The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Haubush in feet.
The next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. From Tuesday the 25th of August, we’re stuck with a fresh cross-shore ENE wind that just tears the surface up. The waves are mostly ankle to knee-high through that first week, with weak, short period swell. The combined energy sits in the moderate zone (around 523 to 960 kJ/m²), but the surface is lumpy and awful.
This pattern keeps up until Tuesday the 1st of September. On the Tuesday afternoon, the wind drops to a moderate breeze and gets a little cross-off, cleaning the ocean right up. The swell is only about 2ft, but the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds from the S – that’s real groundswell. The energy is still strong (705 kJ/m²). That’s the only real window for a clean wave, even if it’s small.
After that, it’s back to messy cross-shore winds. On Saturday the 5th of September, the swell builds to 4ft to 5ft from the E with strong energy (1345 kJ/m²), but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore and the period is a short 13 seconds. The forecast calls it marginal at best.
The second week is more of the same: fresh ENE winds and lumpy conditions. There’s solid energy on the 6th and 7th of September (over 1100 kJ/m²) with waist to chest-high swell from the SSW, but the strong wind makes it more of a kite session than a surf session.
Best bet? The afternoon of Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s your cleanest option.

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.
