The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hargen (beach/breakwater).
To be straight with you, the 16-day window doesn’t look like it’s gonna serve up any proper surf. I mean, the whole run is a bit of a write-off. The first day we’ve got records for is Tuesday, July 14th, but it’s a total dud. Tiny swell, messy wind, and not a single wave is worth paddling for. This flat spell just keeps on truckin’ through the whole period. From the 14th all the way to the 29th of July, there’s nothing that gets a recommendation. That’s a solid two-week gap with no good options.
The only time we see a little lift in the combined energy is around Saturday, July 18th, when it hits 108 (moderate energy) and the next day, Sunday, July 19th, with 145 to 160 (moderate energy). The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short period windswell, so it’s not gonna have that proper groundswell shape. It’s also comin’ in with a cross-onshore wind, 15 to 19 mph, so expect it to be choppy and lumpy. You’d need a pretty thick skin to enjoy that.
Because the swell is small and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the setup is a beach/breakwater, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no clean, rideable face for us.
The water temperature on the first day (July 14th) is 68°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly – much warmer than normal. So you could go for a swim, but don’t bother with the surfboard.
All in all, it’s a dry spell. For a break like Hargen, a blank run like this is just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
