The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Hargen. The next sixteen days are looking pretty bleak, so don’t get your hopes up.
We’ve got a long, dry spell to start. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Thursday afternoon the 3rd of September right through to Saturday the 12th, the conditions are just awful. Strong winds, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is either tiny or blown to bits. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the double digits, and even when it pushes up to moderate energy around 203 (Sunday morning the 6th), the wind is howling from the WNW at 22 mph and onshore, making it a total mess. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
There’s no real standout in this whole period. The best we’ve got is a tiny window on Sunday the 13th. The morning brings a clean, light offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph, with the swell at Hargen coming in at 3 ft from the northwest on an 8-second period. The combined energy is only 75 (weak), so it’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the only time the wind is actually your friend. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°F.
After that, it’s back to tiny, blown-out nothingness right through to the end of the forecast on the 18th of September. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Sunday morning of the 13th might be your only chance, but keep the expectations on the floor. This is a proper flat spell.

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.
