The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at the surf outlook for Haggerty's.
We're looking at a 16-day window that kicks off today, Thursday the 3rd of September, but to be honest, the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. The overall pattern is a long period SSW groundswell that will stick around, but the wind is going to be the main character here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The real standout, the session you want to pencil in, is Friday the 4th of September in the morning. Haggerty's will have a clean 3ft SSW swell pushing in with a solid 17-second period (groundswell), giving it some real push. The combined energy is moderate at 442. The wind is a light 10 mph SE breeze, which is cross-offshore, so the surface will be glassy. Crowds are often a factor here, so you might not have it to yourself, but the conditions will be worth it. This is a beginner-friendly reef and point break, so it's a great option for everyone.
Saturday the 5th of September morning is also a good call. The swell holds at 3ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, and the wind drops right out – just a slight 3 mph S air, making it dead clean. Swell energy is still moderate at 434. Another solid window for clean waves.
The afternoons in this first week are a write-off as the wind swings onshore and chops things up. From Sunday the 6th through to Thursday the 10th, the mornings are either cross-shore or onshore, with the swell dropping and the wind never quite cooperating. The 8th of September morning has a bit more size at 4ft but the cross-shore wind leaves it a bit messy.
The second week is a bit of a grind. The swell stays small, mostly 1ft to 2ft, and the wind is a constant mess in the afternoons. The 11th of September (Friday) morning is a glimmer of hope with clean 2ft swell and a light 10 mph SSE cross-offshore, but the energy is lower. The 12th of September (Saturday) afternoon is surfable but ordinary. The 16th of September (Wednesday) morning has a 2ft swell with clean conditions, but it's far from a standout. There's a gap of a few days with no real quality in the middle of the second week.
So, bottom line: the first weekend is your best bet. Go for Friday morning the 4th or Saturday morning the 5th. After that, keep your expectations low.

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.
