The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Hargen. Gotta be straight with you - this is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window and to be honest, the surf just isn’t cooperating. The whole period is riddled with poor surf conditions, so we're talking about a real test of patience.
Right from the start, Saturday the 15th, we have nothing. Tiny, weak swell at 1 foot from the NW with a short period of 4 seconds and a cross wind. The combined energy is a measly 6 – that’s weak. This flatness hangs around for days. We see a few small bumps, like on Tuesday the 19th with a 2ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is onshore and messy. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
The biggest pulse we see is right at the end of the outlook, on Sunday the 30th of August. Swell builds to 4 feet from the WSW with a period of 6 seconds. That gives us a combined energy of 109 – finally knocking on the door of moderate energy. But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the north at 18 mph, making for lumpy, bumpy conditions. It’s a glimmer of hope, but for now, it’s nothing more than that. This spot is a beach and breakwater setup, and with the winds forecast, it's honestly looking more like a kite-surfing proposition for most of this run than a quality wave for a paddle surfer.
The water temp is only noted on the first day at 70°F, which is 6°F warmer than normal. That's a very unusual anomaly for this time of year.
So, for those of you looking for a guarantee, there isn't one here. Hang tight, check the forecasts again closer to the 30th, but don't hold your breath.
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.
