The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks at Haulover beach. Lookin’ at the charts, it’s a pretty grim stretch for anyone wanting to paddle out. The spot is a beach/pier/jetty setup, and it’s rarely consistent, which is exactly what we’re seeing here. We’re in for a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about.
Right off the bat, from Friday the 24th of July, we’ve got tiny swell – we’re talking 1.0 ft from the east. The wind is a cross-on mess, and the energy is weak, so it’s a total non-starter. That whole first weekend and into the week stays flat, with swell maxing out at a pathetic 1.0 ft, and the wind bouncing around. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’s warm if you want a float, but there’s no surf.
The situation doesn’t improve as we roll into the first week of August. We see a few mornings with clean conditions and a light offshore wind, but the swell is basically non-existent, hovering around 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy is laughably low. There’s just no push in the water.
The only real, and I mean real, blip on the radar comes way out on the 8th of August, a Saturday. We get a tiny bump up to 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 5 seconds. The energy climbs a little, but it’s still weak. The downside? That wind is straight onshore. That combination of a weak, short-period swell and onshore wind is just going to make for junky, blown-out little waves. Honestly, for a beach break like this, with that strong onshore wind, it looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone on a paddle board.
So, what’s the best on offer? There isn’t one. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area. No standouts, no hidden gems. Just a whole lot of nothing for 16 days. Keep the board in the car, but 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.
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.
