The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty again. Let’s do the imperial rundown for the same stretch at Haggerty’s.
Water temp is 72°, which is much warmer than normal—about 6° above average for this time of year, so that’s a weird one.
No real surf worth paddling for until Thursday 19 September. The first nine days are flat or ordinary, with swell heights from 1ft to 3ft, mostly out of the SW, and periods sometimes under 8 seconds. Combined wave energy stays weak, between 110 and 341. Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, and most sessions are “poor” or “marginal.”
Friday 20 September morning is the first proper standout. Clean cross-off wind from the SE at 6 mph, with a 2ft SW groundswell rolling in at 18 seconds. That long period is perfect for this reef and point—better shape, more push, and more time between sets. Combined energy hits 356, and it’s a “good” call. Crowds are likely, so get there early.
Monday 21 September morning tops it all. This is the biggest energy of the run at 474. Swell size is a touch over 3ft from the SW, still 17 seconds, and light offshore cross-off wind from the S at 6 mph. Clean, solid, and the best bet of the whole forecast. After that, afternoons get chopped up by cross-on westerlies.
From Sunday 22 September on, the swell holds around 3ft but the wind goes wrong—on or cross-on from the west—and it’s mostly poor and choppy. Mornings are the only chance, and even then, it’s marginal.
Bottom line: aim for the mornings of the 20th and 21st. Everything before that is a wait.

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.
