The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Haubush. This reef break is exposed to the swell, and it prefers a SSE direction. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
To be honest, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. There’s plenty of swell energy kicking around – we’re talking moderate to strong energy levels, with readings like 1840 and even hitting 4523 on Monday the 7th – but the wind is a mess. We’ve got fresh cross-shore breezes, cross-onshore slop, and onshore winds blowing straight into the face. It’s all lumpy cross-chop and messy conditions. The scores reflect it: not worth paddling out. That big spike on Monday afternoon is 3.0m from the SW, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph, it’s blown-out junk for all but the most dedicated. Tuesday the 8th keeps the trend with onshore winds and a dropping swell. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell drops right back to 0.9m, and while the wind lightens, the energy is low at 526, and it’s still onshore or cross-shore. Marginal at best.
From Thursday the 10th through to the start of the second week, there’s a long gap of nothing but marginal or poor conditions. The swell is inconsistent and small, mostly under 1.4m, with short periods under 11 seconds or long period but low energy. The wind stays cross-shore and moderate, keeping the surface messy. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 13th afternoon when the wind turns cross-offshore and it cleans up, but the swell is a measly 1.1m from the ENE with a 7-second period – weak and gutless, with energy at just 239. Not exactly firing.
Into the second week, from Monday the 14th onwards, the swell gets even smaller – dropping to 0.5m and 0.9m – and the wind stiffens. By Wednesday the 16th, we’re seeing fresh to strong cross-shore breezes at 19 to 25 mph, making the surface lumpy and messy. The energy climbs back up into the 600–900 range, but it’s all long-period SSW groundswell with no real power behind it for this break. The conditions just aren’t there.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The wind is the enemy, and the swell either comes from the wrong direction or gets chewed up by the breeze. If you’re desperate, maybe the cross-offshore moment on Sunday the 13th afternoon gives you a clean-ish wave, but it’s tiny. Otherwise, this is a long, flat, blown-out run. Haubush needs a proper SSE swell with light offshore winds to show its true colours, and we just aren’t getting that here.

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.
