The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

To be straight with you, this is pretty grim. We’re looking at Octagon House, and honestly, for the next two weeks, there’s nothing good. The entire 16-day window is a write-off. The swell barely gets a pulse, and when it does, it’s weak and short period. This area just goes flat like this sometimes, and this is one of those runs. You’d be better off waxing your sled and waiting.

Right now, on Monday the 7th, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft SSE swell with a period of only 5 seconds – that’s just a lake bump. The wind is a light onshore breeze from the SSE, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no energy. The combined energy is a pitiful 4. Water temp is 87°F, which feels about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Moving through the week, Tuesday the 8th gets even smaller, dropping to 0.3ft. A little glass-off on Wednesday morning the 9th gives you a moment of peace on a 1ft S swell, but it’s still a complete non-event. By Saturday the 12th, we nudge up to 2ft from the S, period at 5 seconds – combined energy hits 28, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.

The whole first week is like this. Tiny, weak, no power. You get a bit of a rise around Monday the 14th with 3ft SSE, but the period is still a poor 5 seconds, and the onshore wind makes it sloppy. Even the best moment, which is Saturday morning the 19th, sees a 3ft SE swell with an 11-second period – a bit of proper groundswell – and a cross-offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph. That might look clean for a second, but there’s just not enough size or consistency. Combined energy is 36. It’s still rated poor.

Into the second week it’s more of the same. We finish off on Tuesday the 22nd with 3ft SE, period still only 6 seconds, and the combined energy finally gets up to 70 – which is the highest all month – but it’s a choppy cross-onshore mess. Not a single standout. Not one day you’d call good.

If you absolutely had to pick the least terrible moment, I’d say keep an eye on that Saturday the 19th morning. The wind is actually working for you, and the 11-second period gives it a bit of shape, but it’s small and inconsistent. Even then, it’s only for those who just need to get wet.

There are no recommendations here. The surf’s just not happening. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid 16-day gap. Hang up the board and go clean the garage.

Rusty.

Information about the Octagon House Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Octagon House provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Octagon House can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Octagon 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 (Octagon 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 Octagon 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.
