Haggerty's Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the outlook for Haggerty's.

Right off the bat, it's a bit of a rough start. The next few days are pretty ordinary with small, messy waves and cross-onshore breezes messing things up. You're looking at a gap with no real recommendations until we hit Friday the 24th. The water’s sitting at a very warm 72°, which is way hotter than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

Things start to look up on Friday the 24th. The morning session is the pick of the early run. That southerly breeze swings into a clean cross-off, tidying up a modest 2ft SSW swell. The combined swell energy is moderate at 409, and with a good 24-second period, those waves will have some proper grunt and shape for a reef-and-point setup like Haggerty's. It won't be huge, but it'll be clean and surfable.

We've got a few more decent windows over the weekend and into the following week, but the standout in this whole 16-day stretch is shaping up to be Monday the 27th, first thing in the morning. We're looking at a beautiful clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a light south wind keeping the surface glassy. The energy is solid at 624 – that’s a punchy, fun size for this spot. It’s a consistent break, so you can expect plenty of waves, but with an “often” crowd rating, you’ll want to get in early for a peak.

After that, the quality drops off again. The morning of the 28th is also clean with similar size, but the afternoons get chopped by the cross-onshore. Towards the end of July and into August, the swell fades away and the conditions turn poor, with very little to recommend. The energy drops right off into the low double digits by the 1st of August.

For the long-range, a small window on the morning of August 5th shows a clean 1ft SSW swell. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s the only flicker of life in an otherwise quiet second week. The energy is weak at 110. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it just yet.

So to wrap it up: don't bother paddling out until Friday morning the 24th. The true standout is the morning of Monday the 27th – that’s the session to circle on the calendar. After that, expect a whole lot of nothing for days on end. This is one of those times where it’s a waiting game, but when it fires, it’ll be worth it.

Stay frothy.
