The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've looked at the charts for the Hargen stretch, and it is grim. Really grim. We're looking at a solid 16-day window with basically nothing on the table. It's the kind of forecast that makes you want to take up golf.
The first week and a half is a total write-off. We're talking flat, dribbly leftovers for the first few days, with light winds and next to no energy. The swell energy is as low as it gets (1, 2). Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th tease you with a little more size, but it's sloppy and cross-shore, and the energy is still weak (20, 54). The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." Yeah, no kidding.
There is a brief moment mid-week where the wind goes offshore and clean, but the swell just isn't there. Wednesday the 12th morning has a clean look but only 1.3ft on offer, and the energy is a pathetic (21). Thursday and Friday are just flat. It's a tease, and a cruel one.
The wind stays messy for the second week, with a bit more size on Saturday the 15th, but it's lumpy and cross-onshore with a fresh breeze. The kind of stuff that only a kite surfer could love. The swell energy does get into the moderate range (66), but it's all chop and no shape. The rest of the week is more of the same – small, onshore slop. There's a brief period of glassy conditions on the morning of Thursday the 20th, but again, the swell is tiny and weak.
Honestly, for Hargen, this is a blank run. The break is a beach/breakwater setup, and it just doesn't have the consistency to make anything out of this mess. It's a frustrating forecast, but it looks like it's a normal spell for this area. Don't hold your breath for a change, but as always, forecasts can shift. Until then, I'd be looking for a skatepark.
Later.

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.
