The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hargen is a tough one. The pickings are slim, real slim. The whole forecast is a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and messy wind. For the first week and a half, from August 10 right through to the 22nd, there’s essentially nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is consistently under 3 ft, often down around 0.3 ft to 1.3 ft, and the energy is pathetic – the combined energy of all swells sits in the single digits or low teens for most of that period. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. It’s a frustrating blank run, but for a beach/breakwater setup like this, it’s not unusual when the swell windows are this narrow.
Now, there is one tiny glimmer of hope, and it’s a proper long-shot. On Sunday, the 23rd of August, we see a bit of a pulse. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the WSW, but the real story is the wind. It’s glassy. That’s rare. The forecast shows a slight air, making it clean. The combined energy jumps to 37 (moderate wave energy), and the period is a short 5 seconds, so it won’t be powerful, but it’ll be rideable. The tricky part is the swell direction is WSW, which is a far cry from the optimum NNW direction for this spot. It’s not going to line up perfectly, so the waves will be a bit weak and rolly. Still, if you’re desperate for a session, that Sunday morning is your only real bet. Don’t expect much after that, as the wind swings back to the onshore and lumpy for the rest of the week. Keep your expectations in the gutter on this one.

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.
