The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Hargen over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim picture. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There's not a single session that gets the thumbs up. We're looking at a solid two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.
The trouble starts right away. Thursday, September 3rd, and Friday, September 4th, are a mess of strong cross-onshore winds over 16 mph, with a weak, short-period swell under 4 ft. The combined wave energy is weak (119 to 125). It's just choppy, lumpy, and poor. That sets the tone for the whole run.
We get a little window of glassy or clean conditions on Sunday morning, September 6th (light breeze, cross-off), and Monday morning, September 7th, but the swell is totally flat – 2 ft and 0.3 ft – with energy levels of 32 and 1. Nothing to ride.
Then from Tuesday, September 8th, through Wednesday, September 16th, it's a mix of messy cross-onshore winds and, at best, a weak, short-period swell. The energy numbers are all over the place, but the "poor surf conditions" label never changes. Even when the swell bumps up to 5 ft on September 9th, the combined energy hits 245 (moderate), the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-onshore, tearing it to pieces. It's unrideable.
The last few days, from September 16th to 18th, show no swell at all for most sessions. The forecast ends with a whimper. For an exposed spot like Hargen, a blank run this long is a typical outcome when the weather patterns just don't align. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to chase.
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.
Hargen is 9 km (6 miles) from Schagen. If you plan a holiday in Netherlands, look for hotels and other accommodation in Schagen. Schagen has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
