The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a long look at what’s on the cards.

This is shaping up to be a tough stretch for surf at Haubush. We’ve got a run of pretty ordinary conditions for the next couple of weeks. The wind is going to be a real issue, blowing mostly cross-shore from the east-northeast and east for days on end, keeping things messy and lumpy.

The combined swell energy is moderate to strong – we see values around 1029 (moderate energy) on Wednesday morning, but it jumps to 1154 (moderate energy) by the afternoon. Thursday morning it’s 986. However, the quality just isn’t there with all that cross-breeze.

The water temp is sitting at 81°F with a tiny anomaly of 1°F, so it’s pretty average for the time of year – nothing to complain about on that front. It’s the wind that’s the story here.

Wednesday the 12th is a no-go. We’re looking at a 3 ft swell from the south with a very long 18-second period, but the cross-chop with 16 mph cross-winds makes for a marginal, chunky mess. Afternoon is worse as the wind picks up to 19 mph.

Thursday the 13th through Friday the 14th are just as poor. The swell hangs around 4 ft and 4 ft from the south, but the wind stays strong and fresh, making for poor conditions until Friday afternoon when it flips to a cross-off breeze that cleans things up. Still, the swell is weak and the period shortens to 14 seconds.

Then we hit a brick wall from Saturday the 15th through Monday the 17th. The swell jumps up – Saturday morning sees 8 ft from the east, and by Sunday morning it’s a solid 12 ft from the east. The combined swell energy hits 1689 and 2590 (strong to very strong wave energy). But the wind goes ballistic, with 25 to 34 mph cross-shore winds and a near gale on Sunday. This is serious kite surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The break quality is poor, and the big swell with that much wind will be a washing machine.

The following week, from the 18th through the 27th, the swell drops away to small stuff – mostly 2 ft to 4 ft, with very short periods (7 seconds) or short inconsistent ones. The wind doesn’t give us a real break until Saturday the 22nd. That afternoon, we get a glassy morning with 2 ft from the southwest, 15-second period, and a mere 3 mph wind producing glassy conditions. This is the only window that looks remotely surfable, but with such small waves and the break being a reef that’s fairly consistent but often crowded, it’s not going to fire. The combined swell energy is low at 408 (weak energy).

Honestly, if you’re desperate, the afternoon of Saturday the 22nd is your best bet – just don’t expect much. For the rest, it’s a two-week stretch of mostly blown-out or too-small slop.

Stay hopeful. Forecasts can change.

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.
