The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of small, junky conditions, and honestly, I’m not seeing a single day that’s worth paddling out for a proper session. We’re looking at a gap of about two weeks with no real surf on offer, starting from today, July 19th, right through to the end of the forecast period on August 3rd.
The only spot in the game is Haulover, a beach/pier/jetty setup that’s fairly exposed. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s also inconsistent, and that’s a big part of the problem here. The swell energy is weak, sitting at just 27 (combined energy) for the first Sunday morning, and it never climbs into anything meaningful. The waves are tiny, 2ft out of the SE, with a short, choppy period of 4 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell. The wind is a cross-onshore SSE breeze at 12 mph, and it’s choppy. It’s a poor surf setup.
Monday the 20th is much the same: 2ft to 3ft, still short period, still cross-shore or cross-onshore winds. The energy is weak (41 at best). The surf is just messy.
Tuesday through to the end of July is a washout. The swell drops to 2ft and then 0.7ft to 1ft. The period stays short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds. The wind is all over the place – cross-on, cross, cross-off – but it’s all on small, weak waves. The energy is in the teens and twenties, which is barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride.
Getting into the first week of August, nothing changes. The 1st and 2nd are still tiny, 0.7ft to 1.0ft, with poor energy and lumpy, choppy conditions. The 3rd of August has a glimmer of a longer period (11 seconds) from the NE, but the swell height is only 0.3ft and the energy is a pathetic 5. It’s a tease.
Look, the truth is, with the swell this small, the wind this messy, and the break being a beach setup, the whole thing looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a surfer, it’s a blank run. Stay patient, check the forecasts again in a few days. Conditions can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
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.
