Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same outlook but in feet and miles per hour.

The next couple of weeks are a tough pill to swallow. If you’re looking for a clean wave, you’ll be doing a lot of waiting.

The only spot that even gets a nod in the 16-day window is Haubush (reef). The action starts on Tuesday, July 28th. Haubush has a 7 ft swell rolling in from the East, with a 13-second period. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, which means good shape potential on a reef. The combined swell energy is a solid 1676. The rub is the wind: a moderate breeze out of the NE at 16 mph, blowing cross-offshore. Not perfect, but it should keep the surface decent for a session. The water temp is about 80°, which feels normal for this time of year.

I wouldn’t say Tuesday is a world-beater, but it’s your only real option. Keep in mind that crowds here are common, and with such a narrow window of surfable weather, it’ll get busy.

From Wednesday, July 29th onward, the outlook gets grim. For days on end, we’re looking at persistent cross-shore winds, mostly from the ENE, blowing at moderate to strong speeds—often 16 mph to 28 mph. That’s going to chop everything up. The swell hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft, but the wind just destroys the surface quality. The wave comments say it all: “poor surf conditions” or “marginal” straight through to the end. From July 30th all the way to August 12th, there isn’t a window I’d tell you to try.

There’s a tiny moment on August 4th with some ENE swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is still cross and the energy is low. That’s a cruel tease.

In the second week, it’s more of the same: stiff ENE winds and lumpy, choppy seas. With that much cross-wind, the set-up at Haubush is better suited for kite surfing than paddling.

Bottom line: your single shot is Tuesday, July 28th at Haubush. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. Everything else is a long, windy wait.

Rusty.
