Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a flat spell for Hargen. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf that stretches all the way from now, Monday the 13th of July, through to the end of the forecast period on the 28th. There’s not a single standout session in the entire sixteen-day window. The swell energy is weak throughout, barely scraping triple digits on the odd occasion, with most readings sitting below 100 – just tiny, inconsistent bumps. It’s a real bummer for a beach/breakwater setup.
The first week is particularly grim. Monday the 13th has a weak 2ft swell from the north with a short 7-second period, and a cross-shore wind. That combo gives us a moderate cross-chop and poor conditions. Tuesday the 14th is cleaner but the swell drops right off – tiny 1ft to 3ft with periods as low as 4 seconds. By Wednesday and Thursday the 15th and 16th, we’re down to a few inches of north-northwest swell. It’s just not worth paddling out.
There’s a slight bump in swell energy around the 18th and 19th, with 2ft to 3ft waves from the northwest, but the wind swings cross-onshore and fresh, making it lumpy and messy. Thursday the 22nd of July sees the biggest swell of the whole outlook – 4ft from the northwest – but it’s accompanied by a strong onshore wind at 19 to 22 mph, creating terrible conditions. The period is only 6 seconds, so it’s just a short, wind-affected mess. Not a surfer’s wave.
After that, it’s back to tiny drivel through to the 28th. The last day, Tuesday the 28th, shows a 1ft southwest swell on a cross-onshore breeze. For an exposed beach/breakwater spot like Hargen, that’s barely a ripple.
Given the persistent onshore and cross-off winds, combined with small swell, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are just no good surf options in the 16-day window. Hang in there – with a fairly consistent break like Hargen, it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can always change.

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.
