The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the Haggerty's area. First bit of good news ain’t until Sunday the 20th of September—more than a week out. Before that, it’s mostly small and ordinary.
The water temp is running a crazy 73°, almost 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll be in boardies.
Up to that point, there’s some clean but tiny surf. Saturday the 12th has a weak 2ft SW swell in the morning with a light cross-off breeze, but it’s barely got any grunt (161 combined energy). Afternoons get choppy. Sunday the 13th morning has a 3ft W windswell with a short 6-second period—weak energy (188) and just okay. Monday the 14th morning has offshore winds from the SE at 12 mph, cleaning up a 1ft SW swell—still tiny.
The first real standout is Sunday morning the 20th of September at Haggerty's. Clean 2ft SW swell with a long 18-second period—that’s proper groundswell. A reef and point setup like Haggerty's will love that. Winds are light cross-off from the SSE at 6 mph. Energy is strong (309). Crowds are often there, so be ready to share.
The best of the lot is Monday morning the 21st of September. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the SW, still a nice 17-second period. Energy is strong (384). Light cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, keeping the surface glassy. The swell direction matches the optimum (WNW) well. This is the one to aim for.
After that, it’s back to cross-on winds and choppy slop. Tuesday the 22nd has a clean morning but ordinary surf.
To sum it up: the first week and a half is a bust. Your two real shots are Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st of September. Go for Monday—it’s the bigger, cleaner session.
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.
