The Lowdown
Grab a coffee and sit down, 'cause I gotta be straight with you. The next couple of weeks here at Haulover are looking pretty bleak. This is one of those long, flat stretches where you just gotta wait it out.
We are looking at a solid block of nothing from now, right through until around Monday the 19th of August. Day after day the charts are showing tiny, weak swell and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just chopping up whatever slop tries to roll in. The combined swell energy is barely cracking double-digits for most of it, a measly 9 to 62, so there’s just no grunt in the water at all. You'd be paddling around on a lake for the effort.
The only flicker of hope, and I mean the *only* one, comes on Monday morning the 19th of August. We get a little bump of 3ft from the ESE, the period is a weak 5 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. It's a "Slight air" actually noted as glassy. For a spot that gets chopped up so easily, that clean surface is a huge positive. The combined energy is still weak at 35, so it’s not going to be a classic. The swell direction is off the optimum for Haulover which likes NNE, so it's a bit of a cross-up inside. For a complete beginner, 3ft is manageable, but the real win is just having something ridable that isn't blown out. Crowds? On a day like that, "often" means there will be people out, but everyone will be scratching for the same little peaks. Honestly, this is the only call of the whole period.
Other than that one morning, the rest of the 16 days is a solid write-off. The swell stays tiny, the period stays short and weak, and the wind stays messy. On the 17th we get another glassy morning, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the SE, and the energy is still weak. It’s the same story just less swell. For anything over 3ft with this kind of weak, short-period windswell, it'll be better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer—the wind is just too strong and the waves too gutless.
Expect a blank spell that feels like forever, with just one potential reprieve. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a tough stretch. 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.
