Haggerty's Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, and honestly, it’s a tough one. I’m looking at Haggerty’s, a reef and point break that’s very consistent, and while that sounds promising, the conditions are not cooperating for the most part. The water is sitting at 72°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.

The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 6th through to Saturday the 8th, the surf is tiny, only 1ft to 2ft, and the wind is messy—cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and poor. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 102 and 211. There’s no point paddling out.

Sunday the 9th morning offers a bit of a glimmer. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSW, with a period of 15 seconds, and we finally get a light cross-offshore breeze from the S at 6 mph. That’s clean. The combined energy hits 194, which is still moderate, but it’s surfable. The waves will be small and very ordinary, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it’s something. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th mornings are similar stories—clean but tiny, with 1ft to 2ft waves.

We go through a long stretch of poor afternoons and marginal mornings until Sunday the 16th. That morning, the swell lifts to 3ft from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds and combined energy of 315. That’s moderate energy, but the wind is still cross-onshore, making it marginal. Not great.

Monday the 17th morning is the last real standout. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SE at 6 mph again, keeping it clean. The swell is 2ft from the SSW, period of 15 seconds, combined energy at 212. Again, small, but it’ll be the cleanest waves you’ll see in this stretch.

After that, it fades back to tiny, poor conditions through to the end of the window on the 21st. There’s a notable drop on the 21st afternoon, with the period crashing to just 7 seconds and combined energy dropping to 48—barely a ripple.

The standout: Honestly, there’s no proper standout here. If I had to pick the best window, it’s those Monday mornings—the 10th, 11th, 12th, 17th, and 19th—when the light cross-offshore wind cleans things up. The waves are small, but for a beginner-friendly reef and point that’s very consistent, you can at least get a few. The swell direction is SSW, but Haggerty’s optimum is from the WNW, so it’s not ideal.

Don’t expect much this run. It’s a waiting game.
