The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim around here. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The only real highlight – and I’m using that word loosely – is a brief window right at the end of the period. For the first week or so, you’re better off keeping the boards in the car and going for a coffee.
Haulover (beach/pier/jetty) is our only spot on the radar, and it’s an inconsistent joint that needs a lot of things to line up. Right now, nothing is lining up. From Wednesday the 19th of August right through to the morning of Thursday the 27th of August, it’s a write-off. Swell is tiny – mostly around 0.7 ft – with a weak, short-period easterly windswell that’s got no push. The combined wave energy is in the doldrums, barely scratching double digits (values between 6 and 25). On top of that, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making what little lump there is a mess. There’s glassy conditions on the morning of the 26th, but with only 2 ft of short-period (4 seconds) junk, it’s not worth the paddle.
Then, on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August, we finally get a pulse. The swell picks up to 1 ft, but the key is the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, making it clean. The combined energy hits 91, which is still moderate, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a fortnight. The waves will be surfable, but very ordinary conditions. It’s a one-session wonder, though, because the afternoon looks dicey with a cross-shore and risk of storms.
The rest of the forecast through to the 3rd of September is back to poor surf conditions, with weak swell and strong, messy winds. There’s a period of clean offshore winds on the 29th, but only 2 ft of short-period swell – not enough to get excited about.
So, the best on offer? Without a doubt, the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. Haulover will see a clean, 1 ft groundswell from the east with a 12-second period. The light offshore breeze from the SSW will keep it tidy. For a spot that rarely gets clean, it’s a brief moment of hope. But don’t expect much – it’s small, and the break itself is inconsistent. If you’re a beginner, this is your window, but it’s not going to be pumping.
Overall, a very quiet outlook. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.
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.
