The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through the next couple of weeks at Haggerty's (reef and point).
Right off the bat, we’ve got a flat start on Monday the 20th – tiny swell, nasty wind, and nothing worth paddling for. The water’s sitting at 72°, a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a real standout. Feels more like a tropical bath.
Tuesday the 21st morning is where things start looking up. A clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and moderate combined energy (484). The reef will turn that long-period swell into some proper lined-up waves. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s a good one for all levels. Tuesday afternoon turns choppy, so hit it early.
There’s a lull Wednesday and Thursday – small swell, messy wind. Then Friday the 24th morning delivers a beauty: a very long period SSW groundswell at 24 seconds, only 2ft of height but a strong combined energy of 705. Light offshore winds from the south make it glassy and clean. The reef will handle that long period perfectly, just expect big gaps between sets. That’s the standout of the whole outlook.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are marginal – still some long-period swell, but cross-on wind takes the shine off. Early mornings might offer a few.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th mornings are back to clean with 3ft SSW swell, cross-off winds, and moderate energy (659 and 498). Haggerty's is very consistent, so you’ll get waves. Crowds are often around, so expect company.
The first week of August fades out. By the 1st, we’re down to 1ft and weak energy (67), with messy winds. The 2nd sees a 3ft windswell from the west, but with a short 7-second period and cross-on wind – better for kiting than paddling. After that, it’s almost flat from the 3rd onward, with combined energy under 100 and poor conditions.
Best bet: Friday morning the 24th of July – that long-period groundswell with clean offshore winds is a real gem. Tuesday the 21st morning and Monday the 27th morning are your next best. After that, sit tight.
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.
