Hey, Rusty again. Let’s break down the same outlook but in feet and miles per hour. Octagon House – a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, open to southeast swells. Over the next sixteen days, from Saturday the 4th of July through Sunday the 19th of July, there’s hardly any surf. Swell heights stay mostly knee-high or smaller – the biggest bump is a 3ft southeast swell on Thursday the 16th of July morning, but it’s only 6 seconds of period and the conditions are still ordinary. The combined energy never gets past 90, which is weak. Winds are cross or cross-onshore most days, making it choppy. A glassy window shows up on the morning of Sunday the 12th of July, but the swell is only 2ft and weak. The water’s running about 86°F, a touch warmer than normal. Bottom line: no decent waves in sight. Don’t sweat it – this spot can fire when the swell shows, so keep an eye on the charts.

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.
