Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Haggerty's, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a slow start. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves. We’re looking at a solid 11-day gap before anything really worth paddling out for shows up. The swell is tiny, wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy is weak. The odd morning might offer a clean, glassy surface, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. The combined energy is stuck in the low hundreds for most of that time, which is a sure sign it’s flat or nearly flat.
Now, the real story begins around the 24th of July. We’ve got a couple of standout mornings that look promising. The first one is on Friday, July 24th (morning). The swell picks up to 2ft from the SSW, but the real kicker is the period—a meaty 24 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s bringing some serious energy, with a combined energy reading of 500 (moderate). The wind is light and offshore from the SE, which will keep the surface glassy and clean. For a reef and point setup like Haggerty's, this long-period swell is perfect—it’ll wrap in nicely and offer some proper lines. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Saturday, July 25th (morning) is another cracker. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SW, with a period of 21 seconds and a combined energy of 473. Again, the wind is offshore from the SSE, keeping things clean. This is your best bet for a solid session with decent shape and manageable crowds.
Sunday the 26th also shows some promise in the morning with 3ft from the SSW and a 20-second period, combined energy of 485, and light offshore winds. It’s a good run, but by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and chops it up.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother with the first 11 days unless you’re just looking for a float. The real action is on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of July, with Friday morning looking like the pick of the bunch. The swell is still small, so beginners can have a crack, but the long period means there’ll be proper energy in the water. Get on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Haggerty's Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Haggerty's provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Haggerty's can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Haggerty's surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Haggerty's) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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 Haggerty's 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
