The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about what's coming up at Haulover. It's a beach/pier/jetty setup that's exposed to the swell, but the truth is, the next 16 days are looking like a real struggle for surfable waves. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Right from the get-go on Tuesday, August 4th, it's a write-off. We're seeing a tiny 2ft swell from the SE with a period of just 3 seconds – that's pure wind chop, no energy to speak of (combined energy is a measly 8). To make matters worse, we've got a 16 mph cross-onshore wind. It's choppy and messy, definitely not worth the paddle.
This grim pattern locks in for days. We're looking at a solid 13-day stretch where the waves just aren't there. The swell stays tiny, often under 3ft, with periods mostly under 8 seconds. The wind is almost always from the SE or E, blowing onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface a mess. The max combined energy we see in this whole period is only 74, which is considered weak. There's nothing here that would make any surfer get excited.
The closest we get to anything halfway decent is around Saturday, August 15th, with a 3ft swell from the SE, but again, the wind is onshore from the ESE, and the period is a short 5 seconds. It's still poor.
Because this spot is described as "inconsistent" and the forecast is a total blank with no decent swell, the wind, or the quality, it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one. For a surfer, it's a hard pass. Sometimes you just have to call it a dry spell, and this is one of them.
Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.

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.
