Haga-Haga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks start off with a bit of a wait, but there’s some real promise hanging out there if you’re patient.

The forecast starts with a bit of a slow roll. The first few days, from Friday the 10th to the start of the following week, there’s some solid swell but the conditions are messy. It’s a real shame because the swell energy is there – we’re talking a strong 10ft SSW swell with a combined energy of 3913 early on Friday, but the wind is cross and it’s just not cleaning up. You’ll be fighting a bit of chop and cross-shore wind. Not the kind of session you’ll be telling your mates about.

Saturday the 11th sees a bit of a drop in size to 8ft, still from the SSW, but the wind swings onshore and we get rain. The energy is still decent (2274), but the quality is lacking. It stays like this through Sunday and into Monday, with the swell dropping and the wind all over the shop. By Sunday arvo, it’s only 5ft and pretty choppy. The middle of the week, from the 14th to the 16th, is more of the same – small, cross-shore winds, and nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping. There’s a bit of a lull here, a few days of just average, uninspiring surf.

Now, look, the standout window is shaping up around Thursday the 23rd. That morning, the stars align. The wind is glassy at Haga-Haga, a light ESE breeze, and we’ve got a 5ft SW swell with a moderate 11-second period. The combined energy is a solid 1137. The report says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers,” and that’s the call. The swell is a bit over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, but for the rest of you, this is the session to circle. The conditions are going to be clean, glassy, and the reef and point setup at Haga-Haga will handle the SW swell nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The week before that, on Friday the 17th, we get a bit of a tease. A 3ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore wind from the west. The report says “clean,” and the energy is moderate (691). It’s a small day, but it could be a fun little session if you’re desperate. Nothing to rave about, but a chance to get wet.

Then, after the 23rd, the size builds again. Friday the 24th has a 4ft SW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross. Not as good. Then, on Saturday the 25th, the swell jumps right up to 10ft from the SW, with a very long 17-second period and a massive combined energy of 5088. That’s a lot of water moving. But the wind is cross, and the report says “marginal.” For the experts, on a good tide, this could be a big, clean-looking wave, but that cross-shore wind will spoil it. Keep an eye on it, but don’t bet the house on it.

Standout: Thursday the 23rd morning. Glassy, clean, 5ft SW swell. That’s the one.

Alright, Rusty out.
