The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for your local spot.
First up, we’re talkin’ Harbor House. This breakwater setup is about as beginner-friendly as it gets, but honestly, the whole 16-day window looks flat and frustrating. There’s a real gap of no decent surf here from now right through to the end. We’re lookin’ at a whole lotta nothing for day after day.
Starting off on Sunday the 26th of July, it’s tiny – only 0.3m of weak east swell with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 14, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms with a cross-off wind. Just poor surf all around. Monday the 27th doesn’t get any better, with 0.2m and the same weak energy (9). Tuesday the 28th? Still 0.2m and nothing to write home about. This scrap continues day after day with swell rarely sneaking above 0.5m, and the wind keeps switching around, mostly cross-off or cross-on, keeping things messy.
By Thursday the 30th of July afternoon, we get a tiny bump to 0.7m from the south, but the period is a snappy 4 seconds and the energy only reaches 20 – still poor. Even a bit of offshore wind on Friday the 31st of July morning can’t save it, with only 0.1m of swell. The whole stretch feels like a write-off.
By August 1st, we’re into cross-shore winds and the same tiny 0.3m east swell. The second week stays flat and hopeless. The swell direction is completely off for this spot, and we see onshore winds from the east and southeast dominating. The combined energy never breaks triple digits, staying weak throughout. There is simply nothing to recommend. For a breakwater that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t bother paddling out; you’ll just get frustrated. The forecasts can always change, but right now this is a solid no-go.
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.
