The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hargen is a struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about.
The whole run starts off pretty grim. Tuesday and Wednesday (1st and 2nd of September) are a write-off with tiny, weak waves and onshore wind messing it up. The swell energy is barely a whisper, sitting at 53 km/h and dropping. There’s a window from Thursday the 4th through Saturday the 6th where the swell tries to pick up, hitting a moderate 199 mm of energy on Friday morning, but it’s accompanied by fresh cross-onshore winds that just ruin the surface. It’s lumpy and messy.
A bit of a tease on Sunday the 6th – the wind goes light and clean, but the swell is barely there, just 2ft. That’s a skunk session if I ever saw one. The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same: tiny swell, poor conditions, and winds that are either too strong or from the wrong direction. The 10th of September sees a spike in energy with a 5ft swell, but the wind is a near-gale, making it a total mess. Definitely one for the kite surfers, not paddlers.
After that, the whole second week fades out. From the 11th of September onwards, it’s a slow, flat decline. Swell energy drops back to weak two-digit numbers, and while the wind goes offshore or clean on a few days like the 14th, there’s just no wave to ride. We’re talking 1ft of nothing. You’d be better off staying home.
The water temperature at Hargen is about average for this time of year, which is a small comfort, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s no surf. This is a tough stretch.
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.
