The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coastline is going to be a real quiet one. Looking at the next 16 days, there’s not a single surfable wave worth paddling for. It’s a total blank.
We start off here on Tuesday the 28th of July, and honestly, there’s just nothing. Small, weak, and messy. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with a combined energy reading of (10) – that’s about as weak as it gets. The wind is blowing cross-offshore, which is usually a good sign, but with a wave height of only 0.7 ft, it’s flat out depressing. The water is sitting at 87°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s nice for a swim, but not for surfing.
The situation doesn’t improve. We go through the rest of July and into August with the same story. The swell stays pitiful, mostly under 3 ft, and when it does bump up a little, the period is short, around 3 to 4 seconds, which means it’s just wind chop with no energy. The combined energy figures bounce around (17 to 40), which is still weak. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface bumpy and uninviting. Paddling out would be a waste of energy.
The only break in the forecast is Haulover, a beach/pier/jetty setup that’s inconsistent anyway. It’s exposed, but the swell direction is never right. The optimum swell is from the NNE, but we’re getting small scraps from the east and southeast. It’s a beginner spot, but even beginners would be bored.
By the second week, into August, it’s more of the same. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, right through to the 12th of August, there’s just nothing. The best you can say is the wind is occasionally light, but with such tiny waves, it’s a non-event. The combined energy readings are pathetic, often in the single digits.
This is a classic dry spell for the area. It doesn’t look like it’ll change, but we’ve seen forecasts turn around before. For now, leave the boards at home, maybe grab a kite if you’re into that, because the wind is more interesting than the waves. Haulover is a beach setup, and with the poor quality and strong wind, it’s honestly better suited for kiting than paddle surfing.
Stay patient, and check back in a few days.

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.
