The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real about this stretch.
We've got a long, dry spell ahead for this area. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's basically nothing doing for the paddle crew. The first nearly two weeks are a total write-off—tiny, weak, and messy. You're looking at a gap with no proper surf from now until around the 7th of September, which is over a week of nothing worth paddling out for.
The only flicker of life shows up on Monday morning, the 7th of September. We finally get a bit of energy, with a NE swell pushing through at 2 ft at 10 seconds. The water here is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year (87°F). The key is the wind: glassy conditions with a light northerly breeze. That will clean it right up at Haulover. It's a beach/pier/jetty setup that can be inconsistent and is fairly exposed. The combined swell energy is still weak (54), so we're not talking bombs, but for the first time in the outlook, it's surfable. It's perfect for beginners given the size, but the clean conditions are a genuine highlight after all this junk.
Beyond that single morning, it's back to tiny, onshore slop. The rest of the second week stays small and poor. Honestly, if the wind stays up and the swell stays this pathetic on the beach breaks, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
That Monday the 7th is really the only game in town. Get it while it's glassy.

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.
