The Lowdown
Rusty here, checkin' in on the home break. It's gonna be a quiet one, folks.
We've got a long stretch of flatness ahead. The first real chance of a wave isn't until around Wednesday, September 9th. From now until then, it's barely a ripple – 0.7ft to 1ft at best, with combined swell energy in the single digits. You'll be paddling for nothing.
Wednesday the 9th morning brings a tiny pulse to 1ft from the NE, with a 9-second period and energy just touching 44. The wind is light onshore from the ESE, so it'll be a bit bumpy. Water temp is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than usual. It's not good, but it's the best we've got.
Thursday the 10th is similar – 2ft from the NNE, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the wind stays cross-onshore, making it choppy. Energy hits 55, but it's still weak and messy.
After that, we're in the wilderness from the 11th all the way to the 21st. Swell stays tiny, rarely getting above 2ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Around the 15th we get some ENE swell up to 3ft, but with a terrible 5-second period, it's just a weak, crumbly mess. The energy gets up to 42, but with the wind, it's unsurfable.
If you're looking for the best of a bad bunch, it's that Wednesday the 9th morning. The swell direction from the NE isn't perfect for Harbor House (it prefers straight East), but it's the biggest and most clean we'll see. For a beginner spot, it's something to wet your line. For anyone else, it's a hard pass. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
This is a long, flat spell. The lack of consistent swell and the persistent onshore wind are just killing it. Don't expect much for the next two weeks.
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.
