Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hargen over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m gonna be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to love. We’re looking at the next 16 days for Hargen, a beach/breakwater setup, and honestly, there’s a big, empty gap right at the start.
The first real chance of anything gets going on Saturday the 25th of July. Before that, mate, it’s a write-off. We’re talking over a week and a half of tiny, weak, messy surf. Plenty of days with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, and swell energy barely registering – most readings are under 100 (weak energy). Not worth paddling out for. It’s a grim stretch.
Now, Saturday the 25th of July morning is where we finally get a glimmer. Swell picks up to 4ft coming from the West, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 177 (moderate). The real silver lining? Offshore wind from the ESE. That’s going to clean things right up, giving us gentle offshore and clean conditions. It’s not a monster swell, but that clean face will make it surfable. The ratings suggest it’s just surfable waves but very ordinary conditions, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be your best look in this entire run. Hargen is exposed to the NNW, so that West swell will wrap in okay. Expect it to be on the smaller side, but glassy. If you’re a beginner, 4ft is manageable. For what it’s worth, this is the standout.
That afternoon on the 25th, the wind swings to the ENE, becoming a cross-offshore breeze. Still clean wave faces, but the energy holds at 173 (moderate). It’s a good afternoon session if you missed the morning.
Sunday the 26th of July morning is a drop-off. Offshore wind from the SE is still clean, but the swell drops back to 2ft with weak energy. Not much to get excited about.
So, the takeaway: The first week and a half is a total bust. Point your focus to Saturday the 25th of July morning for the cleanest, most surfable waves on offer. It’s not pumping, but given the long dry spell, it’s the one to target.

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.
