Haulover Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, sittin’ on the beach with not a whole lot to get excited about. I’ve looked at the numbers for this stretch, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean spell for Haulover. We’re lookin’ at the next couple of weeks, and honestly, there’s no real “go” day in the mix. The first wave we might paddle for isn’t even on the radar until Thursday, July 2nd. Before that? Nothin’ worth mentioning, just a flat, quiet start.

The Pattern: The entire 16-day outlook is filled with small, weak, short-period swell. We’re talkin’ windswell with periods of 4 to 8 seconds – all that low-energy chop that just messes with your timing. The combined energy rarely breaks out of the weak zone, with most readings sittin’ between 10 and 60 – barely a pulse. Every day looks like a fight with onshore or cross-shore winds, so finding a clean face is going to be a project.

The Only Glimmer – July 13th & 14th:
Now, if you’re desperate, there are two tiny windows that look *less* terrible. On Monday, July 13th in the morning, we get a glassy calm with a tiny 3 ft swell out of the SSE, period of 5 seconds. The water temp is 86°F, which is feelin’ *a touch warmer than normal* for the time of year. That glassy surface is a big positive, but the wave itself is ridiculously weak (combined energy of 44). Then on Tuesday, July 14th morning, it’s glassy again with a 2 ft ESE swell (period 4 seconds). Both are tiny, gutless, and for a beach/pier/jetty setup like Haulover (United States), that short period means it’s gonna fold over quick. Honestly, this looks more interesting for a morning float than any kind of tube ride.

Crowds are possible here, but with conditions this poor, I doubt many will show. The best I can say is: the swell is so small it’s beginner-friendly, if you call that a plus.

The Rest of the Run:
From Friday, July 3rd right through to Friday, July 17th, it’s a mix of cross-on and cross-shore winds with swell under 3 ft. It’s all “poor surf conditions” with combined energy dipping as low as 10. For a spot that’s “fairly exposed” to the NNE, the swells we’re getting from the SE and E just don’t line up right. You might see a few crumbly waves, but it’s gonna be choppy, windy, and frustrating. This is the kind of stretch where you leave the board in the car and just watch the horizon.

Bottom line: Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is about as flat and uninteresting as it gets for Haulover.
