Table - best surf conditions forecast for Harbor House over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s be straight about Harbor House. I’ve run through everything, and it’s a dry spell for the foreseeable future. This breakwater spot catches a bit of swell, and it likes it from the east, but that’s just not happening.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. You’re looking at a solid 11-day stretch starting now with nothing but poor, tiny surf and onshore junk. A blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area when the alignment is off. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing special.
The only tiny window comes on Saturday, July 18th, in the morning. The wind finally shifts to a light cross-offshore from the SSW, and we get a “clean” report. Swell is a modest 4ft from the SE, but the period is short at 5 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless. The energy reading hits 97, which is barely moderate. It’s rideable, but just barely. If you’ve got the itch, that’s your one chance. The Sunday morning the 19th is a repeat—cleaner air, but still tiny surf.
Forget the rest. It’s all onshore chop and flat spells. Even for a beginner break, these are sad numbers.
Don’t bother waxing up just yet. Hang tight and wait for a better forecast.

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.
