The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for any real surfing. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy waves ahead. The swell energy is just not there, with values mostly in the low double digits – that’s weak energy for you. It’s going to be a test of patience, not a test of your paddling arms.
We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf right through the first week. The waves are tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever little bumps are out there. From the 8th through the 14th, you’re looking at ankle-biters and closeouts. There might be a glimmer on the 9th with a swell up to 2.3ft from the NNE, but it’s still onshore wind and messy. It’s just not worth getting excited about.
The water temp is sitting at 87.3°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s nice for a swim, but it doesn’t help the surf.
Now, looking further ahead, there is a tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Around the 22nd of September, we finally see a change in the wind. Tuesday morning sees a cross-offshore breeze from the NW, setting up some cleaner conditions with that small 2.6ft E swell. The energy is still weak at 31, but at least it won't be a complete washing machine. Then, Tuesday afternoon we get some glassy conditions with a light SW breeze. That’s our best chance for the whole period. It’s still small, around 2.6ft, but it’ll be the cleanest surf we see.
The standout, such as it is, is Haulover. It’s an inconsistent spot, and this forecast is definitely living up to that. When those winds go offshore or glassy on the 22nd and 23rd, it might just offer up a few fun, clean lines on the low tide. It won't be big, but it's the only window we have. This is a long-range call, so don't book your flights just yet, but it's promising. The swell direction is from the E, but Haulover’s optimum is NNE, so it’s not perfect.
Don't expect any miracles. This is a flat spell. If you're desperate, the 22nd might be your only worthwhile paddle. Otherwise, it might be time to check the forecast for your next trip.

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.
