Haga-Haga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a messy, cross-shore wind pattern and a lumpy, choppy ocean that’s just not gonna give you anything worth paddling out for. The swell’s there, but it’s short-period and bumpy. You’re better off waiting.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the north, and the sea cleans right up. We’re looking at a clean, 4.9ft swell rolling in from the east with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate, sitting at 636. It’s not going to be massive, but it’ll be fun and clean for a session. The water temp is sitting at 69.3°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.

The absolute standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, lands on Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. The stars align. We’ve got a glassy, dead-calm morning with a long-period 4.6ft groundswell from the SSW, pushing a period of 13 seconds. The energy reading is a solid 1434. Because this is a reef and point set-up, that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, giving you clean, lined-up walls. The forecast says excellent conditions for experienced surfers, and that’s exactly what it’ll be. The crowd situation is a ‘sometimes’ thing, so you might have a few locals out, but it’s worth it.

Then, just to keep the stoke going, the following morning – Wednesday the 12th of August – we get a moderate offshore wind from the WNW, with a 7.9ft swell from the ENE. Now, 7.9ft is a bit of a handful – it’s solidly in the ‘experienced only’ territory. But it’s clean, it’s offshore, and the energy is pumping at 1171. If you’ve got the skills, this is a proper session.

The very end of the window, on Friday the 14th of August, offers a clean morning with a 5.9ft swell from the ENE, but it’s a lighter option compared to the earlier standouts.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a waiting game. The real magic is the glassy morning on the 11th of August, with the big, clean offshore day on the 12th as a close second. Go get it.
