Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for the Octagon House area, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s a flat spell. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in the entire forecast period. The finder is coming up empty, so we’re looking at a long stretch of nothing.
We start off Friday, July 3rd, with tiny 0.7ft swell from the ESE, period a shocker at 5 seconds, and a cross-on breeze. The combined energy is a measly 10 – that’s just weak. It’s a no-go. This pattern locks in. Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th, the whole first week, we’re stuck with swell heights between 0.3ft and 2ft, all from the south or southeast, with cross-onshore winds and periods that never get above 8 seconds. The energy stays in the single digits and low teens. It’s poor surf conditions, day after day.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Monday the 13th, we see a bit of a pulse with swell hitting 3ft from the SSE, period 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to 98 – still weak, but the biggest bump. But the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” Then by Wednesday the 15th, we get a nice change: a light NNW offshore wind in the morning. The swell is 2ft from the SE, period 7 seconds, energy 46. The wind state is clean, but the swell is just too small and weak to ride. Thursday the 16th morning goes glassy with a 1ft SE swell, but again, nothing to get excited about. The last day, Saturday the 18th, has a glassy morning with a 2ft SSW swell, period 5 seconds, energy 32. Clean conditions, yes, but the swell is short-period and weak.
In a setup like this with a beach or beach-and-reef break, you’d be better off with a kite on those days with stronger wind and small bump, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank run. Now, for the area, this kind of extended flat spell happens. It’s a normal part of the season. The water temperature is sitting at 85° and that’s 1° above average for this time of year, so it’s basically normal – warm as usual.
There’s no standout here. No day to circle on the calendar. We just have to wait for the next system to push something in. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
