The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Hargen. I’ve got to be honest with you, the next sixteen days look pretty grim if you’re hoping to get wet. There’s a big, long gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
We start off with the first few days, and it’s just not happening. Friday the 11th through until the end of the second week, the surf is basically flat or junk. We’re talking tiny swell heights, mostly under 3 ft, with periods so short they’re just wind slop. On Saturday the 14th, the swell drops to a pathetic 0.3 ft, and the combined wave energy is a measly 7. It’s like a lake out there. Winds are all over the place – cross, cross-on, and onshore – making everything choppy and messy. Every single entry says “poor surf conditions,” and I’m not about to lie to you. It’s just not worth the effort.
There is a brief window around the 20th of September where we get some light offshore winds (ESE and E) and it looks clean, but the swell is still only 0.3 ft. That energy is just 2. You can’t surf flat water. That pattern of clean but tiny waves carries on until the 24th, so nearly a full week of potential for a glassy paddle but zero surfable waves.
We finally see a little bump on Friday the 25th of September, with a 1 ft swell and a touch more energy, but that’s matched with cross-onshore winds at 12–15 mph, so it’s straight back to lumpy, choppy conditions.
So, the bottom line: there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. For Hargen, a blank run like this is just part of the deal sometimes. It won’t stay poor forever, forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off leaving the boards in the car and doing something else. This is one for the kite surfers, because the waves aren’t doing us any favors.
Stay dry out there.

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.
