The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth chasing, so patience is the name of the game.
The first real chance at anything rideable at Haubush doesn’t pop up until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then it’s a marginal call. The swell is small, only 3 feet from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds, so there’s a bit of energy in the water (energy reading 575). But the wind is howling from the ENE at 25 mph, ripping straight across the reef. It’s a cross-shore mess, and while the period is nice, the conditions are just lumpy. You’ll be fighting a chop for a knee-high wave. Not the day to get excited.
Wednesday the 12th of August afternoon sees a little uptick, with the swell hitting 3 feet from the S at 18 seconds, and the wave energy jumps up to 1026 — that’s actually moderate wave energy. But again, that cross-shore ENE wind at 30 mph keeps things messy. The report says marginal at best, with poor quality. It’s a tease.
The rest of the outlook is a grim repeat. The entire second week from the 14th through the 20th of August is just blown out. The wind stays relentless from the ENE, often hitting 35 to 45 mph, and the swell climbs to 6 feet on the 15th and 16th, but it’s short-period windswell from the E at 7–8 seconds. That’s pure junk. Waves are breaking, sure, but it’s a bumpy, washing-machine mess. For a reef break like Haubush, that’s not surfable. If you’re a kiteboarder, then the Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August might look interesting with that strong cross-shore breeze and 6 feet of messy swell — but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, comes on Thursday the 20th of August. The wind finally eases to 25 mph from the ENE, and it shifts to a cross-offshore direction. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the SW, but that 21-second period is proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (739), and the report says “clean.” It’s small, but it might be the one clean, glassy-ish session in the whole 16 days. Don’t expect much, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
In short, we’ve got a long gap of nearly a week with no real surf, then a few marginal days, and then a whole lot of wind. It’s a tough run, but it won’t stay this way forever. Forecasts change.
Stay patient, 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.
