The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got on the cards. It's a quiet stretch ahead for our little corner of the coast. We're looking at a solid run of days where the ocean is just not cooperating, so don't be in a rush to grab your board.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a flat spell. From the start of the period right through to the second week of September, it’s pretty much a no-go. There's a long gap here with nothing worth paddling out for. The only flicker of life shows up on Wednesday, the 9th of September, but even then, it's not exactly firing.
Wednesday, September 9th, Morning – Harbor House
Alright, if you're desperate for a paddle, Wednesday morning is your best bet. We've got a little NNE swell coming in at 3 ft. It's a groundswell with a 10-second period, so it'll have a touch more push than the dribble we've been seeing, but don't expect any bombs. The combined energy is moderate at best (139). The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, which will keep the surface clean. For a breakwater spot that's fairly exposed, that offshore wind is a major plus, and with it being inconsistent, you might have it to yourself or just a few others (crowds are only sometimes a problem here).
The water is a touch warmer than normal at 87 °F, about average for the time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
Honestly, the surf is marginal, but it's the only game in town. Don't get your hopes up. For the rest of the week and into the next, we're looking at tiny, wind-affected slop or flat, glassy mornings with no energy. Save your energy.
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.
