Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Rusty here. Harlyn’s not giving us much – sheltered, inconsistent, and often packed when there’s a wave. Right now, water temp is 63°F, a little warmer than average.
First window: Wednesday morning July 8th – glassy, 2ft of weak WNW swell (energy 88), but it’s tiny and average. Then nothing but onshore slop. Best chance comes Saturday July 18th: 5ft from the west, short 6-second period, but clean cross-off in the morning and glassy by afternoon. Energy hits 143–153 – still only moderate. Not great, but it’s the pick of a bad lot. Monday July 20th brings 7–8ft of WNW swell (energy up to 595), but cross-shore wind and short period wreck the shape. Too big for beginners, messy for everyone else.
Honestly, a blank run is pretty normal here. Not much to get excited about. Stay tuned – forecasts can shift.

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.
