Haga-Haga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Haga-Haga over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, it's a bit of a mixed bag to start. We're looking at a stretch of days where the wind and swell are just not seeing eye to eye. The first solid chance we get is a bit of a wait, and the conditions are gonna be a bit of a fight for the most part. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want an extra layer.

We kick things off on Tuesday the 8th with a 7ft swell from the ENE, but it's got a short period of 8 seconds and a cross-shore wind that's gonna put a bit of a chop on the surface. The combined energy is moderate (850). It's not gonna be a classic.

Wednesday the 9th morning is a little better. The swell is a touch bigger at 8ft from the ENE, and the wind is lighter, but still cross. The energy is ramping up to a solid 1397, but the quality is still a bit off. It's a "wait and see" kind of morning. The afternoon goes downhill with the wind turning more onshore.

Thursday the 10th is a write-off with a strong cross-onshore wind and a dropping swell. Friday the 11th brings a totally different swell from the SW, but it's small at 4ft. The period is a long 14 seconds, which is classic groundswell, but the cross-onshore wind is ruining it. Saturday the 12th is a mess with strong winds and a short-period windswell.

Now, Sunday the 13th is where things get a bit more interesting. The morning session has a 5ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a massive 16 seconds. That's a lot of energy (1744) and it's a groundswell, which is great for the reef and point set-up here. The wind is cross, so it won't be glassy, but it's a step in the right direction.

The next week is a bit of a rollercoaster. Monday the 14th sees a jump in size to 10ft from the E, but with a fresh cross-shore wind and a short period, it's going to be lumpy and a handful. That's expert territory for sure. The next few days are a mix of onshore winds and messy swells.

But hold on to your boards, because the real standout is shaping up for the 21st of September. Monday the 21st has a massive 8ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 20 seconds. That is a very long period groundswell, and the energy reading is a massive 6229. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is a bit of a shame, but the power is undeniable. The afternoon gets even better. The swell hits 10ft from the SSW and the wind drops to almost nothing, just a light breeze. The energy is a staggering 6560. This is a strong, powerful groundswell that will be absolutely pumping along the reef and point. It's a long-range call, so it's a bit uncertain, but it's the one to circle on the calendar.

After that, the swell starts to ease off a bit through the 22nd, with a 6ft SSW swell and a clean cross-shore wind. It's a solid option, but not the standout.

So, if you're picking your days, the 21st of September is the one to get excited about. That big, powerful SSW groundswell with near-perfect wind is the best on offer by a long shot. The 13th and 22nd are solid backup days, but the 21st is the real deal. A bit of a slow start, but the second week has a cracker.

Rusty.
