Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – the next 16 days at Haubush are a total bummer. We’ve only got this one reef break to talk about, and while it’s a fairly consistent spot, the conditions are just not cooperating.

There’s a big dry spell right at the start. From now until the morning of August 9th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is a stubborn cross-shore from the east, and the swell is all over the place. The combined energy of all swells directed here on Wednesday morning is 254 (moderate wave energy), but it’s just messy. The water temp is about 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

Your first real chance to get wet is on the morning of Sunday, August 9th. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the east, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s pure windswell, and it’s going to be lumpy. The wind is still cross-shore from the east-northeast at 15 mph, so it’s not clean. The combined energy is 514 (moderate wave energy). It’s a marginal call, but it’s all we’ve got. The afternoon gets bigger, 5ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph and the period stays at 7 seconds, making it a total mess. A no-go for sure.

The rest of the second week is a real grind. From the 10th all the way through to the 20th of August, it’s either poor surf or marginal at best. The wind never lets up – a constant cross-shore breeze from the east or east-northeast, sometimes hitting 25 mph. The swell direction jumps around from the south-southwest to the south to the east, and the periods are either short or long. For instance, on the 12th of August, there’s a 3ft south swell with an 18 second period. That’s a long period groundswell, which will break straight and fat. With the wind still cross-shore, it’s not going to be pretty. The combined energy hits 966 (moderate wave energy) that morning and 1074 (strong wave energy) in the afternoon, but the conditions are just too rough.

The last few days, from the 15th to the 18th, the swell is a consistent 6ft to 5ft from the east, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is still a cross-shore mess. It’s the same story: all that energy (636 to 409 – moderate wave energy) and no clean window. Honestly, with that much wind, this spot is looking more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle-surfing one.

There’s no standout day here. The most surfable window is the morning of the 9th, but it’s a real long shot. For an area where this break is fairly consistent, a blank run like this is a bit of a downer, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
