The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Hargen over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is basically flat or close to it. There’s nothing that qualifies as a proper surf recommendation. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is nearly always side-on, onshore, or just plain messy. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with no real standouts. For this area, a blank run like this isn’t unusual – it’s just the way it goes sometimes.
The only time the ocean even shows a pulse is around Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of July. We get a bit of a bump from the NNW, with swell heights around 3ft to 3ft, and a period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range, but it’s all coming in with a fresh cross-onshore wind. That’s going to make for lumpy, choppy, poor surf at Hargen (a beach and breakwater setup). The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The following Saturday, the 25th, shows a little more energy from the WSW with 3ft, but again, the wind is cross-onshore and fresh. It’s not looking good. There’s a brief moment on the afternoon of the 24th where the wind goes offshore from the ESE with 2ft, but the period is only 3 seconds – that’s just windswell, too weak and disorganised to bother with.
Honestly, save your energy. The board stays in the car. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those days with a bit of breeze and chop. Nothing to get excited about.
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.
