The Lowdown
Imperial Version
Alright folks, Rusty here with the real talk.
It’s been a rough go for Hargen. The first week and a half is a total bust. From now right through the 7th of August, we’ve got nada. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and every session is a total mess. The wave energy is pathetic, barely registering a whisper. It’ll make you want to take up golf.
But hold the phone. The light finally comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we finally get a pulse of swell from the west at 4ft to 5ft. The combined energy shoots up to 205, which is a solid, moderate push. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind-swell, but it’s clean. That’s the best we’ve seen all month. The water is a very unusual 67° – that’s 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the booties at home.
Sunday the 9th carries that west-northwest swell at 4ft with a clean offshore breeze, and the energy is still strong at 202. It’s surfable, but watch the tide. After that, the wind picks up and the quality fades into the second week, with cross-shore chop and smaller swell dropping back to the 3ft range. It’s not a write-off, but it’s not a day-maker.
The only real standout here is that Saturday the 8th. The combined energy (205) is the biggest we’ll get, and the glassy conditions make it the cleanest Hargen will be. The swell is from the west, and the break prefers a north-northwest direction, so it’s a little off, but when you’ve been staring at flat water for a week, you don’t complain. The crowds are “sometimes”, so you might have a few buddies out, but nothing crazy.
A blank run like this isn’t unusual for this area. Just keep the faith, forecasts can change on a dime.
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.
