The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Harbor House is looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for any hero waves.
The water temp is sitting at a balmy 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you can have a nice float.
Starting out on Tuesday, July 14th, we’ve got pretty much nothing. Tiny 0.7ft swell from the east with a short 8-second period, and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a scratchy, rippled mess. The combined energy is a measly 13, so there’s just no power in the water. That theme carries through Wednesday and into Thursday. Thursday morning, July 16th, does go glassy for a moment, with a 1ft NE swell, but it’s still just too small to do anything with. The whole first week is a write-off for any real surfing.
We hit a bit of a dry spell there – nothing worth recommending at all for the first 8 days. The swell tries to pick up a little around Monday, July 27th, and Tuesday, July 28th. We see the swell height bump up to 2ft and 3ft, coming from the ESE, with a slightly better 5-second period. The combined energy climbs to 46 on Tuesday morning, which is still weak but at least there’s a pulse. The wind is onshore, though, so expect it to be lumpy and unappealing. It’s still not good surf.
Look, for a breakwater spot that’s inconsistent and only a beginner level, there’s just nothing to get excited about here. The swell direction from the east is what it wants, but the size and power are just missing. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a paddle on a stand-up board than a surfboard right now. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for the next two weeks, Harbor House is a solid pass.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
