The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Haubush. Gotta be straight with you—this run looks like a long, drawn-out bummer. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, there’s hardly a single session I’d get excited about paddling out for.

Right from the start, Monday morning the 31st kicks off with poor surf conditions. We’ve got a weak, short-period 5 ft swell from the east, only 7 seconds, and a fresh cross-shore wind at 19 mph. The water temp is a balmy 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but the ocean is a lumpy mess. The combined swell energy is only moderate at 580, and it just doesn’t get any better through the afternoon.

The whole first week is a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday are the same story—cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and nothing but poor scores. By Thursday the 3rd, the swell actually bumps up to 8 ft, but it’s still short-period east swell at 8 seconds, and the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-shore. That’s a powerful, messy 1060 energy reading, but it’s only for experts, and the conditions are just too ugly. Honestly, with that much wind and lumpy surf, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

We finally see a glimmer of something on Saturday the 5th of September. The swell holds at 7 ft from the east, and the period stretches to 14 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a massive 2124, so there’s plenty of power in the water. However, the wind is still a fresh cross-shore, and the report calls it marginal. For a reef break like Haubush, that long period can actually work well, but those cross-shore winds will keep the surface bumpy. It’s the best we’ll see for a while, but it’s not a standout.

Sunday the 6th is similar, with 7 ft east swell and 13-second period, but still cross-shore wind. The energy is still strong, but the quality is just not there. Then Monday the 7th, the swell drops a bit to 6 ft, and we get a brief moment of clean conditions Monday afternoon when the wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. That’s the only window of truly clean surf in the whole forecast. The swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, so it’s long-period groundswell hitting the reef. That’s a score for a spot like Haubush—best suited for the reef break setup. But even then, it’s only a 3 out of 10, and it’s a one-off.

After that, from Tuesday the 8th onward, it’s back to poor surf. The wind switches onshore, the swell gets small and weak, and the energy drops to moderate levels. By the second week, from the 9th to the 15th, we’re looking at tiny 2 ft to 3 ft swells from the SSW, with periods around 15–18 seconds. The energy is weak, under 500, and the cross-shore winds are back. Not a single session worth paddling out for.

So, the honest truth: there’s only one day that’s not completely terrible, and that’s Monday afternoon the 7th of September. If you’re desperate and don’t mind a tiny but clean long-period swell, that’s your window. Otherwise, this is a 16-day dud. Blank runs like this happen here, but it’s a bummer all the same.

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.
