Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at the Hargen stretch over the next couple of weeks. I tell you what, this is a lean run. Expect a long, quiet stretch up front with nothing worth paddling for.
The first sign of any kind of swell shows up on the morning of July 22nd. That’s over a week away with nothing but flat or super weak junk in between. From now until then, you’re looking at a lot of clean but flat water, or tiny windswell that’s just not worth getting wet for. The afternoons are mostly blown out with cross-shore breezes anyway.
Let’s talk about the one period that even gets a sniff of a wave. On Wednesday, July 22nd, the morning looks like the best of a very average bunch. Hargen is a beach/breakwater setup, and we’ve got a 4ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (170). The wind is a light breeze from the east, keeping it clean with cross-off conditions. Now, 4ft is a fun size, not too big for most, but with that period being short, it’s going to be a bit walled-off and won’t have much punch. Still, it’s the only window where the surf is actually surfable, with a clean surface. The afternoon bumps up to 4ft, energy ticks up to 197, and the wind stays light, but the quality is still “ordinary” at best.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no warm or cold surprises.
After that, it’s back to the poor house. The 23rd sees a bump in wind, and by the 24th, a cross-on breeze from the west messes things up. The 27th rolls in with a near gale and a 4ft cross-shore mess. That’s a pass for surfing, but if you’ve got a kite, that gusty southwest wind at 31 mph might be your kind of fun.
Truth is, for a paddler, there’s no standout here. The 22nd morning is the only one you’d even consider, and even then, it’s not going to get the heart racing. Hang tight, or check the forecast again in a few days.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
