Alright, grab a coffee and let me tell you what's cooking. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, but I'll call it as I see it.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a real flat spell here at Haulover. The next two weeks are pretty grim for paddle surfing. There's a big gap of days with no real surf to speak of. We're talking about a stretch where the waves are tiny and the wind is messy. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to the end of the month, it's just a whole lot of nothing. The total wave energy is weak, barely cracking 20 or 30 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on most days, so don't get your hopes up.
Honestly, for a beach/pier/jetty spot like Haulover, with this much onshore wind and such small, weak swell, it's looking more like a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one. The swell is just too small and the wind is too cross or onshore for any decent surf.
There isn't a single standout day in this 16-day window. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The best you could hope for is a brief moment of clean, glassy conditions on the morning of Friday the 17th, but with a wave height of 0.3 ft, it's a complete lake. The wind might be glassy, but you need waves to surf.
The only real positive is that Haulover is an inconsistent break, so a blank run like this, while frustrating, isn't unheard of. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't recommend paddling out.

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.
