Table - best surf conditions forecast for Haulover over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window and, honestly, there's not a single session on the cards that I'd get out of bed for. The surf is flat, the wind is wrong, and it's a long stretch of nothing.
Let's look at Haulover. It's a beach/pier/jetty setup, facing NNE, but the swell we're seeing is tiny and all over the place. Right from the start, Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, we've got a weak 2 ft swell from the SE, but it's got a short, choppy period of only 5 seconds and a cross-onshore wind of 12 mph. The combined energy is a measly (34), meaning there's no power in the water. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing going for it.
This pattern of poor surf and moderate cross-onshore breezes just drags on. Day after day, we see the same story: tiny waves, weak energy, and messy wind. There's a glimmer of hope on the morning of July 19th, when the wind swings cross-offshore from the SW, cleaning things up, but the swell is still a pathetic 2 ft with a period of 4 seconds, and the energy is only (10). It's clean, but there's nothing to ride.
The rest of the forecast is more of the same—small, weak, and messy. We see a few more clean slots on the 20th and 21st, but the swell is still just a ripple. Nothing is above a 2 ft, and the periods are all short, so it's not going to wrap in with any shape. For a full 16 days, there's just no surfable wave. This is one of those blank runs that's normal for the area when the conditions line up wrong. Keep the board in the car, because the forecast can always change, but right now, it's a no-go.
Rusty.

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.
Haulover is 5 km (3 miles) from North Miami Beach. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in North Miami Beach. North Miami Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
