The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for Haulover. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in the first two weeks, nothing at all until we hit Monday the 14th of September. That’s a long, flat run, so don’t bother checking the cams until then.
We start with Sunday the 30th of August, and it’s a write-off. Tiny swell, barely 2ft at best, coming from the ESE with a shocking 4-second period. That’s just wind slop. On top of that, we’ve got cross-onshore winds keeping it choppy. It’s poor, and the combined energy is a weak 24. This is strictly a beach day for the towels, not the boards.
Monday the 31st through to Saturday the 12th of September is more of the same. The swell drops even further, mostly below 1ft, and the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore from the SE or E. The period is all over the place – sometimes a weak 4 seconds, occasionally an okay 8 or 12 seconds, but there’s just no size or power behind it. Energy values are pathetic, ranging from 5 to 64. We get a little bump in energy on Wednesday the 9th (102), but it’s still only 2ft and choppy. No bueno.
The only flicker of hope comes on Sunday the 13th of September. We see a tiny bump in size to 3ft from the NE, but the period drops back to a lousy 5 seconds. It’s still poor.
Then, finally, on Monday the 14th of September, we get a small window. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the ENE with a 5-second period. The combined energy is still low at 72, so it’s weak, but the wind swings offshore from the WSW. That’s the key – it’s glassy and clean. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 87°, so it’s comfortable. This is your only chance for a surfable wave. It’s not epic, but with clean conditions, you can get a few grovelly ones on a longboard. The afternoon gets a bit messier with stronger SSW winds, so make the most of that morning session.
So, the standout, if you can even call it that, is Monday morning, the 14th of September at Haulover. Swell is 4ft from the ENE, with light offshore wind. It’s your only shot. The rest of the 16 days? Leave the board at home. It’s a proper flat spell.
Stay patient, keep checking the charts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
