The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Haggerty’s has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's looking pretty bleak for a while. The forecast is basically a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf with a lot of cross-onshore wind.
Right now and for the rest of August, we’re looking at tiny waves. The swell is stubbornly small, generally around 1ft to 2ft from the SSW or SW, and the wind is never really in our favour. The wave energy is weak too, mostly hovering between 100 and 200 in the energy readings. Tuesday the 18th morning, the water is sitting at a warm 70°, which is a solid 4° warmer than average – a nice surprise if you were planning a dip, but the waves are just not there.
We see a few mornings that clean up a bit – Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st have a light cross-off breeze that leaves the surface looking tidy, but don't get your hopes up. The swell is only 1ft to 2ft with a long period around 13 to 14 seconds. This means the sets will be few and far between. For a reef and point like Haggerty’s, that long period groundswell could actually suit it, but the size is just too small to do anything with. Honestly, those days are barely surfable.
We then hit a dry patch. From Saturday the 22nd right through to the 1st of September, the commentary is mostly 'poor surf conditions.' The swell bumps up a little now and then, but it’s consistently blown out by a cross-on wind from the WSW. It’s a long, frustrating stretch with nothing worth paddling out for.
The one little glimmer might be the very end of the window. On the 2nd of September, we get a morning with a rare offshore wind from the SE. The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the SW, but having that clean, glassy surface makes a difference. It’s not a day to drive for, but if you live nearby, you could probably find a little waist-high crumbler all to yourself.
So, to sum it up: there’s no standout swell in this 16-day period. The best you can hope for are a few clean mornings on the 20th, 21st, and the 2nd of September, but the lack of size means the quality just isn't there for a proper session. It’s a tough run for Haggerty’s.
Rusty.

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.
