The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, this forecast period is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a big gap at the start with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a stretch of poor conditions and small, messy waves for the first few days, so it’s not worth paddling out until things start to tidy up. After that, there are a few windows where the wind cleans up, but the swell is pretty tiny through most of the second week.
The first chance for anything decent comes on Thursday, September 10th, in the morning. The wind swings offshore from the south at 6 mph, and we’ve got a clean 2 ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 17-second period. The combined energy is moderate (328). It’s small, but that offshore wind and long period mean the waves will have some shape and push to them. You’ll need a log or a fish, but it beats the junk we’ve had.
The real standout here, though, is looking further ahead. Mark your calendars for Thursday morning, September 17th. The conditions line up perfectly at Haggerty's. We’ve got glassy conditions—dead flat wind at 3 mph from the SSW, which is essentially no wind. The swell is still small at 2 ft and coming from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period and moderate combined energy (284). This is a reef and point break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely and hold its shape, making the most of the tiny size. The water is running at 73°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year—a very notable 7°F above average. Expect crowds to be likely here, because it's very consistent, but when it goes glassy like this, it's worth the company.
Otherwise, don't get your hopes up. The rest of the period is plagued by cross-onshore winds and rippled conditions, with wave heights barely cracking 3 ft. There’s a brief window on Saturday the 12th morning with an offshore breeze and clean 2 ft waves, but it's weak and ordinary. The swell picks up a little on Monday the 21st, hitting 3 ft from the SW with moderate energy (404), but the wind is cross-onshore and messy. Overall, you've got a long wait for that one glassy morning. Tie your boards up tight and wait for the 17th.

A general guide to surfing at Haggerty's can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
