North Haven Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for North Haven over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid stretch of surf starting Thursday the 30th of July. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real quality tucked in there. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The morning of Thursday the 30th kicks things off with a clean 5ft of swell from the S, with a nice 12-second period pushing a moderate amount of energy (625). The wind is light offshore from the SW, so it’s going to be glassy and clean – perfect for the beginners this spot is known for. Thursday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 7ft from the S, but the wind swings cross-offshore and the period drops to 10 seconds. It’s still clean, but a bit more jumbled.

Friday the 31st, another good morning. Swell is 6ft from the S, 11-second period, and light offshore wind again. Clean lines, moderate energy (813). The afternoon sees the wind pick up a bit from the SSW, making it cross-off, but still surfable.

Saturday the 1st of August holds steady. Morning has 6ft of S swell with a light offshore breeze, some clouds overhead but clean. The afternoon drops to a 6ft SSE swell, but the wind goes light cross-off, and the energy is still healthy (744). Not a standout, but a solid day.

Now, here’s the one to circle. Sunday the 2nd of August is the standout of the first week. The morning is glassy as can be – zero wind, pristine conditions. Swell is a clean 7ft from the SSE, with a long 12-second period. The energy is strong (1115). This is excellent for experienced surfers. The break is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting around. Just be aware that the long period can make it a bit straight at a beach setup, but North Haven handles it. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so it’s not a madhouse, but you might have some company.

The surf drops off from Monday the 3rd through Tuesday the 4th. Monday morning you’ve got 5ft of SE swell, but it’s cross-on and messy. Tuesday is tiny – 1ft and 3ft – barely worth a paddle. This is a real lull, so don’t bother.

Things pick back up Wednesday the 5th. Morning delivers 5ft of SSW swell, 8-second period, light offshore wind. It’s clean and fun, with moderate energy (607). The afternoon is similar but with a better 10-second period from the S.

Thursday the 6th of August is another big one. The morning brings a solid 8ft of S swell, 10-second period, and a light offshore breeze. The energy is very strong (2159). This is for experienced surfers only – it’ll be too big for beginners. The afternoon drops to 7ft, wind picks up, but still clean.

The rest of that week fades. Friday the 7th has a moderate 6ft with offshore wind, but it’s a bit wind-affected. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are smaller and windier, with the swell dropping to 4ft and 2ft. The second week, from the 10th of August onward, is a real mixed bag of small, clean days and occasional bigger pulses. The mornings of the 12th and 13th of August look promising.

Wednesday the 13th of August morning is a standout. Solid 8ft of S swell, 9-second period, moderate offshore wind. The energy is strong (1147). This is excellent for experienced surfers again. Clean, powerful, and consistent.

Thursday the 14th of August morning is a bit of a wild card. The forecast shows a 10ft S swell, but it’s flagged as potentially too big for this break. There’s a glassy wind from the NW, but the energy is massive (1914). If you’re an expert and you’re comfortable with overhead, heaving surf, it’s worth a look. But honestly, for most, it’s going to be a close-out.

Overall, the best bets are the glassy morning of Sunday the 2nd of August for a clean, powerful session, and the morning of Thursday the 6th of August for a bigger, more challenging wave. The second week’s standout is the morning of Wednesday the 13th of August.

Rusty.
