The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The charts are showing a pretty grim stretch for Hargen. Honestly, there’s a massive gap of no decent surf on offer. From now until the 17th of September, it’s all poor surf conditions—windy, choppy, messy, and tiny. Don’t bother paddling out. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the 18th of September.
We’re looking at Friday morning, the 18th of September. That’s the standout. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the south, which will keep the surface clean. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, so it’s a touch of groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 115. It’s small, but it could be rideable for an intermediate on the right board. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The rest of the period after that is still a struggle. The afternoon of the 18th gets a little cross-on wind, and the 19th sees some bigger swell—4ft to 4ft—but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it messy. By the 20th, it’s back to tiny and onshore. The 22nd has a bit of a pulse with 4ft, but again, the wind is cross-on and the period is short.
Bottom line: if you’ve got a longboard and patience, the 18th of September morning is your only real window. Otherwise, this is a kite-surfing setup for most of the 16 days—strong winds, poor surf quality, and a beach break that’s not going to give you much.
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.
