The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get this straight: the next 16 days at Haulover are a dead loss for a proper paddle. There’s just nothing on offer, and I’ll tell you why.
Starting from now, right through to the end of the month, the surf is a total write-off. We’re looking at a solid blank stretch from July 17th right through to August 1st. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess, and the combined energy figures just confirm it – we’re talking weak, anemic numbers like 18 or 20 (combined energy of all swells directed here), barely a ripple. The swell is coming from the SSE or SE, with punchy periods of 4 seconds, which is just pure wind chop. It’s not a surfable wave.
The water is a warm 87°F on the 17th, about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a nice bath, but that’s all the good news. The wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore, mostly a moderate breeze, making the surface choppy and lumpy. It’s messy, it’s small, and it’s not worth getting wet for a paddle. On the rare occasion you get a light offshore, like on the morning of August 1st, the swell is still just 2ft from the SE with a 4-second period from the SW – the swell direction is all wrong for the optimum NNE direction. The combined energy is still only 22. It’s a clean, tiny, gutless wave.
Don’t bother with the board. The whole 16-day window is a total flat spell. For a beach/pier/jetty setup like this, with inconsistent breaks and a strong cross-shore wind, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The swell is too small, the wind is too messy, and the forecast is locked in. It’s a frustrating run, but around here, a blank period like this isn’t unusual. The ocean will turn it around eventually, but not in this window.
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.
