Hey folks, Rusty here again. I’m going to be honest – this 16-day stretch for Octagon House is a real bummer. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always in the wrong direction, and the waves are just weak.
From Tuesday, July 7th through the weekend of the 12th, you’re looking at wave heights from about 0.3ft to 3ft, with periods of 4 to 6 seconds. That’s short-period windswell with no push. The wind is from the south or southeast, mostly cross-onshore, making the water choppy. The water temp is 86°F, a touch warmer than normal, so you won’t be cold while you wait.
The only day the light turns green is Tuesday, July 21st in the morning. The wind goes to the WSW at just 3 mph, turning the ocean glassy. The swell is still small, about 3ft from the SSE with a 5-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 42. It’s the only clean window in the whole outlook. Octagon House is a fairly consistent beginner-friendly break exposed to the southeast, and crowds are sometimes a factor, especially with a rare glassy morning.
For the rest of the time, it’s just not worth it. There’s a long gap of poor conditions with zero standout days. I’d leave the board on the roof for this one.
Rusty.

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.
