The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat and frustrated. There’s nothing that even sniffs like a decent wave. The only spot in the mix is Haulover (beach/pier/jetty), and it’s rated for beginners, but it’s inconsistent and has a reputation for being crowded often. The water temp is sitting at 87°F with an anomaly of 3°F, so a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Right from the start, Sunday September 6th, we’ve got a risk of thunderstorms, a cross-on breeze from the SE at 9 mph, and a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE with a period of just 3 seconds—that’s short, weak, and sloppy. The combined energy is a measly 6, so there’s just nothing to work with. Monday the 7th morning goes glassy with a light cross-off wind, but the swell drops to 0.7 ft—total flatness. This pattern repeats day after day: tiny, short-period swell, poor surf conditions, and generally onshore or cross-onshore winds. The best of a bad bunch might be Tuesday morning September 8th when it goes glassy, but with only 0.7 ft of swell, you’re not getting wet for anything worthwhile.
The whole first week is a washout. There’s a brief bump on Wednesday September 9th morning with 1 ft from the NE at 9 seconds—still not enough to ride. The energy creeps up to 40, but it’s onshore and messy. By Thursday the 10th, we’re back to 2 ft from the NNE, but the cross-on wind kills it. It’s the same story right through the second week—tiny pulses of swell, all under 2 ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, sometimes fresh. The longest period we see is 10 seconds on September 21st afternoon, but the swell is only 0.3 ft, so forget it.
There is no standout. There is no best on offer. The combined energy never gets above 74, and that’s on the 9th September afternoon—still poor surf. The water temp anomaly is only mentioned on the first record, so no further comments on that.
If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger onshore winds (up to 19 mph) on September 20th might make the beach setup interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a dead run. It’s a blank stretch of 16 days. This is normal for the area when the consistency is this low, so don’t hold your breath—forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
