The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Hargen.
To be honest, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at sixteen days, and the whole window is pretty flat. The first record is for Saturday morning, July 25, but even then it’s barely a bump – a weak 1ft swell from the WNW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a meagre 14, which is nothing to write home about. And the wind is onshore from the west at 12 mph, making things messy. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s notably warm, but it’s not going to help the surf.
Through the rest of July 25, all the way into August 9, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There are no standouts. The swell heights rarely get above 3ft, periods are short and choppy, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. On Wednesday morning, July 29, we get a nice light offshore from the ESE, but the swell is only 0.7ft with an 8-second period – there’s just no energy to work with. The combined energy is only 8.
We see a tiny pulse on Sunday morning, August 9, with a 3ft swell from the NW at 5 seconds, and the energy climbs to 99 – the best of the whole forecast. But wind is a cross-onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’ll be chopped up. That afternoon the swell bumps to 3ft from the NW with a 7-second period, energy at 99 again, but again the wind is a cross-onshore from the north at 12 mph. It’s never clean enough, and the swell is too weak and short-period to really offer anything for a traditional surf.
Given that Hargen is a beach/breakwater setup, and the conditions are mostly small, onshore chop, if you’re really itching to get wet, this setup is actually more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle board. There’s just no quality surf on offer for the entire 16 day run. It’s a long, blank stretch.
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.
