The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you – this is a rough stretch for Haulover. We’ve got a 16-day window here and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell stays tiny, the period is short, and the wind is almost always on it or cross-shore. Let’s walk through it.
Right now, Thursday morning, you’re looking at a weak 0.3ft of NE swell with a period of 8 seconds and barely any energy in the water (4). Light cross-onshore wind adds a bit of bump. It’s essentially flat. That theme carries through the whole first week – Thursday afternoon, Friday, the weekend… nothing changes. Swell heights creep up to maybe 3ft on Saturday morning with a 4-second period – that’s just wind chop with no push. The combined energy is still weak (32). And it’s messy.
We hit a 7-day gap here with no real surf. Monday the 17th has a glassy moment in the morning with a 0.7ft east swell, but it’s so small you’d be floating. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. Just flat and glassy. By Wednesday the 19th, we’re still on the same tiny east swell, cross-on winds, energy at 15. No dice.
Toward the end of the month, the swell tries to bump up a little. Monday the 25th and Tuesday the 26th show 2ft east-southeast swell, periods still short around 4–5 seconds, energy moderate at best (21–38). The morning of the 26th has a glassy moment with light offshore-ish wind from the ESE, but the swell is weak and poorly shaped. This is still a no-go for a proper surf.
The whole 16 days is a flat run. Haulover is a beach/pier/jetty spot that’s fairly exposed to swell, but it’s simply not getting any here. The water is about average for the time of year. The only thing worth noting is that the 26th morning has a glassy window, but with 2ft and a 7-second period, it’s a total non-event. Kite surfers might find something in the stronger wind afternoons, but for paddle surfing, there’s just nothing.

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.
