Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Hargen is as flat as a pancake for the next 16 days. There are no good surf options on the table. I’ve scanned every session from now through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, and every single one of them is a “poor surf conditions” call.
The problem is threefold. First, the swell is tiny. We’re looking at a combined wave energy that never even creeps into the low hundreds – it’s mostly in the single or double digits, with the highest reading being a weak 111 (on Tuesday afternoon the 7th). That’s barely a ripple. Second, the wind is a constant issue. Even on the rare occasions it turns offshore, like on Friday morning the 17th or Sunday afternoon the 19th, the swell is too small to make anything of it, with heights of only 1ft to 2ft and periods that are mostly short and weak. Third, the break itself is a beach/breakwater setup with an exposed aspect, but it’s simply not receiving any decent groundswell.
For a location that’s “fairly consistent”, this is a surprisingly bleak run. It happens sometimes. The water temperature isn’t mentioned, so we can’t get into that. Frankly, the only time the wind is strong enough and the surf big enough to be interesting would be more for kite surfing than paddle surfing. I’d say save the gas and wait for the charts to change. Forecasts can turn around.
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.
