Table - best surf conditions forecast for Octagon House over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the outlook for the coming days is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We've got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but right from the get-go, it's looking pretty darn quiet.
Starting from Sunday the 12th of July and running all the way through to Monday the 27th of July, there's just no surf on the table that's worth getting excited about. The wave heights are hanging around that 1ft to 4ft mark, but the real killer is the wind. We're seeing a constant cross-onshore or onshore breeze from the south and southeast, which is just chopping everything up. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting between 19 and 88 all period, so there's just no power in the water. It's a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" with nothing to recommend.
To be honest, for a spot like Octagon House, this looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, especially on those windier afternoons. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but you wouldn't know it with the lack of waves.
We're looking at a blank run here for the full 16 days. It’s a bummer, but it happens. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap. Hang tough, keep an eye on the forecasts, and hopefully, things will perk up.
Rusty.

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.
