The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this outlook for Hargen is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, the conditions are pretty grim for most of it. The water's a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 67.8°, but that’s about the only bright spot.
For the first ten days, from Saturday the 29th of August right through to early September, it's pretty much a write-off. We've got onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the W and SW, blowing at 16 to 25 mph, churning up the water. Swell hangs around a meagre 2.6 ft to 3.9 ft, with short periods of 4 to 7 seconds, so there's no real power behind it. The combined wave energy stays weak, mostly under 100, with a few spikes up to 187 on the 3rd of September, but the wind's so strong it just trashes any shape. It's just messy, lumpy, and not worth the paddle.
There is a tiny glimmer on Saturday the 5th of September. The swell bumps up to 4.6 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 304. But look, the wind is still a cross-on 12 mph from the SW, slapping the face of the waves. It's not good enough to call it a surfable day. The conditions are just "poor" across the board.
We've got a gap of dead days until we hit Saturday the 12th of September. Saturday afternoon the 12th is the only session that even gets a "marginal" nod. Swell is 4.6 ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, with 256 combined energy. Wind drops to a light 6 mph from the SSW, creating a light cross-shore. It might just be rideable for a keen intermediate, but the comment flags questionable tide conditions. Hargen is a beach/breakwater setup, so with these swells and the onshore angles, if you’re after a session, this might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers for most of the period. Honestly, the surf forecast looks pretty empty for a while, but forecasts can change.
Stay keen.

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.
