The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat, 'cause I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Haubush is a real struggle. I've been staring at the charts, and honestly, there's almost nothing to get excited about for a long, long time.

Let's start with the good, because it's the only thing to cling to. The best chance we get is way down the track, around Saturday, August 29th. Haubush is a reef break, exposed to swell from the SSE. The water temp is sitting right around 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. On that Saturday afternoon, the wind is set to go light and cross-offshore, which is a massive positive. That'll clean things up nicely. The swell is from the east at 3ft, with a period of 14 seconds. That's a nice long-period groundswell that'll bring some real energy. The combined energy will be sitting at 769 (moderate), so there's some punch. The guidance says the optimum swell direction is SSE, and this is coming from the east, so it's a bit off-angle, but the clean conditions should make it workable. The crowd profile says "often" here, and with it being a rare decent window, expect company.

But here's the brutal truth: before that, there's a massive gap. The first solid recommendation doesn't come until that Saturday. From now (Friday, August 14th) all the way through to that afternoon on the 29th, it's a write-off. The wind is relentless—a constant, fresh cross-shore blast from the ENE, sometimes hitting near gale force. The swell is a mess of weak, short-period windswell, and even when the swell height gets up to 12ft on Sunday the 16th, the wind is howling onshore and the energy is a nasty 1997 (strong), but the conditions are just junk. The wave comment on nearly every day is "poor surf conditions." It's a beach and reef setup, but honestly, with those winds and that chop, it looks more interesting for a kite session than a surf.

The second week doesn't offer much relief either. From the 19th to the 25th, it's a constant drum of cross-shore wind and tiny, disorganized waves. The swell period does get long (15-18 seconds) on the 20th and 21st, but the heights are pathetic (2ft to 3ft) and the wind is still trashing it. The combined energy stays weak (around 400-500), confirming there's just no push.

The only other flicker of life is on Thursday, August 27th, morning and afternoon. The swell is 4ft from the east, with a long period of 18 seconds, giving a combined energy of 1691 (strong). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is better than a gale, but it's still not clean. It ticks marginal, not good.

So, to sum it up: one standout afternoon on Saturday, August 29th, at Haubush. Everything else is a waiting game. It's a bleak run, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I'd be planning a long surf trip somewhere else.

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.
