The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this stretch of coast is in a proper flat spell, so don't get your hopes up for any decent waves for the next 16 days.
We're looking at Haulover, and the truth is, there's nothing on the cards worth paddling out for. The entire forecast period is a write-off. We've got a mix of tiny, weak swell and poor wind conditions that just won't line up. The combined wave energy barely gets a pulse, with values hanging around the 7 to 58 mark – that's weak to very weak energy, the kind that barely moves the water. For the first week, from Friday the 17th right through to the end of July, it's a depressing run of "poor surf conditions" with wave heights mostly under 2ft and short, choppy periods. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, making things a lumpy, messy affair.
The second week, rolling into August, offers no relief. We're still looking at the same story: tiny swells, poor conditions, and winds that won't clean up. The combined energy does nudge up a tiny bit on the 28th and 29th of July, hitting 58 and 46, but it's still a long way from anything surfable, and the swell is still small and weak. Honestly, there isn't a single standout moment in this 16-day window. For a spot like Haulover, which is already inconsistent, a blank run this long is a normal part of the deal. It's flat, it's calm, and the only thing getting a workout will be your tan. The forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
