The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. This is Rusty.
We’ve got one spot to work with: Haubush, a reef break. Over the 16-day outlook, the first week is basically a no-go. From Monday, August 31st, through that whole week, it’s cross-shore wind, fresh at 18 to 28 mph, and the surf is poor—lumpy, messy cross-chop. Swell runs from about 2 ft to 8 ft, but the wind ruins it. The combined energy is moderate to strong (611 to 1261) but it doesn’t matter when it’s choppy. There’s a gap of 5 to 6 days before anything worth mentioning shows up.
Things get a little better around Saturday, September 5th, but it’s still marginal. Swell hits 8 ft from the east, period 13 seconds, with the energy at 2486—but the wind is cross-shore and there’s risk of thunderstorms. Not the one.
The only real standout comes on Tuesday, September 8th. In the morning, we’ve got 12 ft of east-northeast swell, 13-second period (strong energy at 4547), with a cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast. That’s big, powerful, and clean—experts only. The afternoon isn’t bad either: 7 ft from the east-northeast, offshore wind from the northwest, and energy at 1532. Crowds are likely, so get down early.
Monday, September 7th is a warm-up: 8 ft east-northeast swell, 12-second period, cross-offshore wind, but still marginal on tide. After Tuesday, it drops off. By Wednesday, September 9th, the wind goes onshore and the swell fades to 4 ft to 5 ft. The rest of the second week is small, weak, and cross-shore—no recommendations from the 9th onward. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
So, the long and short of it: wait until Monday, September 7th, and jump on Tuesday, September 8th for the best shot. After that, it’s flat and grim. This spot might be better for kite surfing when the wind’s up, but for paddle surfing, it’s mostly a miss.
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.
