The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is Rusty, and I'm lookin' straight at the charts for Haggerty's. Let's be real, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn. We've got a long period of just tiny, weak waves, and it's not until the very end of the run that we start to see a little life.
The forecast opens with a bit of a dud, honestly. Tuesday the 4th of August through to the 6th, we're looking at swell a paltry 1 ft from the SW. The energy is weak (105 to 120), and the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-on. The surf is just poor, so don't even bother paddling out. It's a flat spell. That carries on through the end of the first week, too. Even though the mornings on the 7th and 8th of August finally see some clean, cross-off wind, the swell is still only 1 ft to 2 ft. The energy is moderate (234) on the 7th, but it's just not enough to push any real shape into the lineup. It's surfable, but barely.
Now, the real highlight, the only one worth setting the alarm for, is the morning of Monday the 19th of August. After days of nothing and some moderate cross-onshore chop, we finally get a window. The morning brings a clean 2 ft SSW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds. The energy is moderate (164) and the wind is a light cross-off from the south at 10 km/h. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Haggerty's is a reef and point break and it's very consistent, so with that long-period groundswell, it'll be peeling nicely. The crowd can be a problem here, as it's "often" busy, so for that tiny window, you'll want to be early. A 2 ft wave with that kind of period and glassy conditions will be clean and fun on the point. That's your best bet. Absolutely no other standout in the whole 16-day window.

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.
