The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a look at the 16-day forecast, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a rough one. There’s a big fat gap at the start with no real surf to speak of. The first day we even see anything worth mentioning isn't until Sunday the 19th of July, and even then it’s a write-off.
From Sunday the 19th right through to the end of this period, the conditions at Hargen (Hargen) are consistently poor. The swell is small and weak, with a combined energy that rarely gets above a moderate level (222 at its best on Sunday morning), and most of the time it’s sitting in the low double or single digits. The wind is almost always a cross-onshore mess, churning things up into a lumpy, choppy state. Even when the wind does swing offshore on the 1st of August, the swell is tiny at 2.6 ft, so it’s clean but not surfable. The water temperature is a very unusual 68.7°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this whole window. The swell direction is mostly out of the NNW, never hitting the optimum northwest direction that this spot wants. The period is often short, under 8 seconds, meaning weak, poorly formed waves. For any surfer looking for a paddle, this is a total blank. This stretch of flat, messy conditions is unfortunately pretty normal for this area when the wind and swell don’t line up. The only thing that might get some interest is if a kite surfer wants to play in the wind on the 30th of July or the 3rd of August, because the surf setup is just too poor for a board and paddle.

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.
