The Lowdown
Alright Rusty here, let’s talk it out.
Looking at Haubush, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. Plenty of days with nothing worth paddling for, so don’t hold your breath early on.
The only real chance to score anything clean is Saturday, 22nd August first thing. The swell is a little 3ft SSW groundswell with a long period of 16 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s your window – clean lines, calm water, and a reef break that’ll hold that size just fine. The combined energy is moderate (457), so you’ll feel a little push. Crowds can be a problem here though, so beat the pack.
Everything before that is poor, and everything after slips back into lumpy cross-shore wind. There’s a bigger bump on Friday, 28th August – swell hits 7ft to 7ft from the east with period stretching to 11 seconds. Energy jumps way up (2282), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 30 km/h. That blows it out for a paddle. At that size and with that wind, it’s more of a kite day.
So really, that Saturday morning slot is your best bet. Small, clean, and sweet – just get there early.
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.
