The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's talk surf.
Honestly, mate, if you're chasing waves here, you're in for a long wait. The whole 16-day window looks pretty bleak for any proper paddling. We're talking over a week of nothing but tiny, weak, onshore slop. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until Monday, September 7th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
From Tuesday, August 25th right through to Saturday, September 6th, it's a flat spell. Swell heights are barely cracking 3 ft, with periods so short (3-4 seconds) you’d be paddling for nothing. The combined energy is stuck well under 100, mostly in the teens and twenties — that's weak. The wind is constantly cross-onshore or directly onshore, making it choppy and messy. Water temps are about average for this time of year.
The first glimmer of something rideable shows Monday morning, September 7th at Haulover. It's a beach/pier/jetty setup, exposed to NNE swell, but inconsistent as a rule and crowds are often a thing here. We get a little 2 ft swell from the NNE (8 second period). The combined energy is still low at (83), and it's a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" sort of deal. The saving grace is a light breeze from the SW — that's cross-offshore, so it'll actually be clean. It's not going to blow your mind, but for the first real wave in two weeks, you take it.
Then Tuesday, September 8th morning, we get a proper glass-off. A 2 ft swell from the NE (10 second period) with a light offshore wind from the W. That clean face is what we've been starving for. Combined energy sits at (96), still low, but the conditions will make it feel better than it looks. It’s a beginner-friendly size, perfect for a longboard or a foiler. By Wednesday, September 9th morning, it's still clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW and a 2 ft NNE swell (10 second period) energy at (72). The consistency is the issue here, but if you pick your banks between sets, you might snag a little runner.
Best on offer: You have to be patient, but the Monday September 7th or Tuesday September 8th mornings are your best bet. The Tuesday morning with that offshore wind is the standout — clean, knee-to-waist high waves with no wind messing them up. It's small, but it'll be the cleanest surf of the whole outlook.

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.
