The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s size up the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bleak picture. The whole 16-day run, from August 7th through the 22nd, is a total flat spell. There’s no surf worth getting wet for. It’s just day after day of poor conditions, cross-onshore winds, and tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy barely gets into the moderate zone, maxing out at a paltry 102 on Friday afternoon the 7th, but that’s still with a messy cross-onshore breeze. Most of the time, the energy is weak, sitting well under 100.
The only spot on the list is Harbor House, a breakwater that’s inconsistent and only for beginners. The swell is tiny, never topping 3 ft out of the East or Southeast, with a short period mostly between 4 and 8 seconds. The wind is constantly cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and ugly. Water temp is around 86°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
There’s not a single standout day. Not one clean, glassy window. If the wind was stronger and the waves had a bit more punch, you might call it a kite-surfing spot, but even that’s a stretch.
Sometimes a blank run like this is just how it goes. Don’t fight it. Forecasts can change, but for now, stash the board.
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.

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.
