The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta tell ya, the next 16 days are looking like a total washout for surf. There’s a massive dry spell with almost nothing but tiny, choppy, onshore junk. The combined swell energy is in the toilet, with values like 16 (weak) for Saturday the 12th, and it barely budges.
Starting from Saturday the 12th right through the following week, it’s all small slop. Swell from the ESE at 1 feet, periods around 4 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not surf. The wind is cross-on or onshore most of the time, with gusts hitting 19 mph on Wednesday the 16th. Makes for a lumpy, messy scene at Haulover (beach/pier/jetty). Water temp is about average for the season, nothing remarkable.
There’s a massive gap of over a week with zero decent surf. From Saturday the 12th to about Wednesday the 24th, every session is rated "poor surf conditions". That’s 11 days of basically nothing.
Things get a tiny bit interesting around Thursday the 24th. Morning brings a 2 foot swell from the NNE with a period of 10 seconds, so it’s a little more groundswell. The combined energy is 93 (still weak to moderate, low end). Wind is light and cross-off in the morning, then goes glassy in the afternoon. Clean conditions, but the waves are still very ordinary. This is your best bet for the whole stretch, but only if you’re really itching for a clean but weak session.
There are a few offshore windows, like Monday the 21st with WSW winds at 12 mph, but the swell is tiny (1 feet from NE) and the period is short (7 seconds). It’s clean but not breaking.
Honestly, this is a bleak outlook. The only half-decent window is Thursday the 24th with that glassy afternoon on the 2 foot NNE swell. But that’s it. For kite surfers, the windier days might offer some fun, but for paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting for the next system.

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.
