North Haven Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Look, we've got a bit of a tale with North Haven over the next couple of weeks. This is a beach and breakwater setup, so it's exposed to the swell, but the size and the wind are going to be the big players. Water temp is sitting at 67°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real action is concentrated in the first week, with a couple of really solid swells. Monday the 7th kicks off with a clean 6ft S swell at 10 seconds. The combined energy (593) is moderate, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be a fun, user-friendly wave for the morning. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have a few mates out, but it's worth it. The morning is the pick, as the afternoon gets a bit messy.

Tuesday the 8th sees a jump in size. The morning has an 8ft S swell, and the energy is pumping hard (1146). That's getting into the territory where it's more for the experienced crew. The wind is still cross-off, so it'll be clean, but it's a step up in power. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 8ft, but still solid.

Wednesday the 9th is a real treat. The morning is glassy with a 6ft SSE swell. The energy is moderate (448), but with zero wind, the surface will be like a mirror. That's a standout morning for a smooth, clean session. The afternoon gets bumped up by a 12 mph S wind, so get out early.

Now, Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are for the big dogs only. Thursday is pumping 10ft S swell, with energy readings of 2180 and 1799. That's strong wave energy. The wind is favorable, but at that size, it's strictly for experts. Friday morning keeps the 10ft mark, but with a nice offshore wind, making it a proper heavy, clean wave. The energy is massive (3841). Friday afternoon drops back to 8ft, still a solid session.

Saturday the 12th afternoon is a good call for experienced surfers with a 7ft SSE swell and an 11-second period, giving it some long-period push. The energy (1052) is still strong, and the wind is cross-off, so it's a nice, powerful wave.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Sunday the 13th afternoon through to around Tuesday the 15th, the surf drops off significantly. Sunday afternoon is onshore junk, Monday is tiny, and Tuesday the 15th is a write-off with a 2ft S swell and a terrible 4-second NE windswell in the afternoon. That's a solid few days of flatness.

The next real standout is a bit of a wait. Wednesday the 16th morning brings back an 8ft S swell, 11-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (1480), and with no wind, it will be a clean, powerful set. That's your best bet for the second week, but it's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

After that, it's a mixed bag of small, weak swell and poor onshore winds through to the end of the forecast. The energy readings drop below 300, and the swell is mostly short-period junk. The 18th and 19th are particularly poor. There's a tiny window on the 21st with a glassy 4ft NE swell, but it's a weak, short-period thing, so don't get your hopes up.

Overall, the first week has the best of it, especially Monday the 7th morning and Wednesday the 9th morning. The second week is a gamble, with the 16th morning being the only real highlight.
