The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Hargen, it’s a tough one. The forecast is pretty much a write-off for surf, so don’t go getting your hopes up for any decent waves.
Right from the start, on Wednesday the 22nd of July, we’ve got a bit of swell showing, around 4ft to 4ft from the NW and NNW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best (101 to 150), and the period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds. It’s just poor surf conditions, not worth paddling out for.
That pattern keeps up through Thursday and Friday. The swell drops right off, down to 1ft or less, with short periods and cross-onshore winds. The energy is tiny, with numbers like 84, 70, and even down to 11. It’s all choppy and small.
We go into a real flat spell from Saturday the 25th of July all the way through to the end of the first week. The swell is tiny, under 3ft, with onshore winds, and the combined energy is barely a whisper (9, 5, 41). The wind is mostly onshore, and the water temperature is about 67°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable 5°F warmer than average.
The second week is just as bleak. The swell barely gets above 1ft, with periods all over the place, mostly short. The wind is a mix of cross-onshore and cross-shore, and the combined energy is almost always single-digit or teeny tiny. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Friday the 31st of July where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 0.7ft – not enough to surf.
The only real glimmer is on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, when we get a clean offshore wind from the East, with a light breeze. The swell is still only 0.7ft, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, which is a bit more organised. The combined energy is a paltry 10, though. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Even the afternoons of the 3rd and 6th of August look clean with cross-offshore winds, but again, the swell is non-existent (0.3ft to 0.7ft). It’s a total dead run.
So, honestly, there’s nothing to recommend here. No standout breaks, no good waves. The whole 16-day period is a bust for Hargen. Sometimes the ocean just shuts down, and this is one of those stretches. Keep your board waxed and wait for the next forecast.
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.
