Alright, let’s chew the fat about Harlyn. Rusty here, and it’s not looking pretty for a wave. The water temp is pretty standard for the time of year, nothing special.
The general story is that we’ve got a whole lot of nothing for a long, long time. From now until the 23rd of July, there’s a massive dry spell. The swell energy is basically non-existent, always below 130 (90), just a pathetic little hum.
Most of the forecast shows waves from 1.0 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore, so the surface is junk. The only thing worth a mention comes on the morning of Friday, July 10th. The wind will be glassy, and you’ll see a weak 3 ft swell from the west at a 9-second interval. It’s nothing special, but it will be clean. The break can get "often" packed, but on a tiny day like that, you’ll be the only one out.
Beyond that Friday morning, it’s a total bust. The wind cranks up from the east and north-east in the second week, blowing a solid 28 mph on the 21st and 22nd. That's more for the kite surfers than anyone else. You get a weird spike on Thursday, July 23rd morning, with energy jumping to 327, but it’s a short-period, 6 ft north swell. Hard to get excited about that in a sheltered corner.
So, bottom line: it’s flat, and it’s staying flat for the full 16-day run. Save the petrol.

Information about the Harlyn Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Harlyn provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Harlyn can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Harlyn 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 (Harlyn) 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 Harlyn 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.
