The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Hargen, and I gotta say, it’s a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell, and even when the swell shows up, the conditions are just not cooperating.
The water is sitting at 69°, which is a full 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels weird, but it won't help the waves.
The forecast starts off with a real stinker. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are basically flat, with tiny swell energy barely registering 1-7. Tuesday the 4th is a joke – a 2ft swell from the WSW with a 4-second period and a cross-shore wind. Gutless.
From Wednesday the 5th through the 8th, there’s a bit of a bump, but it’s all wind-affected. The swell is short-period and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. The combined energy peaks at 84 on Thursday the 6th, but that’s with an onshore wind, so it’s just messy.
There is a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 9th. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the West with a 6-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the ESE. The combined energy is 63. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. That morning window is your best bet, but it’s not a standout.
The following week, from the 10th onwards, is a write-off. The swell drops back to tiny, and the wind continues to be a problem. The biggest swell of the period comes in on the afternoon of Friday the 14th, with a 5ft swell from the NW with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 239. That’s some energy, but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-onshore wind, making it a lumpy, windy mess. Just ugly.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a paddle, you’re better off staying home. The setup on the 14th and 15th, with those bigger, lumpy swells and strong cross-shore winds, would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer. There’s just nothing worth chasing.
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.
