The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell here for Haulover. We’re looking at a run of tiny, weak surf that really doesn’t offer much for a paddle out. The first proper sign of any swell doesn't show up until the very end of the month, and even that is nothing to write home about.
The whole 16-day window is pretty grim. From Friday, August 21st, right through to the end of the month, we’ve got nothing but small, poor quality waves. The real problem is the wind. It’s coming from the SSE to ESE pretty much the whole time, which means it’s cross-onshore or straight onshore for Haulover. That makes for choppy, messy conditions. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly sitting between 4 and 29, which is practically nothing. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s barely showing a pulse. For a beginner spot, this would be a week to find something else to do, as you'd be battling crumble and chop.
The only time the swell height creeps up is around Monday, August 31st. We might see a bit of energy bump up to 4ft on the Monday morning and 4ft by the afternoon, coming from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy finally gets into double digits, hitting 66 to 93 (weak/moderate). It’s still poor surf conditions though, and the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore. It’s a little chunky for a beginner but might give a more experienced surfer something small and grovelly to push on. The best window looks like Monday the 31st afternoon, with a light breeze creating just small wind ripples, but it’s still a cross-on shore, so don't expect any real shape.
After that tiny pulse, the swell drops right back off into the first week of September, with heights falling to 0.7ft, a long period from the E (10-13 seconds), but the winds stay onshore and the energy is back in the single digits. The long period will make what little waves there are close out straight. Honestly, for a beach/pier/jetty setup like this with that much onshore wind, the whole window looks more suited to kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
It’s a lean stretch, but that’s Haulover for you. Forecasts can change, but for now, don't rush down.
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.
