The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’m looking at the next 16 days, and I gotta be honest: there’s nothing to get excited about. From July 15th all the way through July 30th, it’s a flat, dead stretch. If you’re waiting for a wave, you’re in for a long wait.
The only spot on the map is Haulover, a beach/pier/jetty that’s more of a beginner spot. It’s inconsistent here, and that’s the truth. The water’s warm at 87°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good news. The combined swell energy is weak across the whole period. The first Wednesday morning barely hits 22 (moderate energy), and then it just dies. Most days the energy is between 4 and 30, which is just nothing.
The first few days, from July 15th to the 17th, we’ve got tiny 0.7ft to 1ft slop from the NE, with a short period of 7-8 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, just chopping it all up. There’s a moment on Thursday morning, July 16th, where it goes glassy, but with only 1.0ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s still a bathtub. Then by Friday afternoon, July 17th, the wind picks up to 19 mph, and the swell jumps to 3ft, but it’s from the SSE with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s pure wind-slop, and with a fresh cross-onshore, it’s lumpy and horrible. With that wind and those tiny waves, you’d be better off on a kite.
The rest of the week and into the second week is more of the same. Tiny 0.3ft to 2ft dribble, almost always with a cross-onshore breeze. The wind is a mess of choppy, lumpy, and unknown. The cleanest moments come on the mornings of July 28th, 29th, and 30th, when a light offshore or cross-off wind shows up, but it’s on waves that are 0.7ft to 2ft and weak. The swell energy on July 28th afternoon hits 30, the highest we see, but it’s from the SSE with a 4-second period.
This is just a run of flat days for this area. It’s not unusual for Haulover to go quiet, but it’s a tough stretch. Don’t get your hopes up; forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to ride.
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.
