The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. This is a rough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Hargen, I gotta say, it’s a real flat spell. There are no standout days, no solid swell windows to get excited about. The run starts with nothing decent on offer, and it basically stays that way right through to the end. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with a gap of days where there’s just no surf worth paddling out for.
The first bit of any real note doesn’t kick in until Saturday the 18th of July, and even then, it’s a struggle. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the NNW, but that’s with a short period of 7 seconds and a cross-on wind. The combined energy is weak at 88, and it’s just a cloudy, choppy mess. The water temp is a warm 69°F, which is 7°F above normal – that’s very unusual for the time of year, but it won’t help the waves.
If you’re desperate, Sunday the 19th pushes up a little to 4ft, also from the NNW, but the period is still short at 8 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-on. The energy is moderate at 188, but the “fresh cross-onshore and lumpy” comment tells you all you need to know. It’s not clean, it’s not fun.
The biggest height we see is on Thursday the 23rd of July, with a 4ft swell from the NNW. The period is still only 8 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-on. The energy hits 237, which is moderate, but the conditions are “poor surf conditions” across the board. It’s just too messy.
For the rest of the window, from the 24th of July all the way to the 2nd of August, it’s a steady decline. Swell heights drop under 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is never in a good spot. It’s a dead run. The best you can hope for is a little bump on the 26th of July with a 4ft swell from the NW, but the wind is onshore and the energy is moderate at 118. Not a day to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a classic blank run for a beach/breakwater setup. It’s normal for the area to go through these quiet spells. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. You’d be better off doing something else with your time.

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.
