Table - best surf conditions forecast for Harbor House over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one to write. We’ve got a patch of water that’s essentially flat and unfriendly for the next 16 days. There’s only one break in the mix, and it’s not doing us any favours.
Harbor House is the only game in town, and for this entire 16-day window, it’s a no-go. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, coming from the SE and E, and the periods are short – a measly 4 to 8 seconds. That’s just wind slop, not real surf. The combined swell energy is sitting in the weak range, so there’s no power behind these waves at all. The wind is mostly cross-on from the SE, which chops it up, and even when it goes glassy or clean on a few mornings, the swell just isn’t there to make it worthwhile. This spot is already inconsistent, and this run confirms it. For a beginner-friendly breakwater, it’s just not breaking.
The forecast shows nothing but “poor surf conditions” day after day. There’s a gap of no real surf from July 11th right through to July 26th. That’s a solid two-week blank. The only tiny flicker of hope is on July 26th morning, with a 3 ft swell from the ESE and some clean, cross-off wind, but the period is still short at 4 seconds and the energy is weak. It’s not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The winds are consistent and the water’s flat – if you’ve got a kite, you might have a better time. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
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. 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.
