The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, it’s a tough one for this stretch of coast. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The surf just isn’t showing up.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell starting now. The first couple of days, Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August, are a total write-off. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the wind is just ruining any chance of a wave. It’s a complete flat spell with no real recommendations on the table.
The whole 16-day period is a blank run. The swell never gets above about 3 ft or so, and when it does, it’s coming from the east or southeast with a short, weak period. The wind is consistently cross-shore or onshore, chopping up whatever small bump might try to form. For a spot like Haulover, a beach/pier/jetty setup that’s already inconsistent, this is a brutal stretch. The water temperature is sitting around 86°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least it’s warm for a swim.
On the 11th and 12th of August, we see the swell bump up to about 4 ft from the ESE, but it’s all onshore wind and messy. The combined energy is only hitting 76 (moderate), but the poor surf quality just kills it. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still not worth paddling out for. You’d have a better time with a kite than a surfboard in this onshore slop.
Bottom line: surfers, take a break. It’s a flat, choppy outlook all the way through. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
