The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Haulover.
Right now, we’ve got a pretty grim stretch ahead. From August 28th all the way through to the morning of September 12th, it’s one poor report after another. That’s a long, flat, and messy run. We’re looking at tiny swell – mostly under 2.3ft – with onshore winds and a lot of chop. The odd bit of energy pops up on September 5th with a NE swell hitting 3.6ft and combined energy of 143 (moderate wave energy), but even that comes with onshore winds and poor surf conditions. There’s just no quality on offer. The water temp is sitting at 87.4°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The one glimmer in all this is the morning of September 12th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the closest we get to something you’d paddle out for. The wind goes glassy – offshore from the SW at just 3 mph – and the swell picks up to 3.0ft from the ENE, period of 5 seconds. It’s a short-period, weak energy (combined energy of 78) setup, so not powerful, but with clean, glassy conditions, it’ll be the most user-friendly wave of the whole period. The break here is a beach/pier/jetty (Haulover), inconsistent, and crowds are often an issue, so get there early if you want a peak to yourself.
Beyond that morning, the afternoon of the 12th goes back to onshore slop. If you’re looking for a stand-out, that Saturday morning is your only real bet. Everything else is a hard pass.

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.
