Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surf’s up... or not. Let’s be real with you. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Haubush, and it’s a bit of a rough stretch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the start is pretty bleak.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t even show up until Wednesday the 12th of August, and even then, it’s a marginal call. From now until then, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’re talking a solid week of poor surf, with waves mostly under 3 feet and a persistent cross-shore wind messing up whatever’s out there. The energy in the water is weak to moderate at best, with the combined swell energy sitting between 180 and 645. It’s the kind of stuff that has you checking the forecast more than the horizon.

Now, when we finally do see a pulse of energy, it’s gonna be on the 12th. The swell direction swings around to the south, which is what Haubush (Haubush) really wants. That morning we’re looking at a summary swell of 3ft, but it’s the period that gets me – 18 seconds. That’s some proper groundswell, pushing the combined energy up to 988, which is solidly in the moderate range. The wind is still a cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy, but the power and direction might just make it worth a paddle. However, the forecast is still tagged as marginal, so don’t expect perfection. This is the standout of the window, but only because everything else is so poor.

After that little blip, it’s back to the same old story. The swell drops back down and the wind stays messy. We do see a bigger push on Friday the 14th with a 7ft easterly swell, but the period is only 8 seconds and the wind is howling at 25 mph. That’s a messy, lumpy, cross-shore chop – that’s not surf, that’s just a washing machine. It’s got some energy behind it though, with the combined energy hitting 814. But with that short period and strong wind, it’s a write-off for a clean ride. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

The rest of the second week follows suit. We’ve got plenty of swell – 5ft to 7ft – but it’s all short-period easterly windswell, and the wind stays relentless from the ENE. It’s lumpy, it’s choppy, and it’s just not going to be any fun. The energy remains moderate-to-strong, with values in the 600-700 range, but it’s all wasted on a messy surface.

So, here’s the deal. If you’re desperate, keep your eyes on the morning of Wednesday the 12th. That’s the only real glimpse of hope in this whole stretch. But honestly, it’s looking like a blank run for the most part. It’s one of those times where the forecast looks poor for a long while, but that can change. A good swell can pop up out of nowhere. Keep the faith.

Rusty.
