The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in feet and miles per hour.
Straight up, the next few days at Haubush are a bust. We’ve got persistent cross-shore winds, mostly out of the ENE, blowing a fresh to strong 15-25 mph. The water’s sitting at a warm 81°, about average for now, but you won't be in it long. There’s wave energy around (825-1254 units – moderate), but that wind is tearing it up, leaving a lumpy cross-chop that’s no fun.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are total washouts. Saturday the 5th looks a bit more interesting in the morning with a 7ft swell from the east, but the wind is still cross-shore, keeping conditions only marginal. The energy is climbing (2421 – strong), but the wind is still the problem.
Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th are the same story: 6ft to 8ft swells from the SSW and SW with solid energy (up to 4226), but the cross-shore wind means lumpy conditions. The wind is just wrecking the shape.
Then Tuesday the 8th gets ugly. We’ve got a massive 20ft swell from the SSW at 13 seconds, with strong cross-onshore winds from the south at 25 mph. Total chaos. The wave energy is a huge 12237 – very strong, but this is a kite-surfing day, not for paddling. Wednesday the 9th drops off to a tiny 3ft swell, but the wind finally swings light offshore from the SE. The energy is weak (543), so only marginal.
From Wednesday the 9th through Monday the 14th, it's a long stretch of small, poor-to-marginal conditions. We’re looking at 2ft to 5ft swells with cross or cross-onshore winds and low energy (under 1105). Nothing worth chasing.
Tuesday the 15th shows a little promise: a 2ft swell from the SW, but with a *very long* 21-second period. The energy is moderate (719), and the wind is a light cross-shore. That long period will make the waves fat and walled-up at this reef, but at least the surface will be cleaner. Wednesday the 16th is your real standout. A 4ft swell from the SSW, still with that long 18-second period, and a moderate cross-shore wind. The energy is solid (1309). It won't be glassy, but it’ll be the best we’ve seen in two weeks. That long-period groundswell should line up nicely on the reef, just be ready for longer lulls between sets. That’s your window.
After that, Thursday the 17th it fades back into wind-affected, small surf.
So, the one to circle is Wednesday the 16th at Haubush. Everything else is either blown flat or blown out.
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.
