Right, grab a coffee, because this stretch coming up is a tough one for Octagon House. I'm looking at the next couple of weeks and honestly, there's nothing firing. We've got a long dry spell to start off – a whole week of flat, poor conditions. The water's sitting at a warm 86°, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year thanks to a 1° anomaly, but that doesn't help the waves.
The first glimmer of something rideable doesn't show up until Monday morning, July 13. That's a solid week away. For that morning we've got a little 4ft SE swell rolling in, with a period around 7 seconds – short-period windswell, so nothing with any grunt. The combined energy is moderate at 112. But the wind is the saving grace: glassy light cross-offshore from WSW at just 3 mph. That'll keep it clean. It's surfable but very ordinary – a small, weak wave for beginners to practice pop-ups on. It's not a standout by any stretch.
Tuesday morning, July 14, is similar: 3ft SSE swell, same short period, but the combined energy drops to weak (96). Offshore wind from NW at 6 mph keeps it clean again. Another marginal window.
Wednesday morning, July 15, offers a repeat – 3ft SSE, 7 seconds, moderate energy at 111, with light cross-offshore WNW at 3 mph. Still just surfable, not good.
After those three mornings, it's back to poor conditions through the rest of the second week. Crowds might be light at Octagon House given the lack of quality, but even on those rare clean mornings, the wave is small and weak. For an exposed beginner spot, this is just one of those flat spells. The direction is right – SE is what it wants – but the period is too short and the size too small to get excited about. No standouts here. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it can turn around, but right now it's a waiting game.
