The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Haulover.
Honestly, mate, the next 16 days are a total flat spell. There’s not a single session worth paddling out for. The whole window is filled with tiny, weak waves and messy wind, so don't bother waxing up just yet.
Starting from Saturday the 22nd of August, we’ve got nothing but poor surf conditions. Swell heights are stuck between 0.6 ft and 1 ft, with periods mostly around 4 to 9 seconds – that’s just wind slop with no push. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely scratching double digits (7 to 17 units). Wind is cross-onshore or onshore from the ESE and SE, so it’s choppy and bumpy all day. First break here is Haulover, a beach/pier/jetty setup that faces NNE, and with these tiny east-southeast swells, it’s not even showing. Inconsistent at the best of times, and this is not one of them.
Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th don’t get any better. Still 1.0 ft to 1 ft, period dropping to 4 seconds, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The energy figures are a joke (8 to 12). Tuesday the 25th through to the end of August sees a slight bump – swell heights hit 2 ft to 3 ft, with period still a short 4 to 5 seconds, but the combined energy creeps into the 30s and 50s at best (24 to 83). Still, with onshore wind from the E and ENE, it’s all bumpy crud. Haulover’s very exposed to the northerly elements, but none of that energy is coming from the right direction.
Into the first week of September, the pattern stays flat. Swell drops back to 0.6 ft to 2 ft, with period occasionally hitting 10 to 15 seconds, but that’s a long-period groundswell with almost no height – just a lumpy ocean. Energy levels are all below 30. Wind stays onshore or cross-onshore.
There is one brief flash on Saturday the 5th of September: a morning window with glassy conditions (SE 3 mph) and 2 ft swell from the ESE. Sounds clean, but the swell is still weak (energy 15) and period is only 4 seconds. Even with perfect wind, there’s nothing to ride. After that, it fades to nothing again on Sunday the 6th.
So the call is this: 16 days of near-zero surf. Haulover is rarely consistent anyway, so this blank run isn’t a huge surprise. For a beach break setup like this, with onshore wind and tiny swell, it’d be more interesting for a kite than a paddle. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change, but right now, don’t get your hopes up.
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.
