Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Haven over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s switch it up for the imperial crew. North Haven’s got a wild ride ahead, so let’s talk feet and knots.
Wednesday the 8th of July fires up with a solid 10-foot swell out of the SSE, period 11 seconds, and the wave energy is pumping (2140). Water temp’s about 67°F, right on average. Problem is, that’s way too big for this beach/breakwater – only for the brave and the stupid. Afternoon drops to 8 feet, still big and cross-off wind. Not beginner territory.
Thursday the 9th morning sees 8 feet from the SE, period 10 seconds, energy at 1132. Clean enough for experienced surfers, but still hefty. Afternoon eases to 6 feet, lighter wind.
Now, Friday the 10th of July morning is the gem: 6 feet of SE swell, period 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the SW at 6 mph. Clean, lined-up, moderate energy (750). This is the best session of the first week – friendly for strong intermediates and above.
Saturday and Sunday tank. Swell drops to 4 feet then 3 feet, with onshore junk. Three-day lull through Monday and Tuesday.
Then Thursday the 16th of July roars back: 8 feet from the south, period 12 seconds, energy at 1786, clean offshore wind. Expert-only. Afternoon goes nuts: 13 feet from the SSW, period 13 seconds, energy screaming at 7194. Too big for this break, but a sight to behold.
Saturday the 18th morning settles to 7 feet from the south, period 11 seconds, light offshore – excellent for the experienced. Sunday the 19th morning goes glassy with 5 feet of SSW swell – clean and fun for the intermediates. After that, it’s back to onshore mess.
Top pick: Friday the 10th of July morning – 6 feet, offshore, clean. Runner-up: Saturday the 18th morning for the big-wave crew.
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.
North Haven is 24 km (15 miles) from the city of Port Macquarie. If you plan a holiday in Port Macquarie, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Macquarie. Port Macquarie has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
