The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, dialin' in for a look at the comin' weeks. Straight up, it's a grim stretch for Haggerty's. We've got a lot of small, wind-affected days ahead, so don't be expectin' any fireworks. The water temp is sittin' at a balmy 74° right now, which is a massive 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a wild anomaly and you'll be swimmin' in a bath.
The only window that even looks half-interestin' is Sunday the 30th of August. That mornin', we get a bit of a clean-up with a light cross-offshore breeze out of the south at 6 mph. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the SSW, but it's got a solid 15-second period on it, so there'll be some long, drawn-out lines. The combined energy is moderate (370), which is about all the oomph we'll get. That window looks the cleanest of the lot, but with it bein' a reef and point set-up, that long-period swell should wrap in nicely. Keep in mind, it's often crowded here, so you’ll have company for the few decent ones.
For the rest of the forecast? A whole lot of nuthin'. Monday the 31st of August mornin' is technically surfable, but it's just ordinary. The afternoon cross-onshore chop kills it. From there, we hit a proper flat spell. Tuesday the 1st of September through to Saturday the 12th of September is a desert. Most days aren't even worth paddlin' out for, with tiny, weak swell and constant cross-onshore wind ruining any chance of a clean wave. The combined energy drops down to weak, two-digit numbers on some days – just sad. The only tiny blip is a glassy, light rain mornin' on Friday the 11th of September, but the swell is still just 2 ft and weak (238). It's clean but gutless.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Sunday mornin' (30th of August) is the best you'll get. The rest of this 16-day run is a write-off. Nothin’ else is worth gettin’ wet for.
Rusty.

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.
