About this Spot

Haulover Inlet North Side is a surf spot located in Atlantic Coast, Florida. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s situated near the cities of Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles in Miami-Dade County. The surf break is characterized by a sandy bottom and works best during low and medium tides. Wave length is typically less than 50 meters. This spot sometimes breaks and is suitable for surfers of all experience levels. The crowd is usually sparse, with few surfers in the lineup. When planning your surf session, check the surf forecast and report to ensure optimal conditions. Haulover Inlet North Side is part of a man-made channel completed in 1925, connecting Biscayne Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. Be aware of potential hazards such as rips, undertow, and rocks. Exercise caution when paddling past the jetty, as the incoming tide may pull you into the inlet. If this happens, let it carry you in before attempting to climb the rocks. The spot can get busy on weekends with swimmers and beachgoers, so be mindful of your surroundings. Showers are available on the right as you exit facing north. To reach the spot, drive on A1A. If heading south, turn right at the kite shop and go under the bridge. If driving north, turn right into the park after the bridge. Be cautious of speed limits to avoid fines. Parking on the south side can be expensive, so plan accordingly. Remember to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette, especially when the spot is crowded. Check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Nearby surf spots include Harbor House, Dunes Motel, South Beach, and Dania Beach.
