The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about this stretch. The truth is, there’s basically nothing on the table for the next two weeks. The numbers are grim, and the energy is flat. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead.
Starting with Harbor House, this breakwater spot is usually a beginner-friendly option, but it’s barely showing a pulse. It’s inconsistent and only fairly exposed, so it needs a lot of help to get going. The entire 16-day run is a bust.
From Monday, the 20th of July, right through to the first week of August, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 3 ft, with a short, weak period. The wind is a mess, too – mostly cross or cross-onshore, chopping things up. The combined energy is pathetic, stuck between 7 and 41 (weak energy), which is just no good for a paddle.
There’s a glimmer of glassy conditions on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July, with clean skies and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still 0.7 ft. It’s flat, clean, and flat. Not a wave to be had.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing strange there.
The best of a bad bunch is probably the morning of the 1st of August, where we see the swell bump up to 3 ft from the SE, with a period of 4 seconds. The energy is still weak at 34, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’ll be bumpy. It’s still a poor surf day, but it’s the most movement we’ll see. Honestly, for a beginner, this is a pass. For anyone else, it’s a kite-surfing setup at best, given the small, weak, cross-shore bumps.
So, what’s the call? There’s no standout. The whole window is a quiet one. It’s a blank run, which isn’t unusual for this area. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next weather system.

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.
