The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you what I’m seeing for Haubush over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, it starts off pretty grim. We’ve got a reef setup here that’s exposed to the swell and likes it from the SSE direction, but for the first several days, the winds are just howling out of the ENE, slapping a nasty cross-chop all over the place. The water is currently sitting at a warm 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort.
Looking at the run from Monday August 31st through to Wednesday September 9th, the surf is mostly a write-off. The wind stays cross or cross-shore, and by Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th, we’ve got a solid 7 ft to 8 ft of short-period E swell, but that 25 mph breeze just tears it apart. The combined energy is moderate at first, but even when it jumps into the strong range on the 4th and 5th, the quality is just not there. The wave comment keeps calling it “poor surf conditions” day after day. Really frustrating.
Now, we finally get a glimpse of something better come Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. Monday afternoon has the swell bumping up to 12 ft from the ENE with a period of 13 seconds, and the wind eases to a moderate 16 mph, going *cross-offshore*. That’s a game changer. The water is clean for the first time. The combined energy is a massive 6859, which is very strong wave energy. This is the standout session for the whole period. That said, at 12 ft, this is expert territory only. Anybody but a very experienced surfer should sit this one out. By Tuesday morning the 8th, it’s still big at 13 ft, but the wind swings to a cross 19 mph and we’ve got a risk of t-storms, so it gets messy again.
After that, it trails off into smaller, cleaner but less powerful surf. The tail end of the forecast, around Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th of September, shows promise for the glassy conditions. Monday afternoon the 14th goes *glassy* with only a 3 mph wind, and we get 4 ft of E swell. Then on Tuesday afternoon the 15th, the wind goes glassy again and the swell drops to 2 ft but is a long 18-second SSW groundswell. Combined energy is weak, so it’ll be tiny, clean, and perfect for a longboard or a finless session if the reef handles that long period.
In the end, if you’re after the biggest, most powerful waves with clean conditions, clear your calendar for Monday September 7th afternoon. That’s the one. The rest of the window is either blown out or too small to get excited about. For the beginners, there’s nothing in the first week for you, and even the glassy days in the second week are still a bit small.

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.
