The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the forecast for Harbor House. To be straight with you, it's looking pretty quiet out there for a while. We've got a long stretch with nothing worthwhile on the cards. From now until early September, the surf is mostly tiny and blown out by onshore winds. There are some storm risks in the mornings, but they aren't bringing any real swell, just messy conditions. The water temp is sitting around 87.4°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of anything rideable doesn't show up until Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. Now, this isn't a classic, but it's the best we've got. The swell is small but clean from the NNE, pushing in at about 2 ft with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, reading 93. The real sweetener here is the light offshore wind from the SW, making it clean. It's still a bit inconsistent, and you won't be pulling into anything heavy, but for a mellow session at Harbor House, it'll be the only time you're not fighting the chop.
The rest of that week and into mid-September, the wind stays messy. You get a bit of a weird cross-off puff on the 9th morning, but the afternoon gets chopped right up. There's a tiny window of glassy conditions on the morning of the 12th of September, but the swell is next to nothing at 0.7 ft. So really, if you've got an itch, the stand-out (and only real) session is that Wednesday morning, the 9th. Get it while it lasts.

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.
