The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next week and a half are pretty ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch of small, chopped-up surf with onshore winds, and honestly, there’s not much worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting around 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice while you’re getting skunked.
We’re looking at a real dry spell from Thursday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 22nd. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the winds are all over the shop, mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore. It’s going to be bumpy and weak. The combined energy is mostly in the weak zone, with values like 47 and 30, so there’s just no push in the water. This is a proper waiting period.
Now, let’s talk about the light at the end of the tunnel. The first real glimmer shows up on Wednesday the 23rd. Haulover (beach/pier/jetty) starts to wake up with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. The swell jumps to 4ft from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 322 – that’s moderate energy, and it feels like a pulse. The surf will be lined up and the winds are finally working with us. It’s a good looking morning, and the afternoon holds similar promise with energy at 365. This is the standout of the whole window.
Then, Thursday the 24th morning is another gem. The wind drops to glassy, with a light SSE breeze. The swell is a touch smaller at 4ft from the NNE, but with that glass, it’s going to be clean and cruiser. The energy is at 202, still solid. This is your other top pick. The morning is the move because the afternoon wind swings around to a cross-onshore and chops it up again.
After that, Friday the 25th rolls in with the swell fading back down to 2ft, and the energy drops back to the weak zone at 127. It’s back to the waiting game.
So, to keep it simple: the first ten days are a write-off. Mark your calendar for Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th (at Haulover). That’s where the clean, rideable waves are going to be. Long-range calls are always a bit of a gamble, but this one looks promising. Keep the faith, it’s coming.
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.

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.
