Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hargen over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get real about Hargen. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. This is a beach/breakwater setup, and it’s just not getting any love from the ocean. There’s a big gap right at the start, with no real surf on offer until the swell tries to find its feet.
We kick off on Friday, July 10th, with nothing but tiny, weak waves. Morning sees a pathetic 0.7ft from the north, and a short period of 6 seconds, with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is a measly 3 – basically flat. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore breeze and the swell stays tiny at 1ft. This sets the pattern for the next several days: tiny, poor surf with cross-shore winds. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are more of the same – 0.3ft to 2ft, with the combined energy struggling to hit even 52 on Sunday. The wind is a problem, always cross or cross-off, keeping it messy.
Monday the 13th is a bit cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is still tiny at 2ft to 2ft from the north. The energy is weak (27 to 43). It’s clean, but you’d be scratching for a ride. The rest of that week, right through to the 17th, is a write-off – tiny waves, poor conditions, and the wind just won’t cooperate. There’s a run of several days with nothing at all, and the combined energy is often in single digits.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one, comes late in the window. Look at Wednesday, July 22nd. We finally see a bit of a pulse – 3ft from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 77, which is still weak, but it’s the highest we’ll see. The problem is the wind. It’s a cross-onshore westerly, 15 mph, making it choppy. This is a beach/breakwater, and with that wind and small, short-period swell, it’s going to be a messy, lumpy affair. Honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a beginner, it’s fine size-wise, but the chop will be a handful.
The following days, the 24th and 25th, drop back to flatness. So, the best of a bad bunch is that Wednesday the 22nd, but it’s not one to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

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.
