Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hargen over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk turkey. For the Hargen area, the next 16 days are mostly a bust. The first week and a half has next to nothing – tiny swell, messy wind, and water that’s just not cooperating. The first real surfable day is Monday, August 10th.
On Monday morning, we get a 3ft swell from the NW with a 6-second period. It’s a short-period windswell, so the waves will be a bit fat and close out, but it’s the first ridable swell we’ve seen. The wind is glassy – a light NE breeze at 3 mph – so the surface will be smooth. The combined energy of all swells is weak at 73. It’s a longboard day, not a shred session. The water is a very unusual 69°F, much warmer than normal for the time of year.
The real standout is Tuesday, August 11th, in the morning. Swell drops to 3ft from the NNW with an 8-second period. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, which will groom the waves into clean little walls. The combined energy is 84. It’s a fairly consistent break, but crowds are possible, so get there early. This is your best shot at a fun session in the whole 16-day window.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The afternoon of the 11th is cross-off but small, and from Wednesday the 12th on, it’s all tiny, choppy, and cross-onshore. The rest of the period is a total loss – nothing over 2ft and mostly blown out.
So, the pick of the litter is Tuesday morning, August 11th, at Hargen. It’s not big, but with offshore wind and clean conditions, it’s the only real window of fun. Monday morning is your backup if you’re desperate.

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.
