Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming our way at Harbor House. I won’t sugarcoat it – this is shaping up to be a pretty flat and quiet stretch of days. We’ve got a long gap of no real surf action to start, so don’t bother paddling out yet. The first real pulse isn’t until several days down the line, and even then, it’s not going to blow your mind.

Looking right at the beginning, there’s nothing happening. We’re looking at tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft waves with weak energy (combined energy values in the single digits) and a lot of cross and cross-onshore wind. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. It’s a frustrating wait, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

We start to see a slow, sad build through the middle of next week. On the 9th of July, the swell bumps up to around 3 ft from the SE, but the period is a weak 5 seconds and winds are messy, cross-onshore. Pure chop. Combined energy finally creeps into the 30s and 40s, but that’s still weak energy. Not worth getting wet for.

By the 12th of July, the swell might hit 3 ft from the SE, but again, short period at 4 seconds and lousy cross-onshore wind. The surf quality is still poor. This pattern of onshore and cross-onshore wind just won’t let up.

The one glimmer, and I mean a dim one, comes around the 20th of July. We see a slightly bigger pulse of 3 ft from the ESE with a 5-second period, and the wind might swing onshore from the ESE. It’s still not clean by any stretch. The combined energy is moderate at 41, but with no decent wind and short period, it’s a pass for paddle surfing. This setup is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, what’s the pick? There isn’t one. There are no standouts in this 16-day window. Harbor House is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch proves it. The best advice I can give is to leave the board at home, check the forecasts again in a few days, and keep hoping for a change. For this spot, it often stays poor for a while, but things can turn around.

That’s it from me. Stay patient.
Rusty

Information about the Harbor House Surf forecast

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

Harbor House is 6 km (4 miles) from North Miami Beach. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in North Miami Beach. North Miami Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
