The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Haubush. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a long, bleak stretch with barely a single decent window. The wind is relentless, coming from the east and east-northeast, keeping the wave face messy with cross-shore and cross-onshore chop nearly every day. The first real surf energy shows up on the 30th of July, with a combined swell energy of 553 (moderate), but a 3 ft south swell with a 13-second period is completely ruined by a 12 mph cross-onshore breeze. That’s a no-go.
The 31st of July picks up a bit more energy – 827 (moderate) on Friday morning with a 2 ft, 16-second groundswell from the southwest, but again, 22 mph cross winds trash it. Friday afternoon gets a 6 ft east swell, 8-second period, and 902 (moderate) energy, but 22 mph cross winds make it a lumpy, choppy mess. The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August sees the biggest swell, with 8 ft east swell on Saturday morning (strong energy at 1224), but 28 mph cross winds turn it into a chaotic, blown-out wall. That’s kite-surfing conditions, not paddle surfing. The water temperature is 80°F, which is about average for the time of year.
The whole first week is disappointing. The best of a bad lot creeps in around the 4th and 5th of August. Tuesday afternoon the 4th sees a 4 ft east-northeast swell with an 11-second period, light winds at 6 mph, and 447 energy (moderate). The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not great, but it’s the cleanest we get. Wednesday morning the 5th is similar – 3 ft east swell, 9-second period, light cross-onshore at 6 mph, and 347 energy (moderate). For a reef break at Haubush that’s fairly consistent, this is heartbreaking. Crowds are often going to be there, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.
The second week is all small, weak, and cross-windy. The swell drops to 2 ft – 3 ft with periods from 7 to 18 seconds, but the wind stays up, keeping the surface ugly. The 9th of August has a 2 ft south-southwest swell, 18-second period, and 658 energy (moderate), but the wind is still a cross-shore fresh breeze. Nothing is clean enough to recommend. The 14th of August finishes with a 2 ft south swell, 15-second period, and just 146 energy (weak). It’s a full 16-day blank run for this area. Haubush is a reef that’s exposed to the swell, but the wind just won’t let up. It’s a grim outlook, but this stretch is more normal for this time of year here. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Haubush Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Haubush provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Haubush can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Haubush surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Haubush) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Haubush may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Haubush is 2 km (1 miles) from 'Ewa Beach. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in 'Ewa Beach. 'Ewa Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
