The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Hargen. Straight up, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day run, and honestly, the first two weeks are a write-off for decent waves. The pattern is poor surf conditions with messy winds and weak, short-period swell, day after day. There’s a big gap of nothing really worthwhile until the very end of the forecast period.
The only flicker of hope comes on Saturday the 26th of September. That morning, Hargen sees a small, weak swell from the NW, only 2 ft, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, just 55. But what makes this interesting is the wind. It’s a light ESE offshore breeze at 6 mph. That will clean the surface right up, and the report calls it clean conditions. For a break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the NW, this is your one shot at a surfable wave. It’s tiny and weak, but clean. The water is sitting at about 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. A bit of a novelty in an otherwise grim outlook.
After that brief glimmer, it’s straight back into poor conditions. The following Sunday and Monday look completely flat and blown out, and then we get a final blast of stronger, messy swell on Monday the 28th of September. That afternoon we see swell hitting 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 224. But it’s accompanied by a fresh onshore W wind at 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: if you are desperate for a paddle, the morning of Saturday the 26th is the only time that might offer something clean. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
