The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let me tell you how it’s looking for Haubush over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch of forecast for this reef setup. The good news? There’s barely any good news, but we’ll work through it.

Right now, through Sunday the 16th of August, it’s a mess. We’ve got a thunderstorm threat on Sunday morning with a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind from the SE and a lumpy 12 ft swell coming out of the ESE at 9 seconds. The combined energy is a meaty 2273, but with that wind, it’s just a churned-up, poor surf zone. Not even worth paddling out. Sunday afternoon is slightly better, with the wind dropping to 15 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell drops to 6 ft, still messy. Forget it.

Monday the 17th through to Wednesday the 19th of August is a dead zone. Swell drops right back to around 2 ft to 3 ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the ENE at 15-20 mph, creating lumpy cross-chop. The combined energy falls into the hundreds (max 789), but it’s surf of very little consequence and poor quality. Not a single wave worth getting out of bed for.

Now, there’s a tiny flicker on Thursday the 20th of August. The morning is still marginal – cross-onshore light breeze at 6 mph, 2 ft swell from the SW with a long 18-second period. That’s a groundswell with some reach, but the wind is still on it. However, Thursday afternoon sees the wind go glassy – 3 mph from the E, dead calm. The swell is still only 2 ft from the SW at 17 seconds, and the combined energy is 385 – weak, but glassy means clean. It’s not big, but for a reef like Haubush, a long period SW groundswell with glassy conditions could offer a small, clean wave. This is the one true standout in the whole 16 days. It won’t be powerful, but it’ll be rideable and pretty. The water temp is about 81°F – that’s close to normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are often here, so expect company even for small waves.

Friday the 21st of August mornings and afternoons are marginal again – 3 ft from the SSW at 16-17 seconds, with light onshore winds. It’s not clean, but not total junk. Still, not worth a special trip.

Then from Saturday the 22nd of August right through to the end of the forecast, it turns into a relentless wall of fresh cross-shore winds from the ENE. Swell slowly builds, but the wind never lets up. By Sunday the 23rd, we see 2 ft at 15 seconds, but ENE winds at 22 mph – just messy. Later in the week, around Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th of August, the swell picks up to 7 ft from the E at 8 seconds – short-period stuff – but the cross-shore wind is still 15-20 mph. That’s lumpy, bumpy, and unappealing for a paddle surfer. With that amount of wind and size, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a standard surf session. The combined energy climbs into the 800-1200 range, but the wind kills it.

The very end of the period, Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August, sees swell drop back to 4 ft from the E at 13 seconds, and ENE winds are 12 mph but still cross-shore. It’s marginal at best. The energy is still over 1000, but there’s no clean window.

So here’s the deal: the only real window for something clean is Thursday afternoon the 20th of August. A small, glassy SW groundswell at Haubush. It won’t be epic, but it’ll be the best of a bad bunch. Everything else is either blown out or just too small to care about. Keep an eye on the forecast, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
