The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and look at what Hargen's got coming. And I gotta level with you – it's a right bummer. We're in for a long, dry patch.
The curtain opens on Friday the 28th of August, and it's a struggle. We've got a weak 2ft swell from the WSW, a short 5-second period, and the combined energy is a feeble 17 – that's about as weak as it gets. To make matters worse, a fresh cross-onshore wind has the surface chopped up and lumpy. The water's sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than average for the season, but you won't notice it through that mess.
This pattern just sticks around. Through Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th, it's the same story. The swell hangs between 3ft and 4ft, but the wind is still fresh and onshore from the WSW. The combined energy gets up to 85 on Sunday morning, but the conditions are just choppy and poor.
Come Monday the 31st, we get a tiny spike. The swell hits 4ft and the energy climbs to 111, which is moderate, but the wind is still cross or cross-on. The surf is poor. Not worth the paddle.
The entire first week, all the way to September 6th, is a washout. There's a tiny window on Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon where the wind goes offshore, but the swell drops to a pathetic 2ft. The conditions would be clean, but there’s nothing to surf. The energy is only 27.
The second week doesn't get much better. We see more consistent swell from the WNW and NW, but the height just hangs around the 3ft mark. The wind stays onshore for most of it, with a couple of clean-looking days on the 8th and 10th of September, but the swell is still small. On Saturday the 12th of September, the combined energy jumps to 174 with a 4ft swell and a longer 9-second period from the NW, but the wind is a fresh onshore blast from the west. The power is there, but the surface will be a mess.
Honestly, there is no standout session here. Not even close. This is a complete blank run. For a spot like Hargen – a beach and breakwater setup – it usually doesn't stay this poor for long, but this forecast is a solid wall of disappointment. You'd be better off finding something else to do for the next two weeks.
Rusty.

Information about the Hargen Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hargen provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hargen can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hargen 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 (Hargen) 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 Hargen 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.
