The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Octagon House. It’s a pretty flat spell we’re looking at, so I’ll be straight with you.

We’re kicking off the forecast period on Tuesday the 28th of July, and honestly, there’s just nothing to get excited about for a long stretch. The swell is tiny, barely registering, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making for poor, choppy conditions. You’ll see a few mornings with a light cross-offshore breeze, like Saturday the 1st of August, but the swell is still only 2ft to 3ft from the SSW, with weak energy. It’s a clean look, but the waves just don’t have the grunt. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning offers a touch of clean surf with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the W. The swell is a modest 3ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 58 (moderate). The report says it’s surfable but very ordinary. I’d call it a small window for a longboard or a foiler, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon turns into a poor onshore mess.

After that, it’s back to the same story: tiny swell, poor conditions, and low scores right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 12th of August. There’s one morning on Thursday the 6th of August with a light cross-shore and a hint of 3ft swell from the SSE, but it’s still poor. And on Friday the 7th of August, the morning is glassy with a 1ft SSE swell, but again, it’s just too small.

So, the honest truth? There are no standouts here. The best on offer is probably the Sunday the 2nd of August morning session, but even that is a marginal call. It’s a long, quiet stretch for Octagon House. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap.

Rusty.

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. If you surf the same spot (Octagon House) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
