The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way.
First up, I gotta be straight with you—this is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t playing ball. For the next 16 days, we’re looking at a real dry spell. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, and every single window I’ve checked shows poor surf conditions right through. It’s a long gap with nothing to recommend, which can happen in this area when the swell just doesn’t line up.
Let’s talk specifics at Haulover. It’s a beach/pier/jetty setup, beginner-friendly, but the problem is we’ve got almost no energy. The best of a bad bunch comes around Wednesday the 9th of September in the morning and afternoon, with a tiny 2ft swell sneaking in from the NNE. The period is a weak 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, nothing to write home about. The combined energy is still low at 62–63, so it’s pretty feeble. On the plus side, you’ve got some light glassy and gentle breeze conditions early on Wednesday the 2nd of September, when the wind is SSW at just 3 mph, but the swell is only 1ft and the energy is barely 39. That’s a morning for a longboard or a paddle, not a proper surf.
Water temperature on that first Wednesday morning is sitting at 87°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for the time of year—a nice touch if you’re in for a swim, not that the waves will get you excited.
Honestly, for most of this outlook, the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the swell is too small and weak to even call it a wave. There’s nothing that stands out as a real session. If you’re desperate, the morning of Wednesday the 9th with that 2ft NNE swell and light onshore wind might give you a few knee-high dribblers, but I wouldn’t clear your schedule.
So yeah, it’s a blank run. The ocean’s on holiday. Keep an eye on the charts—things can change quick, but for now, it’s a stretch of flatness. Stay tuned, and I’ll be back when there’s something to chase.
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.
Haulover is 5 km (3 miles) from North Miami Beach. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in North Miami Beach. North Miami Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
