Table - best surf conditions forecast for Octagon House over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next 16 days at Octagon House, and I’ve got to tell ya – it’s a quiet stretch. No real surf to speak of. The water’s sittin’ around 87°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
First up on Friday the 10th of July, the swell is a tiny 2ft from the SSE, period a short 4 seconds, with energy at just 14 – weak as dishwater. Wind’s cross-onshore from the south at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and no good.
Through the weekend and the next week, it’s the same story. Swell runs 1ft to 3ft, mostly from the SSE or SE, periods stuck between 4 and 7 seconds. Combined energies never crack 60 – still weak. Winds are cross-onshore or onshore, with some stormy weather mixed in. Every single row says “poor surf conditions.” Nothing worth gettin’ wet for.
There’s a brief clean moment on Saturday the 18th morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north at 6 mph, but the swell’s only 3ft and period 5 seconds. Energy’s 39 – tiny. Not worth it.
From Monday the 20th onward, the swell drops to 1ft to 1ft, periods 4 to 5 seconds, energies down to 9. Winds are cross or cross-on. By Thursday the 23rd, we see a bump to 2ft, but it’s still poor. The best look is Saturday the 25th morning with 4ft and energy at 89, but it’s cross-onshore at 16 mph – choppy and messy.
No recommendations here at all. It’s a full 16-day blank run. That’s how it goes sometimes in this spot – a dry spell. Forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope, but for now, the boards are stayin’ dry.
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.
