The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line.
Honestly, mate, we’re staring down a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 11th, and even then it’s barely a whisper. The whole first week is a write-off with mostly poor surf conditions—cross-onshore breezes and choppy, messy water.
Haggerty’s (reef and point) is our only real option here. The water is sitting at a very unusual 72.1°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle won’t sting.
The first hint of anything worthwhile comes on the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. We’re looking at tiny 1.3 ft of SSW swell with a long period of 13 seconds. The wind swings cross-offshore, so the surface cleans right up. It’s surfable, but the combined energy is a weak 140—barely a pulse. It’s more of a longboard or funboard kind of session.
The same pattern repeats on the mornings of Wednesday, August 12th and Thursday, August 13th. Slightly more energy—183 and 127—but still tiny, clean waves. If you’re itching for a paddle, those are your best bets, but don’t expect any power.
The real standout, and I mean the only one worth getting excited about, doesn’t come until Sunday, August 16th. The morning is looking glassy—absolutely flat calm, offshore wind—with a 2.6 ft SSW swell. The period is a nice 15 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 322 (moderate wave energy). That’s the pick of the whole forecast. Clean, lined-up waves that will actually hold some shape. Crowds are possible there, so get in early.
After that, things fade back into mediocrity. The morning of Tuesday, August 18th sees a cross-offshore breeze and a similar 2.3 ft SSW swell (301 energy), but it’s only rated as marginal. Another look might be the morning of Wednesday, August 19th with clean conditions and 2.3 ft SSW swell (220), but it’s still ordinary.
Overall, we’ve got a long dry spell with one clear window: the glassy morning of Sunday the 16th. Set your alarm for that one.

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.
