The Lowdown
Alright, I'm Rusty, and I've been watchin' this spot for a long time, so believe me when I say it's lookin' grim.
We are lookin' at a long, dry spell. There's a real gap here, almost a full week with nothin' worth your time. From Monday the 10th all the way through to Saturday the 15th, it's a bust at Haulover. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is mostly blowin' cross-on or onshore, choppin' up what little bump there is. On the 10th, Monday, we had 3 ft from the ESE at a weak 4-second period, with combined swell energy of 32 (32 J/m²). It's pathetic. If you're a kite surfer, maybe those breezy afternoons look interesting, but for paddlin' in, you’re better off stayin' home.
Then, we get a couple of mornings that are glassy but still tiny. On Monday the 17th, the wind goes light and glassy, and the swell swings around to the NNE, which is what this break likes. But it's only 1.0 ft with a 9-second period. The energy is a weak 27 (27 J/m²). Clean as a whistle, but there's simply not enough water to push a surfer.
Tuesday the 18th morning is another glassy session, with a very long 15-second period swell, but it’s even smaller at 0.7 ft. The combined energy is still just 37 (37 J/m²). That long period will just make it wash through on a beach break.
The rest of the second week – from the 20th to the 25th – is more of the same: tiny waves, cross-shore or onshore winds, and nothin' but frustration. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
Honestly, there is no standout here. If I had to pick a moment, it’s the glassy Monday morning on the 17th, but that's only if you're on a longboard and you've got nothin' else to do. This is a perfect time to get your gear ready for when it actually turns on.

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.
