The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you how it is for our local stretch over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a tough one. The data shows we're in for a long, quiet spell with hardly any surf to get excited about. The waves just aren't showing up.
We're looking at a major gap in surfable conditions. From now until the 22nd of August, it's a pretty bleak picture. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore for almost the entire period, making for poor, choppy surf. You'd be wasting your energy paddling out. The combined swell energy barely breaks into double digits for most of that time, sitting in the weak range.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, is on the morning of Friday, the 21st of August. The wind is forecast to go glassy, dead calm. The swell won't be anything to write home about, just a tiny 1.0ft from the east, but those glassy conditions will make it look a hundred times better than anything else we've seen. For that one morning, the break is at Haulover. It’s a beginner spot, but it's also inconsistent and exposed to the east. With that tiny, clean swell, it'll be a fun little wave for a learner or someone on a longboard. The water temp is about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The crowd might be a factor though, as it can get busy, but for a 1.0ft wave, it might just be the locals enjoying the peace.
After that, the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of August offers a bit of hope with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is even smaller, down to 0.7ft, so it's not really worth a trip. We're in a proper flat spell here, folks.
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.
