The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Octagon House over this next stretch. I gotta be straight with you—the outlook is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf to get excited about. From now all the way through the next week and a bit, it's a real bust. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and often coming in with some cross or onshore breeze that's just gonna mess up any chance of a clean wave. You'll be spending more time sitting on your board than riding anything. We're talking weeks of flatness, especially from tomorrow right through until around the second week of September, with only the faintest pulses of energy poking through. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't feel it much when you're just bobbing around.
The first real glimmer of something, and I mean a tiny glimmer, shows up on the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. We get a bit of glassy conditions, with the wind dropping off completely. The swell is still nothing to write home about, just a 2 ft from the SSE, but that clean, flat surface is the best we'll see. That's the standout period, but only because everything else is so poor. The combined swell energy is still weak at a measly 20.
Following that, into the 9th and 10th, we get a little more push from the ESE, but the wind gets messy again, and the surf quality is still poor. It's the same story: small, weak, and choppy. For the beginner crowd, this is a safe spot when it's small, but the lack of any real swell makes it a tough call. Honestly, with such light, clean conditions but no swell on the 8th, you might have better luck on a longboard or a SUP just enjoying the water. It's really a wait-and-see situation. The forecast can always flip, but as it stands, don't plan your week around it.
Rusty.
