Haggerty's Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk surf. Only one spot to focus on: Haggerty’s, a reef and point that’s great for beginners and hardly ever goes flat. But man, the next couple weeks are a mixed bag.

Water temp is 73°, which is a wild 8° above normal for this time of year—feels like leftover summer.

Sunday the 13th is a slow starter. Morning has a tiny 1ft SW swell (period 13 seconds, combined energy 158), with light cross-off wind, so it’s clean but flat. Afternoon gets smaller and cross-on. Not worth it.

Monday the 14th morning is your first real look: 2ft from the W, but period is only 7 seconds, so weak and short. Wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean. Still, nothing special.

From Tuesday the 15th through Saturday the 19th, it’s a dead zone. Swells hang between 1ft and 2ft, winds are mostly cross-on or cross-off, and wave quality is poor. Energy stays low (102 to 317). Just leave the board at home.

Now, Sunday the 20th morning: glassy, 2ft SW swell (period 18 seconds, energy 330). That’s a long-period groundswell, and with zero wind, it’ll be smooth. This is the standout of the run. The long period will give the waves some push, and on a reef point, that’s a treat. Expect some company though—crowds are likely.

Monday the 21st morning is another good call. Swell bumps to 3ft from the SW (period 17 seconds, energy 414), with light cross-off wind. Best size of the whole outlook, and clean. Afternoon goes cross-on and ugly.

From Tuesday the 22nd, it’s back to small, choppy, and ordinary. A few mornings like Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th have light cross-off wind and clean 2ft surf, but the energy is low and the waves are just okay.

So if you want the best of it, paddle out Sunday the 20th morning for glass, or Monday the 21st morning for a touch more size. The rest is a long, flat stretch.
