The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch is about as flat as a day-old beer. Haulover (beach/pier/jetty) is the only game in town, and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The water’s sitting at a warm 87°F, about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is notable but won't help the waves.
Right from Sunday the 16th, we’re looking at tiny, weak energy. The combined swell energy is barely registering (11), with an east-northeast swell of just 0.7ft at a short 8 seconds. Winds are light out of the ESE, so it’s not totally blown out, but there’s nothing to push you around on. It’s all “poor surf conditions” for days.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th? Same story—0.7ft from the east, period stuck around 8 seconds. The combined energy stays in the single digits or low teens. On Tuesday morning we get a clean window with a light offshore from the WNW, but with swell that small, clean just means a flat, glassy lake. You’d be better off with a paddleboard.
Wednesday the 19th through the rest of the month is more of the same. The swell height never climbs above 2ft, and that doesn’t even show up until Tuesday the 25th. The period is mostly short—4 to 10 seconds—so there’s no real push behind it. The combined energy maxes out at a paltry 29 on Thursday the 27th, which is still weak. A few mornings offer clean conditions with offshore or cross-off winds, but without swell, that’s meaningless.
The spot itself is inconsistent and only exposed to NNE swell, which we don’t see any of until the very tail end—Sunday the 30th afternoon we get a 0.7ft from the NNE. That’s not enough to get excited about.
Let’s be real: this is a blank run. There are no standouts, no days to circle on the calendar. For an area like this, a quiet spell isn’t unusual, but it’s a rough one. If you’re desperate for a float, the cleanest mornings might be okay for a longboard if you’re happy just being out there, but there’s no surf to speak of. Forecasts can always change, but right now, leave the boards in the garage.
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.
