The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hargen are a real struggle. There’s no standout session, no window of clean, rippable surf. The pattern is dominated by poor conditions, with hardly a moment worth paddling out for.
The whole outlook starts with a rough run. From Wednesday the 2nd to Friday the 11th of September, things are pretty grim. Wednesday morning kicks off with a weak 2ft swell from the west, period a short 5 seconds, and 15 mph cross-on wind from the WSW. The combined energy is weak (15), and it’s just choppy and messy. That same story repeats across the next ten days: swell heights bounce between 0.7ft and 4ft, but the wind is nearly always cross-on, onshore, or fresh-to-strong breeze, creating lumpy, poor surf. The combined energy occasionally hits moderate values (101 on Thursday morning the 3rd, 125 Friday afternoon, 178 on Saturday the 5th), but the wind and short period ruin any chance of quality. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
There’s a tiny glimmer late on Friday the 11th. The afternoon goes glassy with a light SW breeze, and a 4ft swell from the WSW with a 6-second period pushes through. The combined energy is 94 – still weak-ish – and the waves are surfable but very ordinary. It’s the only moment in the whole outlook where the score isn’t a flat zero. Even then, it’s not a recommendation, just a reminder that the ocean is still alive.
After that, Saturday the 12th through to Wednesday the 16th sees a slow fade. Swell drops to 3ft and then below 2ft, with periods lengthening a bit (8 to 10 seconds), and the wind shifts cross-off or light, making the surface clean. But the energy is weak (124 on Saturday morning, then dropping to 4 or 8) and the waves are too small to do anything with. The crowd profile at Hargen is “sometimes” busy, but honestly, you won’t need to worry about company – there’s nothing to share.
So, the bottom line: there’s no surf worth chasing here. The best I can say is if you’re desperate, that glassy Friday afternoon might give you a few wobbly ones, but keep expectations low. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a dry spell. This coastline can go quiet, and this is one of those stretches. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang the board up and wait.
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.
