The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at Haubush over the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest—first week is a bit of a bust, but if you’re patient, there’s a real nice payoff at the end.
We kick off Monday, September 14th, and it’s pretty flat. Swell is only about 1 foot from the southwest, with a moderate cross-shore wind and weak energy. Water temp is about 81°, pretty much normal for this time of year. Surf is poor, and that theme sticks through most of the week. Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell bump to around 3 to 3 feet, but the wind is still a moderate cross-shore, and the wave energy is moderate but messy. The period drops from 20 seconds down to 18, so those long-period lines aren’t doing us any favors with the wind.
By Thursday the 17th, we get a jump in size—morning sets around 5 feet from the east-northeast—but the period is short, only 10 seconds, and the wind is still cross-shore. The energy is ramping up, but it’s marginal at best. This is looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session. That trend holds through the weekend: 3 to 4 feet from the southwest, but the wind stays fresh and cross-shore, keeping the surface lumpy and chopped.
There’s a real dry stretch here. From Monday the 14th through Thursday the 24th, it’s mostly poor or marginal surf. Not a single standout day. The wind just won’t let up, and the swell is either too small or too short-period to make anything of it. You’re better off waiting.
Then, finally, a shift. Friday the 25th sees lighter winds, a gentle breeze, and the swell holds around 3 feet from the south-southwest with a 15-second period. Still marginal, but you can see a glimmer. The real magic starts on Saturday the 26th. The afternoon goes glassy—dead calm, just a slight air from the south-southwest—and the swell is 3 feet at 14 seconds. That’s clean, lined-up, and the energy is moderate. This is the first proper session of the whole outlook. Sunday the 27th afternoon is also looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast, 3 feet at 15 seconds.
But the standout? That’s got to be Monday the 28th. Morning session: glassy conditions, wind from the south-southwest at just 3 mph, and the swell bumps to about 3 feet with a very long 18-second period. The combined wave energy is strong. This is the best on offer. That long-period groundswell from the south-southwest will be lining up beautifully on the reef at Haubush. Expect clean, powerful waves with plenty of push, but keep in mind that long-period swell can be a bit straight at some breaks—here on the reef, it should be fine. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Tuesday the 29th still has some life, with glassy conditions again in the afternoon, 3 feet at 16 seconds, and solid energy. Not quite the peak of Monday, but a very close second.
So overall, it’s a slow start with a lot of wind and marginal surf, but the final few days—especially Saturday the 26th through Tuesday the 29th—deliver clean, glassy conditions with a nice long-period groundswell. The best session by far is Monday morning the 28th. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
