The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Haulover. We've got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about.
Right from the start on Monday, August 3rd, it's a write-off. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a shockingly short period of just 3 seconds. That's barely a ripple, and with a cross-onshore wind at 12 mph, it's just choppy and messy. The combined energy is a weak 13, and the water temperature is sitting at 87°F, which is about average for this time of year.
The whole first week is a total dud. Tuesday the 4th through to Sunday the 9th, we’re stuck with onshore or cross-onshore winds and swell heights that barely tickle the knee. The period stays short, mostly between 4 and 5 seconds, and the combined energy, while it climbs a little, never gets into decent territory. It's all "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0. Not a single window of opportunity.
The second week doesn't get much better. From Monday the 10th through to Sunday the 16th, it's the same story. The swell is small, the wind is never clean offshore, and the conditions are consistently poor. The energy figures bobble around in the low double-digits, with a few moments hitting the 30s and 40s, but it's all in the context of a weak, short-period, onshore wind swell. It's just not surfable.
The only tiny flicker of hope comes right at the very end of the outlook. On Tuesday the 18th of August, we see a shift. The swell direction turns to the NNE, and the period bumps up to 7 seconds. The swell is still small at 2ft, but the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-onshore. The combined energy hits 48, which is at least a bit more interesting. But even then, it's a "light cross-onshore with small wind ripples" situation. It's a maybe, for a longboard, on a good day, if you're desperate.
Honestly, for the next 16 days there isn't one standout. There's nothing here that a surfer would paddle out for. The setup is so poor for so long that if you're after a paddle, you might be better off looking at a kite for this stretch. The winds are consistent enough, but the waves are just not for us.
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.
