The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through it.
This 16-day forecast for Haubush is a rough one. From now through the start of September, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing good. The first week is basically a bust – poor conditions with cross-winds and lumpy, chopped-out surf.
Starting Monday the 31st of August, the swell is 5 ft from the east with a short 7-second period and a fresh cross-shore wind. Water temp is 81°, right around normal for the time of year. But the waves are a mess.
We ride through the whole first week of September with the same story: fresh cross-shore winds, short-period east swells, and only marginal improvement by Friday the 4th in the afternoon. That day we get a 5 ft south swell with an 11-second period, but it’s still only marginal thanks to the cross-chop.
Your best bet is around Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. On Monday the 7th, we’ve got a 6 ft east-northeast swell with a 12-second period and lighter wind – by the afternoon, the wind almost dies, giving you the cleanest conditions of the whole window. Tuesday the 8th morning brings offshore south wind and a 4 ft south-southwest groundswell with a long 15-second period. That’s your cleanest, most lined-up surf for the reef.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through mid-September. The last few days see the swell drop to 2-3 ft with light wind, but there’s just not enough size to get excited.
So mark your calendar for Monday the 7th of September afternoon or Tuesday the 8th morning at Haubush. Tuesday morning with offshore wind and that long-period groundswell is the standout – small but clean and perfect for the reef.
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.
