The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a quiet picture overall, so we're going to be patient.
First thing to note: water temps are about average for the time of year, which is nice for those dawn patrols.
Right now and for the next ten days or so, it's basically flat. Haulover is seeing tiny, weak, and mostly onshore junk. We're talking waves from 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft with virtually no energy (combined energy 9 to 16). Winds are chopping it up, so there's just nothing to get excited about. This is a solid gap of poor conditions, a real dry spell.
There is one promising window, but it's a long way off. Things start to look different around the 26th of September. That Saturday morning, a proper swell tries to push in, with a clean 5 ft of swell from the NNE at a nice long 11-second interval. The combined energy jumps right up to 581 (moderate energy), and with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze, the conditions will be clean. This is the standout of the entire outlook. It's an expert-level wave at that size, but for the experienced crew, this is the one to circle.
The following day, the 27th of September, the swell holds at 5 ft from the NE, though the period drops to 8 seconds. Still, with clear skies and a light NNW cross-offshore wind in the morning, it'll be clean and rideable. It’s a good follow-up session, but the Saturday morning is the real target.
Beyond that, the surf drops off again into poor, onshore slop as we head into the end of the month. So, the takeaway: a long wait for a short, punchy window of quality. Keep your eyes on that Saturday the 26th.

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.
