Alright, I’ll be honest, mate – this stretch is flat as a pancake. No decent surf options at all in the whole 16-day window. We’re looking at a dry spell from start to finish.
The only break we’ve got data on is Octagon House – a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the SE. Water temp is about 85°F, with an anomaly of 1°F – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
From July 3rd right through to July 18th, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. Starting Friday afternoon the 3rd – a tiny 0.3ft SE swell at 9 seconds, combined wave energy a weak 4 – with a light onshore breeze. Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th, Monday the 6th… all tiny bumps, mostly cross-on or onshore wind, energy readings barely above single digits.
We see a little bump around July 12th – Sunday morning has 3ft from the SSE at 6 seconds, combined energy hitting 57 – but the wind is still cross-on from the SSE at 12 mph, so it’s choppy. Even when energy climbs on July 13th – Monday morning with 3ft SSE, 8-second period, combined energy hitting 103 – the wind is cross-shore from the SW at 12 mph, leaving a cross-chop. Still poor.
Nothing breaks 3ft in swell height, no decent period, and the wind is never clean. The best we see is July 18th – Saturday morning with 3ft S swell at 5 seconds, but it’s still cross-on. Not worth it.
With this small, weak, choppy setup and onshore winds, it’s more of a kite-surfing situation than paddle surfing. For us surfers, it’s a waiting game. This area tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep checking. But for now, leave the board at home.

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.
