The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Hargen over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a long, blank run for almost the entire 16-day window. There’s a solid gap of over a week with no real surf on offer, and even when we look further out, conditions are just messy. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate.
We’re starting off with nothing. Wednesday the 5th through to the 15th of August is basically a write-off. The wind is howling from the SW and W, blowing straight across the swell, and the waves are tiny, weak, and bumpy. The combined energy is barely registering, and that’s just not enough to push a decent wave. It's all very short period, chop, and frustration. Honestly, for a beach/breakwater setup like Hargen, this kind of wind and weak swell is more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone with a paddle.
Then, we get a flicker of hope. On the morning of Saturday the 15th of August, we see a brief moment of near-perfect conditions. The wind drops to nearly nothing, going glassy, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW. It’s a short period (5 seconds), but that glassy surface is a rare treat. The combined energy is still low, so it’s not going to be big or powerful, just clean and small. If you’re about to call it quits on the whole forecast, this is the one window to keep an eye on. It’s the only true standout in a very quiet period.
After that, it’s back to the struggle. By Sunday the 16th, the wind picks up again from the NW, and the swell gets a little more energy, but it’s all cross-on and onshore, turning any potential into a bumpy, lumpy mess. The rest of the week into the 20th is just more of the same – onshore winds, weak swell, and poor quality.
So, if you’re waiting for a good session, that Saturday morning (15th of August) is your best bet, and even then, keep your expectations low. The rest of this run is a washout.
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.
