The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Haggerty’s.
First up, it’s a reef and point setup, ideal for beginners, and it’s very consistent. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild to report there.
The outlook is a bit of a slow burn, to be honest. For the next couple of days, we’re looking at small, weak swell. On Monday the 31st, the swell is only 2ft from the SSW, with a long 14-second period, and the wind is chopping it up. It’s a write-off. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are similar – tiny 1ft swell, with a bit of cross-onshore wind messing things up. The combined energy is weak, sitting around 89 to 205 (moderate energy on the 2nd morning), but it’s not enough to get excited about.
We see a slight uptick heading into the first weekend. Thursday the 3rd morning has a clean 1ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and light cross-offshore winds from the SE. The combined energy is moderate at 224. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Friday the 4th morning is the best of the first week: a clean 3ft SSW swell, with a long 17-second period, and light SE winds. The combined energy is moderate at 417. It’s a marginal call, but that’s the pick of the early days.
The real standout, though, is Saturday the 5th morning. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the wind is light and cross-shore from the SW. The combined energy is 322 (moderate). It’s not huge, but it’s the cleanest, most promising window in the first week. The offshore wind direction (WSW) is right on the money for Haggerty’s optimum. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
After that, it drops off again. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th get messy with rain and strong winds. The rest of the second week is a long stretch of poor conditions – the swell stays under 2ft, and the wind is constantly cross-onshore. The 15th of September morning shows a glimmer: a 1ft SW swell with a 16-second period, clean with cross-offshore SE winds, but it’s a very ordinary 1ft. The energy is weak at 147.
So, the best of the lot is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window where the stars align a little. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s mostly a waiting game.
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.
