The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the charts for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook for us. There’s not a single day where I’d be happy telling you to grab your board and head out. The whole 16-day period is a write-off for decent surf. We’ve got a long, blank run here from the start right through to the end of the forecast window.
The first possible recommendation isn’t until the afternoon of Thursday, 27 August, and even that’s a no-go. The swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft from the north, with a weak period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 1, which is barely a ripple. Winds are a light cross-offshore, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The water is sitting at 68°, which is 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – a little notable for a touch warmer conditions.
After that, it’s all downhill. We get pulses of small, wind-affected swell from the 28th of August through to the 11th of September, but every single session is rated as poor. The winds are a nightmare – mostly fresh cross-onshore from the southwest or west, making for lumpy, choppy, and messy conditions. We see a few bits of moderate energy, like on Monday, 31 August, with 4 ft from the WSW and energy hitting 159, but it’s all ruined by that 22 mph cross-onshore wind.
There’s a bit of a clean window on the morning of Sunday, 6 September, with light rain and a cross-offshore breeze from the south, but the swell is only 2 ft with a short 5-second period. You’d be fighting for a knee-high slop.
The strongest wind we see is a near gale from the west on Tuesday, 8 September, with gusts up to 34 mph. The swell is 4 ft from the NW with 8-second period, but with that wind, it’s a mess. Given the beach/breakwater setup and constant onshore conditions, this whole period looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For us surfers, it’s a long wait.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
