Good sandbars can form around the jetties and the pier. Lefts and rights along this stretch take N/NE swells and SE windchop and prefer lower tides. From here south into Miami, the beachbreaks become pretty marginal and most Lauderdale surfers drive to get their waves.
Consistency is a problem in the Lauderdale area, yet Haulover is consistently crowded. Maybe it's so popular because of the flexible dress code adopted by some of the beachgoers here.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
