The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. I've scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim. There's a big, long gap of nothing good to start, so let's get into it.
The entire 16-day window is a total write-off for any decent surf. We're looking at a stretch where the conditions just refuse to line up. From the 8th of August right through to the 23rd of August, there isn't a single session I'd recommend paddling out for. That's over two weeks of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions.
The only spot on the radar is Haulover. It's a beach/pier/jetty setup, rated for beginners, but it's inconsistent and likely to be crowded. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The problem is the swell. The best we see is a weak 4 ft from the SE on the 15th of August, but the combined energy is a paltry 63 and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it a choppy mess. The rest of the time, we're looking at tiny, weak swells under 3 ft, often with short periods of 4-8 seconds, meaning no power or shape. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, from the ESE or SE, which just ruins any chance of a clean face.
Basically, if you're keen on a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple at Haulover on the 19th of August when the period stretches to 13 seconds, but the energy is still weak at 65 and the wind is light cross-onshore. It's not surf, it's a floating session. This is one of those times where the forecast is a blank run, and for this area, that's not unusual. It won't stay poor forever, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
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.
