The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Straight talk: Haulover is flat as a board the whole 16 days. From Monday August 17th through Tuesday September 1st, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Monday morning gives us a sad 0.7ft east swell at 8 seconds, combined wave energy of (9). It’s clean with a light cross-off breeze, but you’d be floating on a lilo. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings stay at that 0.7ft with clean breezes, but the energy maxes at (13). Dismal.
Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd is more windswell – 0.7ft to 2ft – with onshore wind and chop. Sunday brings a risk of thunderstorms. Not one to call the crew about. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th see a tiny lift to 2ft to 2ft of south-east windswell, but it’s all onshore wind, wave energy barely hitting (27). That 15-second period pulse on Wednesday the 26th? Just 0.7ft – long period groundswell with no height, energy at (22). By the 27th we get a bit more energy (36) with 1ft from the east, but onshore winds kill it. Right through to the 1st of September, it’s 1ft to 2ft with cross and cross-on breeze, never a real wave. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
No standout day here. The only activity for the 2ft onshore days around the 24th would be kite surfing. Leave the surfboard at home, wait for something real. Forecasts could change, but this is a long dry spell.
Rusty.

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.
