The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it's a tough outlook for the next couple of weeks around Haulover. The finder is showing a big, fat zero for the entire 16-day window. Not a single session worth paddling out for. Right now, we're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is tiny. The combined wave energy is barely scraping into double digits, mostly sitting around the 15 to 28 mark, which is incredibly weak. This is a pretty normal blank run for this area when the weather patterns lock in, so don't lose hope, but for now, it's a waiting game.
Let's run through it. It kicks off with a few days of onshore ESE wind and swell barely over 1.5 ft, with a period of just 4 seconds. That's not surf, that's just bumpy water. The energy is low, never breaking 30. By the 28th of August, it drops even lower. We get a brief moment on the 2nd of September where the period climbs to 12 seconds, but the swell height is only 1 ft, and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, so it's just a tease. The energy value climbs to 53 that morning, but with almost no height and crummy wind, it's a no-go. As we move into the first week of September, the wind stays stubbornly onshore from the E and ENE, with the swell direction shifting to NNE. The heights finally push up to 2 ft around the 6th and 7th, and the energy gets into the low 50s, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy and poor. The best period we see in the whole run is a 9-second swell on the 8th with energy at 55, but again, cross-onshore wind kills it.
The bottom line: there is no standout. There is no best day. If you're looking for a paddle, you might be better off taking up kite surfing for a while, because the wind is consistent even if the waves aren't. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, the board stays in the car.

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.
