The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a dud. We've got a long stretch of nothing much happening, so let's dig into it.
Right from the start, things are looking pretty grim. We kick off on Monday, August 31st, with a tiny 1.0ft swell from the east, but it's got a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-on from the ESE. That's not going to do anything for us. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing. The wave energy is weak at just 15 (combined energy of all swells directed here). This pattern sticks around for days. We're looking at a solid gap with no real surf to speak of right through until the end of the first week of September.
The only glimmer of hope shows up later, on Thursday, September 10th, in the morning. Haulover is a beach/pier/jetty setup, and it's inconsistent. But, for a brief moment, we get a 2ft swell from the NNE with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the ESE. That's a major positive – clean conditions. The wave energy is moderate at 102 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It's surfable, but very ordinary. Still, if you're desperate, that's your best bet in the whole 16-day window. It's worth noting that Haulover is fairly exposed, but the optimum swell direction is NNE, so this is a good match.
After that, it's back to nothing. The rest of the run is all tiny, weak swells with poor winds. There's nothing else to get excited about. For a spot that's only inconsistent at best, a blank run like this isn't too unusual for the area.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, but for now, don't hold your breath.
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.
