Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the Octagon House (Octagon) area.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. We’ve got a pretty grim run of conditions for paddle surfing for the next couple of weeks, and the charts are calling it "poor surf conditions" across the board for the entire 16-day window. The wave energy is consistently weak, with combined swell energy values well under 100 (6 to 95), which tells you there's just no punch in the water.
Starting from Saturday, July 4th, and right through to Sunday, July 19th, it’s a long, flat, and messy period. The swell is tiny—mostly between 0.3 ft and 3 ft—and coming from the south. The period is short, under 8 seconds, so it’s just local wind slop rather than any proper groundswell. The winds are a constant issue too, mostly cross-shore to cross-onshore, and sometimes straight onshore, which chops up what little surf there is. It’s just not worth paddling out.
Even the days where the swell tries to nudge up—like Thursday, July 16th, with 5 ft swell, or Friday, July 17th, with 7 ft from the south—the winds are still onshore, and the combined wave energy (155 to 491) might be moderate, but the quality is shot. At that size, with those winds, it’s only for experts, and even they’d find it a trough. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during that windy patch.
The water temperature was a touch warmer than normal—86°—back on Saturday morning, July 4th, but that’s about the only positive. There are no standout days. No clean windows. No good wind. You're looking at a blank run that lasts the full 16 days. This area tends to have quiet spells, so this is more normal for the region. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
