The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the beach. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Haga-Haga.
Okay, so the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there is some light at the end of the tunnel. The whole picture gets going from Saturday the 12th, but honestly, the first few days are a write-off. We’ve got a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind from the ENE blowing through, making a mess of things. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th are just poor. Choppy, lumpy, cross-onshore junk. On Sunday morning, there’s even a risk of thunderstorms to add to the misery. The swell is there, but it’s just a washing machine.
We finally get a bit of a window on Tuesday morning, the 15th. A clean, cross-offshore breeze from the West is a welcome change. The swell is a solid 7ft from the ENE, but with a period of 10 seconds, it’s got a bit of shape. The wave energy is moderate (1104). This is looking like the best session of the whole run for the experienced crew – that’s a bit too much juice for beginners.
After that, it gets messy again. We get a few glimmers, like Sunday afternoon the 20th, where the wind goes glassy. The swell is a smaller 4ft from the SW with a long 13-second period. That’s got point break written all over it for Haga-Haga’s reef and point setup. It’s a small day, but if you’ve got a log, that glassy water will be worth the paddle.
The standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is that Tuesday morning the 15th. Clean 7ft swell with a nice cross-offshore breeze. Haga-Haga is an inconsistent spot, but when it lines up like that, it’s special. The break takes swell from the SE best, and this ENE swell at 7ft should wrap in nicely. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get out early.
Later in the second week, things get dicey. Bigger swells roll in but with dirty wind. Thursday the 24th has a massive 8ft SSW swell (strong energy, 2979), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, making it a beast only for experts, if anyone. That kind of size and wind might honestly look better for a kite session than a paddle.
So, to wrap it up: ride the small, glassy window on the 20th if you're keen for a cruise, but the real call is dawn patrol on Tuesday the 15th for the best waves of the period.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Haga-Haga may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
