Table - best surf conditions forecast for Haulover over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
I'm gonna be straight with you, it's a tough run. The outlook shows a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to recommend across this whole 16-day window. It's one of those stretches where you look at the charts and just shake your head. For the next couple of weeks, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing.
The Overall Picture
We are stuck in a prolonged flat spell. The swell energy is pitifully weak, with readings mostly in the single digits and low double digits. For example, the best we see is a combined energy of just 46 on Saturday the 11th, and it's downhill from there. The waves that do show are tiny—mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft—and they're coming from the SE and E, which isn't ideal for the only spot with any data, Haulover. On top of that, the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, creating poor, choppy conditions. It’s a full-on bummer.
The first real chance you'd even want to poke your head in the water isn't until Thursday, July 24th, but even then, it's a sad state of affairs. That morning we get a bit of a clean-up, but the swell is still tiny and weak. The afternoon of the 24th and into the 25th sees our "best" conditions, but that's not saying much—we’re talking about 2 ft waves at best, with light cross-shore winds. It's small, weak, and barely worth the paddle out. For the beginner surfer, it's not too big at all, but the quality just isn't there.
There's a brief moment on the morning of Sunday, July 26th, that catches my eye. We get a clean, 3 ft wave with a cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. That's the cleanest wind all forecast. But the swell direction is ESE, which isn't the optimum for Haulover (NNE), and the combined energy is still a lowly 30. It's a tease, a glimpse of something that could have been with a bit more juice behind it.
The Bottom Line
Look, this is a blank run. It happens. For an area like this, when the charts go this quiet, you're better off tuning the board, sinking a cold one, and waiting for the next system to roll through. The forecasts can change, but as it stands right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
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.
