The Lowdown
Oi there, Rusty here, looking at the upcoming swell window for Haulover. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day forecast is a bit of a bummer for surf. There's no real quality on offer, with every session marked as poor surf conditions. You'll see a lot of small, weak, and messy energy. It's one of those periods where the ocean just isn't cooperating for a proper paddle session.
Let's break it down from the top. Starting on Thursday the 3rd of September, it's tiny. We've got a 1ft east swell with a 9-second period, but the wind is a light cross-shore from the south at 6 mph. The combined swell energy is weak at just 29. Not much to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so it's a little toastier than usual, but that's about the only positive. Thursday afternoon sees a southeast cross-onshore breeze pick up to 9 mph, dropping the wave height to 1.0ft and the energy to 19. It's choppy and poor.
Moving into Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, the pattern doesn't change. We're stuck with weak, short-period swell from the southeast, under a light to moderate cross-onshore breeze. Heights are between 1ft and 2ft, with periods of 4 seconds. The combined energy stays low, in the 10 to 24 range. It's small and choppy, not worth getting in the water for.
Sunday the 6th is the smallest day of the whole run. A tiny 0.3ft north-east swell with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 3. You'd be lucky to see a ripple. Monday the 7th brings a brief moment of glass in the morning, with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the southeast, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft from the east with an 8-second period and energy of 6. It's glassy, but there's nothing to ride.
The rest of the first week, from Tuesday the 8th through to the end of the run on Friday the 18th of September, is a repeating story of small, onshore or cross-onshore wind, weak swells. The biggest swell we see all period is a 2ft from the NNE on Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, with a combined energy that just nudges into "moderate" at 113 on Wednesday afternoon. But the wind is onshore from the east at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. That's as good as it gets, and it's still not good.
Haulover is a beach/pier/jetty setup, and with these conditions – mostly onshore wind, weak swell, poor quality – this stretch looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone looking to paddle. The spot itself is inconsistent and best for beginners, and honestly, there are no surfable waves on offer here. It's a blank run.
Trust me, this is a quiet period. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's time to wax the longboard for something else. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
