I'm writing a story about a lost Numenorean colony in the far south of Harad but could someone please give me some names for the colony in Numenorean/Elvish I dont know

How about "Southport" or "Hyarlond". However, it occurs to me that this name was used in LoTR for a port in Gondor ("Sindarized" to Harlond). "Southwestport" would be something like Hyarralond. "Coast" translates to falas, so Hyarfalas (Harfalas) or Hyarrafalas might also be options.

Great minds think alike, Mithadan! You suggested what I would have - Hyarfalas! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
