The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window is a tough one. The only break in the game is Hargen, and it’s a beach/breakwater setup that just isn’t going to fire. If you’re looking for something to get excited about, you’ll be waiting a while.
We kick off Tuesday the 15th of September with a tiny 3ft swell from the SW, but it’s got a weak period of 5 seconds and the combined energy is a pathetic 44. A stiff cross-breeze at 19 mph means it’s lumpy and messy – not worth paddling out. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, if that’s any consolation.
The whole first week is a write-off. Swells stay below 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is constantly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping everything choppy. Even when the energy bumps up slightly to 114 on Friday afternoon the 18th, the 4ft wave is messed up by a 19 mph cross-onshore. No standouts here.
We hit a real flat spot from Sunday the 20th of September right through to Monday the 28th. That’s over a week of tiny, gutless waves – mostly under 1ft – with combined energy dropping into the single digits. The wind stays mainly cross or cross-onshore, so it’s not even clean. There’s a fleeting moment on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th morning where the wind switches to cross-off and it’s clean, but the swell is only 0.3ft to 0.7ft. A fish couldn’t get a ride.
On Tuesday the 29th of September, the wind ramps up to a strong 25 mph from the WNW, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a 5-second period and an energy reading of just 11 – that’s more of a kitesurfing setup than a paddle session.
The very last day, Wednesday the 30th of September, sees a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swell with a very long 14-second period, but the energy is still minimal (23 at best) and it’s cross-onshore. The period is interesting, but with no size, it’s a flat calm.
Honestly, if you’re hanging for a wave, this stretch is a dud. Hargen is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a classic example. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on the table.
Stay patient,
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.
