The Lowdown
Howdy, it’s Rusty. Let’s keep it real about Harbor House – the next 16 days are a total bust for any proper surf. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem day. Just flat, crumbly, and generally disappointing conditions.
It starts on Wednesday morning, July 29th. Tiny 0.7 ft waves from the east, a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 9. The wind is a light cross-offshore, but there’s just nothing to ride. That afternoon the wind kicks up to 18 mph. Thursday the 30th sees a little bump to 2 ft from the south in the afternoon, but with a terrible 4-second period and cross-shore wind, it’s a messy, choppy affair. Friday is flat in the morning, then a weak 2 ft pulse in the afternoon with more cross-shore wind.
The weekend is a write-off. Saturday, August 1st, has 0.7 ft swell with light winds in the morning, but no power. Sunday through the next week is just more chop and increasing onshore flow.
We get a tiny spike on Wednesday, August 5th, with 3 ft from the east-southeast, but the period is still only 4 seconds. The energy is a lousy 38, and it’s onshore wind. You’d be battling the texture, not surfing. The biggest all-around comes Thursday, August 6th afternoon: 3 ft from the east, 5-second period, and energy hits just 60. With rain and onshore wind, it’s a complete no-go for clean waves. Friday the 7th is a total wind-blown mess with 25 mph northerlies.
The second week stays flat and grovelly – tiny waves, short periods, and cross-onshore breezes. Harbor House is an inconsistent break, and this 16-day stretch shows why. Don’t waste time with the board; it’s one of those rare completely blank runs for the area. Keep an eye out, though – things can change. Rusty out.

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.
