The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty checking in. Let's be straight up about what we're looking at in this stretch. We've got a real quiet spell on our hands for the next couple of weeks.
The whole forecast window is pretty much a bust for any decent waves. From now through to the end of the 16-day run, every single day is served up as poor surf conditions. That's a rough stretch.
Looking at the details, the first recommendation doesn't even pop up until Monday the 27th of July, but even then it's a no-go. We're talking tiny swell, barely 0.7 ft from the east with a short 8-second period, and the wave energy is weak as dishwater. This limp pattern sticks around through the end of the month.
Towards the end of the first week and into August, the swell tries to get a little bigger, occasionally hitting 2.3 ft to 3.0 ft, but it's coming from the south and southeast with periods as short as 3 or 4 seconds. That’s almost pure wind-chop, not surf. The combined energy does bump into the lower double digits, but with winds mostly blowing cross-on or onshore, it's all just messy and blown out.
If I'm being honest, the only break on the radar is Haulover. It's a beach and pier setup that's inconsistent and often crowded. For the entire 16-day window, there is not a single moment that looks worth paddling out. The wind is never truly offshore; it's either cross-off or cross-on, and often onshore. Even the water temp is about normal for this time of year at 86.5°F.
This is one of those periods where you just leave the board in the car and find something else to do. The forecasts can change, but right now it's a flat, blown-out blank. Sorry, folks.

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.
