The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up at Haggerty's (Malaga Cove) for the next couple of weeks.
This is a reef and point break that fires on a WNW swell and is super consistent. You won’t be surfing alone here when there’s waves.
We’re starting quiet. Your first chance to get wet is Wednesday morning, September 2nd. There’s a tiny 1ft groundswell from the southwest, with a long 16-second period, but the energy is weak (190). The big win? The wind is glassy, coming from the SSW at just 3 mph. That means the surface will be like polished glass. For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a dream, even if the swell is small. Water temp is nothing unusual for this time of year.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, is similar – small 1ft SW groundswell (198 energy) with a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s rideable, but don’t expect much push.
Friday morning, September 4th, is where we see a real bump. Swell hits 3ft from the SSW, period a solid 17 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 434. Winds stay light and clean from the SSE. This is the morning to dig out the longboard. That bigger energy and clean face make it the first real standout.
Saturday morning, September 5th, the swell holds at 3ft (314 energy) but the wind goes cross. Not terrible, but not as good. After that, things get messy. From Sunday, September 6th through Tuesday, September 8th, we see onshore and cross-onshore winds with inconsistent swell. Tuesday afternoon brings a 15 mph wind from the W – no good for surfing, but if you kite, the beach setup there could be a blast.
We hit a proper flat spell from around September 7th. The combined energy drops to weak levels – double or low triple digits – with waves as small as 0.3ft. There’s a small glimpse on Thursday morning, September 10th, with 2ft from the SW at 17 seconds (403 energy) and light cross-shore wind, but it’s marginal. Same story on Friday morning, September 11th.
Saturday morning, September 12th, brings a clean 2ft wave from the SW with a cross-offshore breeze – good for a lazy session, nothing exciting.
The second week is a snoozer. Swell stays in the 1ft to 2ft range, with weak energy and mostly cross-onshore wind. On September 17th, we see a super long 23-second period, but on a 1ft wave – that long period will just make it close out at the beach. The point might catch a couple, but it's not worth planning around.
The best of it? Friday morning, September 4th. Clean 3ft SSW groundswell with good energy. If you miss that, Wednesday morning, September 2nd has glassy conditions on a tiny wave. Go small or go home.
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.
