The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour. We’re looking at Haggerty’s – a reef and point break that’s beginner-friendly, very consistent, and often crowded. The water temp is 72°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual – that’s seriously unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm one.
Over the next 16 days, the swell comes from the SSW with long periods early on. The mornings are the only time to go – afternoons get blown out by cross-onshore winds. Sunday 26 July morning is only marginal – tide issues and cross wind, skip it. Monday 27 July morning is a standout. You’ve got 3ft of SSW groundswell with an 18-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the south at 6 mph. That’s clean, glassy lines. The combined energy is 594 (moderate), so plenty of push. Crowds are likely, but it’s worth it.
Tuesday 28 July morning is similar – 3ft, 17 sec, cross-off wind at 9 mph, energy 570. Wednesday 29 July drops to 3ft but still clean. Thursday 30 July is surfable but ordinary – 2ft, clean. Friday 31 July is flat and poor. Then Saturday 1 August morning brings a nice pulse: 3ft from the SSW, 12 sec, and light cross-off wind at 3 mph – almost glassy. Energy 365. That’s a great morning for a beginner wave. The afternoon blows out, so get in early.
After that, the swell fades. Sunday 2 August morning is 2ft, clean but weak. The rest of the second week sees tiny swell – 1ft to 2ft – with occasional clean mornings but low energy (values like 72, 99, 130). The period stays long (14-21 sec), but the height isn’t there. By the end, you’ve got 2-2ft with clean cross-off winds, but it’s marginal. The standout windows are Monday 27 July and Saturday 1 August – those are your best shots for a clean, fun session at Haggerty’s. Get in early, because the crowds will be there.

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.
Haggerty's is 5 km (3 miles) from Redondo Beach. If you plan a vacation in Los Angeles County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Redondo Beach. Redondo Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
