The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be real. Looking at the next 16 days for Harbor House, it’s a dusty stretch. From Thursday, July 23rd all the way to Friday, August 7th, there’s pretty much nothing to surf. That’s a flat spell of over two weeks. For a break that's inconsistent anyway, this is kind of the norm around here when the ocean shuts down.
Let’s break it down.
Thursday, July 23rd starts with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, a short 4-second period, and an ENE wind at 12 mph making it choppy and messy. The wave energy is weak (20). Not worth the wetsuit.
Friday, July 24th gets even smaller, down to 1ft from the east, 8-second period. A 9 mph ESE breeze keeps it bumpy. Energy is 23.
Saturday, July 25th bumps back to 2ft in the morning from the SE, but a 9 mph cross-onshore wind keeps it bumpy. Drops to 1ft in the afternoon.
Sunday, July 26th is the first clean day with a light 6 mph SW cross-offshore wind. But the swell is only 1ft, 8 seconds from the east. Energy is a pathetic 13. It’s clean but dead flat.
From Monday, July 27th through Saturday, August 2nd, the swell stays tiny, from 0.7ft to 2ft. We get a few clean mornings with light offshore winds, like on Friday, August 1st (W wind at 6 mph) and Saturday, August 2nd (WSW wind at 12 mph), but there’s zero power behind it.
The closest thing to surf comes late. On Sunday, August 2nd afternoon, the swell hits 3ft from the ESE, 5-second period. The wind goes offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, giving you clean lines. The wave energy is still weak (34). A complete beginner might find a tiny, clean bump, but that’s about it.
After that, it’s back to flatness. From August 3rd to August 7th, the swell drops to nearly nothing. The final morning on Friday, August 7th is glassy, but the swell is only 0.3ft. You could water-ski, but not surf.
So, no standouts at all. The water temp is average for this time of year. It’s a total dead run. Don’t bother. Go for a hike or something. Forecasts can always shift, though.

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.
