The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next two and a half weeks is a tough one to write. I’ve looked long and hard at the info, and honestly, there’s not a single session in the whole 16-day window that I’d recommend paddling out for. We’ve got a blank run from start to finish.
The first real chance of anything surfable might not even show up, because the data shows a relentless run of poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy stays weak, never breaking into a decent range. You’ll see values like 44, 9, 4, and even dropping to 1, which is the lowest you can get. The swell heights are tiny, mostly between 0.3 ft and 3 ft, and the wind is almost always onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong to make any of it worth it.
There is a slight uptick in energy around the 18th of August, with a combined energy of 59 during the Tuesday afternoon, but the swell is just 3 ft from the NW at 6 seconds, which is weak and sloppy. Even though the swell direction is NNW, which matches the optimum swell direction for Hargen, the wind is onshore. It’s a beach break setup, so with the wind and the small, weak waves, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temperature is average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But for waves, this is a real dry spell. It’s not unusual for this area to see a run like this – when there’s no consistent swell, you just have to wait for the next system to change things up. Forecasts can change, so keep your eye on it, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the shed.
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.
