The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you what's on the menu for Haulover. I'm looking straight down the barrel of the next two weeks, and I gotta be honest with you, it's a tough stretch for paddle surfing. We've got a long gap of poor conditions ahead.
Right off the bat, from Sunday afternoon August 2nd right through to Monday August 17th, there's not a single moment I’d recommend you bother paddling out. That's a solid two-week blank run. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 0.7ft to 4ft, and it’s coming from the East or Southeast with a short, weak period around 4 to 8 seconds. There's just no push. The combined wave energy is almost always in the weak zone, barely scraping triple digits on just one occasion (106 on Friday August 7th morning). Even then, the wind is howling onshore from the East at 19 mph, creating absolute junk. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.
For most of the period, the wind is either cross, cross-on, or straight onshore, often from the SSE or ESE, making things choppy and ugly. Haulover is a beach and pier setup, so with that wind and those tiny, weak swells, honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than trying to get a proper paddle surf. There’s just no energy and no quality.
So here’s the deal: there are no standouts, no hidden gems. Nothing is breaking consistently, and the forecasts aren't giving us anything to get excited about. For Haulover, this kind of flat, windy run is just how it goes sometimes. Don't write the whole season off yet, though; things can flip quick.
Stay salty.

Information about the Haulover Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Haulover provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Haulover can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Haulover 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 (Haulover) 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 Haulover 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.
