Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Octagon House has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this stretch isn't looking pretty for a while. We're looking at a long, dry spell. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf. From Saturday, July 4th, right through to about Sunday, July 12th, we're looking at tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. The waves are barely breaking, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, messing up what little is there. You'll be fighting a cross-chop more than riding a wave. It's a pretty grim run of flat, messy water.
Now, things start to get a little more interesting from Monday, July 13th. The swell size starts to nudge up and we see some energy start to build, with combined energy readings moving into the moderate range, like a reading of 138. The wind stays a bit tricky, though, still mostly cross-onshore and making things choppy. For most of that week, the waves are in that 3 ft to 4 ft range, but the wind and the short period (4 to 7 seconds) just aren't doing it any favours. It's still considered poor surf. You'd be battling shifty, weak peaks and windblown faces.
We do get a bit of a bump in size around Tuesday, July 14th, with swell pushing 6 ft from the ESE and combined energy hitting 251. That's a moderate amount of power, but again, the wind is still onshore and the period is short. That kind of combo at a beach break will just be a crumbly, bumpy mess. More of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest. The waves are strong enough, but the quality just isn't there for the rider.
The forecast then fades back out toward the second weekend, dropping back under 3 ft with poor conditions and onshore winds. Overall, I can't point you to any standout days or even a decent window here. It's a long, slow run of poor conditions for Octagon House. We just have to hope the long-range charts start looking better because right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
So, for now, it's a waiting game. Keep your gear waxed and your eyes on the sky. Things can change.

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.

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.
