Table - best surf conditions forecast for Octagon House over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Looking at the 16-day window for Octagon House, I gotta be honest with ya – it’s a tough one. There’s just nothing happening that gets me excited. The entire forecast is a flat, choppy mess with no real standouts. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions and minimal energy, so don’t expect to be blown away.
For the first few days, we’ve got tiny swell with combined energy readings barely hitting 30-80, which is weak. The swell is coming from the SE at a short period of 5-7 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell stuff. It’s not going to wrap in with any power. The water temperature is about average for July, so nothing unusual there.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out is on Tuesday morning, 14th July. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the SSE, but the wind is glassy from the WNW. That’s the only time the conditions look clean, even if the waves are weak. The combined energy is just 71, so don’t expect much push. It’s surfable, but only just.
After that, it’s back to a mess. From Wednesday, 15th July, right through until the end of the month, we’re locked into onshore winds from the SE and S, blowing at 12-15 mph. The swell stays between 2ft and 3ft, with periods of 4-7 seconds. The combined energy never gets above 69, and it’s mostly cross-on or onshore, creating choppy, crumbly conditions. The setup here is a beach break, so with this onshore wind and small swell, it looks more like a day for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
The last week of July is a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is relentless from the S, and the energy is pathetic. Saturday, 26th July, for example, is just 3ft from the S at 5 seconds with 12 mph wind. It’s a solid blank run.
So, bottom line: there is no good surf on offer in the 16-day window. The area is pretty flat and wind-affected, and this kind of run is normal for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep the board in the car and wait for a better day.
Rusty.
