The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Harbor House. Gotta be straight with you—this stretch of coast is lookin' flat, tired, and honestly, a bit of a write-off for the next 16 days.
We’ve got a long gap right from the start. No surf worth paddling out for. The whole first week is a dud. We’re looking at tiny, weak energy with swell heights barely reaching 1ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up an already sad little sea. The period is short, under 9 seconds, and the combined energy readings are all in the double digits—weak, weak, weak. On Thursday the 3rd, the water temp is sitting at 87°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s a touch warmer than average for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
Even the few glassy moments, like Monday morning the 7th and Sunday morning the 13th, are on swells so small (0.7ft to 2ft) that you’d be bobbing on a lake. The break is a breakwater setup, inconsistent, and only really exposed to east swell, which is what we’re getting, but there’s just no size or power behind it.
The best of a bad bunch is a tiny window on Wednesday the 9th. The combined energy climbs to 113 (moderate) and the swell pushes to 2ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds. But the wind is onshore from the ENE at 12 mph, so it’s gonna be bumpy. Thursday the 10th morning has a similar 2ft NNE swell with a period of 10 seconds and energy at 100, but the wind is still onshore. Not a standout, just the least bad.
After that, it fades again. The second week is nothing but flat, weak, and mostly onshore junk. The 18th of September sees a little 2ft pulse from the east but with a 4-second period and onshore wind—absolute mush.
Honestly, this is a blank run. For a breakwater spot like Harbor House, when the swell and wind don’t line up, there’s just nothing to do. If you’re lookin’ for a paddle, maybe bring a kite. The forecasts can change, and it won’t stay this poor forever, but for now, I’d leave the boards in the van.
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.
