Table - best surf conditions forecast for Octagon House over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Octagon House is a tough one. There's nothing you'd call a proper surf session on the books. The first solid chance of a wave doesn't even show up until Tuesday the 14th, and even then, it's barely a whisper.
We're looking at a long, dry spell with next to no swell. The water's sitting at a warm 86°F around here, a touch warmer than average for July, so at least the paddle out won't be a shock to the system. But that's about the only positive.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 9th through Monday the 13th? Forget it. Tiny, weak swell from the SSE with messy cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is pathetic, barely registering. It's just not worth the drive.
Tuesday the 14th morning is the only real glimmer. A tiny 2ft SE swell sneaks in with a period of 6 seconds. The wind goes light NNW and offshore, promising a clean surface. The data calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I can't argue. For a beginner, maybe a chance to paddle around, but anyone else is going to be bored silly.
Then the window slams shut again. Wednesday the 15th through the rest of the month is a relentless parade of weak, onshore slop. Swell stays below 2ft, winds are all over the place but mostly from the S or SSE, and the energy is pitiful. Even a glassy morning on Saturday the 18th can't do anything with a 1ft, 11-second groundswell – that's barely a ripple.
There's no standout here, no hidden gem. The best of a bad lot is that Tuesday morning, but don't get your hopes up. The whole setup is so small and wind-affected it'd be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. This is just one of those blank runs for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a no-go.
Rusty.
