Haggarty's

Haggarty’s is a surf spot in Los Angeles County, California, known for being a relatively local, lesser-known break rather than a widely crowded beach or point. Like many LA County spots, it tends to be strongly influenced by swell direction, tides, and sand movement, so conditions can change a lot from day to day and season to season.

General character

• Type: Likely a beachbreak / nearshore reef-influenced spot depending on exact sand setup
• Wave quality: Can offer fun, punchy waves when conditions line up, but is usually not as consistent as the more famous LA-area breaks
• Crowds: Often less crowded than major nearby surf destinations, though that can change when conditions are good
• Best conditions: Typically better with clean offshore winds and a swell direction that lights up the beach

What to expect

• Can be fast and hollow at times, especially on the right sandbar setup
• May have closeout sections if the swell is too large or the sand isn’t right
• Access and exact surf quality can vary depending on the season and local changes to the coastline

Surfing note

Because Haggarty’s is not one of the most widely documented mainstream surf spots, it’s a place where local knowledge matters a lot. Before heading out, it’s smart to: - check recent surf reports and cameras if available - talk to local surfers or shops - observe the lineup and hazards on arrival
