The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve been staring at the charts for Hargen and, well, it’s a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a whisper of a decent wave. The entire stretch is a wasteland of small, weak, and choppy conditions. There’s a real gap here from now until the start of August, with nothing worth paddling out for. The only faint glimmer comes right at the very tail end of the forecast, but it’s still a long shot. Let’s break it down.
The first few days are a total write-off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July have some small swell, around 1 ft to 3 ft, but it’s coming from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds and the wind is all wrong. It’s cross-on and choppy, meaning the wave energy is weak (68 to 11). The water temperature is 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
We then hit a long, flat spell from the 25th of July all the way through to the 2nd of August. Swell heights drop to 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft with periods as low as 3 seconds. The combined energy is tiny, barely hitting double digits (3 to 9). The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making for a messy, frustrating scene. Even the few moments of clean offshore wind on the 29th and 30th of July can’t save it because the swell is just too small.
The one day that might almost be worth a look is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning shows a tiny pulse of 3 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 66, which is still weak but better than anything else. The problem is the wind, a light cross-on from the NW, which will keep it bumpy. This is the best of a bad bunch, but for a beach break setup, the short period and choppy wind mean it’s likely to be a frustrating, weak mess.
So, the honest truth is, there’s no standout session here. The entire 16-day window is a dud for Hargen. The forecast is grim, and it’s looking like a solid run of flatness. But around here, it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t hold your breath.
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.

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.
