The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at Haggerty’s for the next sixteen days.
Right from the start, it’s slim pickings. The first handful of days dish up tiny waves and tricky winds, with a long dry spell before anything really worth paddling out for. From September 11th through the 19th, it’s mostly small and ordinary – surfable, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, between 94 and 212. The water temp is running a very unusual 4° warmer than average for this time of year, at 23°, so that’s a conversation starter at Haggerty’s.
The standout – and it’s a real gem – lands on Sunday morning, September 20th. We get glassy conditions, a light breeze from the southwest at 5 km/h, with a 0.6m SW swell and a long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and with the optimum direction from the WNW, this SW swell is working well. The combined swell energy is 339 (moderate). This is the pick of the run – clean, glassy Haggerty’s, a reef and point setup. It’s beginner-friendly, but expect crowds. The long period will shape those waves up nicely on the point, though there’ll be longer lulls between sets. Afternoons fade into poor cross-onshore wind, so get out early.
Monday the 21st holds a 0.7m SW swell in the morning, but with cross winds and just marginal conditions. Energy bumps to 358 (moderate), but the wind’s not on our side. From Tuesday the 22nd through Saturday the 26th, most sessions are poor or just surfable in very ordinary conditions. Swell stays around 0.4m to 0.6m, mostly SW, but the wind is often cross-on or cross, and the wave comment keeps calling it “poor surf conditions.” Combined swell energy runs from 144 to 258 – weak to moderate. Nothing to get the blood pumping.
So, your play: Sunday morning, September 20th. Get down there early, soak up the glass.
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.
