The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk waves. It’s been a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, but there’s some fun stuff coming if you’re patient. The first few days are pretty poor. Saturday the 8th is small and weak with barely any energy, around 87, and a bit of a sideshore wind making it messy. Sunday and Monday are bigger but still junky, with the wind blowing onshore and chopping everything up. Not worth the effort.
But things start to turn around Thursday the 13th. The swell kicks up over 6 feet, and we finally get a clean offshore breeze. The energy jumps to 550, and the surf looks proper. Friday keeps that going with some solid chest-high waves and clean conditions in the morning. Good signs.
Saturday the 15th is the pick of the first week. It’s not the biggest, maybe 4 feet, but the wind is offshore and light, the break is super consistent, and the vibe is clean. It’s a perfect day for a log and just cruising into some fun ones.
Looking into the second week, we got a few more windows. The afternoon of Monday the 17th looks glassy with some good 5-foot waves. Tuesday the 18th and Thursday the 20th also have glassy mornings. But the one to circle is Saturday the 22nd. We’re looking at a long-period, 5-6 foot swell with clean conditions and strong energy at 588. It’s a ways out, so don’t book your flights yet, but it’s got some potential to be the best of the run.
The water temp is pretty standard for this time of year.
That’s the rundown. Keep an eye on that forecast.
Rusty out.

Information about the North Haven Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for North Haven provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at North Haven can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our North Haven 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 (North Haven) 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 North Haven 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.
