Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening at Haubush for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for this reef. There’s a long gap of poor surf, with only a couple of short windows that might be worth wetting a line. The first decent chance is on Wednesday the 9th, and after that, there’s a few days of nothing worthwhile.

The best of the whole period is Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. The swell is just 3ft out of the SSW, with a long period of 13 seconds – that’s real groundswell, and it’s a good fit for a reef. The combined wave energy is moderate at 351. What makes it a standout is the glassy, offshore wind from the west. That’s going to clean it up perfectly, giving you some smooth, lined-up waves. It’s small, but with that period and wind, you’ll be stoked. The water temp is 81°, which is about average for the time of year.

Next up is Saturday afternoon, September 12th. The swell drops to 2ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind turns cross-off from the NE. The combined energy is weak at 286. It’s clean, but you’re really hunting for a wave. Not a standout, but if you’re keen, you might get a few.

The rest of the window is a mess. Cross-shore chop, onshore winds, or just too small. The swell bumps up to 3ft around the 18th and 19th, but the wind is howling from the ENE at 15-18 mph, creating a lumpy, messy surface. The energy on the 18th morning hits 1601, which is strong, but it’s all wasted on poor conditions. For a reef, that’s a washing machine, not a surf session.

Crowds at Haubush are often a thing, but with this forecast, you’ll probably have the place to yourself. It’s a tough outlook, but that’s the way it goes here sometimes. Forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely.

Rusty.
