The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let's have a look at what's on offer around here. The main spot on the radar is Haggerty's, a reef and point break that's very consistent. Water temps are sitting at 72°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need a full wetsuit.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, though. Wednesday the 26th kicks off with tiny 2ft swell from the SW and a cross-onshore breeze, making for poor conditions. Thursday the 27th morning cleans up a little with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 1ft and the energy is weak (74). The afternoon goes back to being choppy. Friday the 28th is more of the same, with a light cross-onshore and poor surf.
Now, the standout is looking like Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We've got a glassy 3ft SW groundswell, and the period is a solid 16 seconds, which means the waves will have decent shape and energy. The combined energy is moderate (443), and with glassy conditions, it's going to be clean as a whistle. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and that swell size is perfect for learning. That morning session is the best on offer by a long shot.
Sunday morning, the 30th, is also clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 3ft SSW swell, but the energy drops a bit (337). It's still a good wave, but not quite as good as Saturday.
From there, things get pretty ordinary. The second week of the forecast is a bit of a drought. There are pockets of clean, surfable waves on the mornings of the 31st, and the 6th and 9th of September, but the swell is tiny, around 2ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak. The 10th of September morning looks promising with a clean 2ft SW swell and moderate energy (421), but that's a long way off. For most of the second week, the afternoons are blown out by a cross-onshore breeze.
Overall, Saturday morning the 29th is your best bet. Get out there early.
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.
