The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. Haulover is your only option in the 16-day window, and it’s a real heartbreaker for a surfer. The whole stretch from Saturday, July 25th, all the way through to Sunday, August 9th, is a total flat spell with no real waves to get excited about.
We’re looking at tiny, weak surf. For the first week, you’re stuck with waves around 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely hitting double digits (15 or 17) – that’s essentially no energy at all. The water temp is a balmy 86°F, which is about average for the time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit, but you’ll need a lot of hope.
There are a few moments where the wind cleans up, like Sunday morning and Monday morning with some glassy or clean conditions, but it’s on waves that are barely ripples. On Thursday, July 30th afternoon, we get a fresh offshore wind from the west-southwest at 19 mph, cleaning the surface, but it’s still on 0.7 ft surf. It’s a tease.
As we roll into the second week, things get a little more lumpy but not for the better. From August 5th onward, the swell bumps up to 2 ft to 4 ft with a terrible period of 4 to 5 seconds – that’s pure windswell, all chop and no power. The combined energy climbs to 76, but it’s all cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, choppy mess. That setup at Haulover (a beach/pier/jetty) is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We have a few days with a bit more size, like August 6th and 7th, with 4 ft to 4 ft from the east-southeast, but the period is still short and the wind is onshore. It’s not beginner-friendly over 5 ft, but we don’t even get that high. For the experts, there’s nothing here over 8 ft anyway.
This is a blank run. It’s not unusual for the area when the swell just doesn’t show up. Don’t hang your hopes on it. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the car.
Stay thirsty.

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.
