The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first real surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the 4th of September, and even then, it’s a struggle. The whole run is a bit of a bust, to be honest. There’s a big gap of nothing happening, and when we do get a pulse, it’s tiny and messy.
The only spot in the game is Haulover, a beach/pier/jetty setup that’s inconsistent and often crowded. The water temp is sitting around 87°, which is normal for this time of year.
From Friday the 4th right through to the afternoon of September 8th, it’s all poor conditions. We’re talking tiny, weak swell – mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, short period stuff around 3 to 5 seconds, and ugly cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is pitiful, barely registering (14 to 29). It’s just not worth paddling out for.
The morning of Monday the 7th offers a small window of clean, glassy conditions with a light offshore wind, but the swell is only 0.7 ft. It’s flat. You’d be better off taking a walk.
Things get a little more interesting starting Wednesday the 9th. A new swell arrives from the NNE, and it’s the only real standout of the whole period. On Wednesday morning, we see 2 ft from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is clean onshore. The combined energy climbs to 94. By the afternoon, it’s 2 ft from the NE with a 9-second period, and the energy crosses into moderate territory (102). This is the best we’ll see. It’s still small, but the direction is right, and the wind is clean. It’s the one to aim for if you’re desperate for a wave.
After that, it fades again. The energy drops back to 65 and 59 on Thursday the 10th, and then we’re back to tiny, weak slop for the rest of the run. The period drops to 7-8 seconds, and the winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore. By the 19th, we get a little bump back to 3 ft from the NNE with moderate energy (99), but it’s still not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a classic blank run for this area. If you’ve got a kite, the breezy, choppy afternoons might be your thing, but for a paddle surfer? I’d wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
