The Lowdown
Well, mates, I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window from now, it's a real tough stretch for Haulover. There's just no good surf on offer. The entire forecast period is filled with "poor surf conditions" across the board. We're looking at a solid run of days with nothing to get excited about.
The first recommendation would be for Saturday the 5th, but it's a no-go. Tiny swell around 1 ft from the east, with a short period of 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 9. The wind is a cross-shore from the SSE at 9 mph, which will just add a little chop. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 87°, but that's no comfort when there's no surf.
From Saturday the 5th right through to Sunday the 20th, it's one long, flat spell. The swell heights barely nudge above 3 ft, with periods mostly under 9 seconds, which is just short-period, weak windswell. The combined energy values are all tiny, mostly in the teens or single digits.
There are a few moments of glassy conditions, like Sunday morning the 6th, Monday morning the 7th, and Tuesday morning the 8th. But with swell heights of 0.7 ft and combined energy of 6, 8, and 14 respectively, it's just flat calm. Not even a ripple worth paddling for.
Later in the week, around the 18th and 19th, we see a tiny bump up to 3 ft and 3 ft from the east and ESE, but the period is still short (4-5 seconds) and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, creating choppy, messy conditions. The combined energy on the 19th afternoon hits 67, which is still weak, and on the 20th morning it's 61. It's still poor.
For an area where breaks are inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. It just doesn't look good for paddle surfing. The setup might be more interesting for kite surfing if the wind picks up, but for a traditional surfer, there's nothing to recommend. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
