The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead on the Outer Banks for the next two and a half weeks. There’s just no surf on the cards worth paddling out for from now until the end of the first week. We’re looking at a solid gap of zero recommendations right through.
We start off on Wednesday the 9th with Haulover (beach/pier/jetty). The water’s a touch warmer than average for this time of year at 87°. Swell is a tiny 2 ft from the NNE at 8 seconds, putting out a weak 68 combined energy. And to make matters worse, we’ve got a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind from the east at 9 mph. It’s poor, flat, and messy.
That same story drags through Thursday the 10th and right into the weekend. The swell stays small – between 0.7 ft and 2 ft – with weak energy readings barely hitting double digits. Winds hang in from the east and southeast, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and unrideable. We get a bit of a bump on Monday the 21st morning where the swell pops to 4 ft from the NNE at 9 seconds, and energy climbs to a moderate 203. But it’s still classed as poor surf with onshore ESE winds at 16 mph, so not worth the drive.
The best chance in the whole window lands on Monday the 21st afternoon and into Tuesday the 22nd. Swell holds at 4 ft to 4 ft from the NNE, period stretches to 9-10 seconds, and energy peaks at a solid 450. That’s moderate-to-strong energy. Unfortunately, the wind still messes it up – cross-onshore from the SE at 12-16 mph – so it stays poor quality. It’s a reminder that even when the ocean sends us something, the wind gods aren’t cooperating.
Overall, there’s no standout session here. We keep this spot inconsistent anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t a total shock. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it never stays flat forever.
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.
