Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Octagon House is a tough one. There's nothing you'd call a proper surf session on the books. The first solid chance of a wave doesn't even show up until Tuesday the 14th, and even then, it's barely a whisper.

We're looking at a long, dry spell with next to no swell. The water's sitting at a warm 86°F around here, a touch warmer than average for July, so at least the paddle out won't be a shock to the system. But that's about the only positive.

The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 9th through Monday the 13th? Forget it. Tiny, weak swell from the SSE with messy cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is pathetic, barely registering. It's just not worth the drive.

Tuesday the 14th morning is the only real glimmer. A tiny 2ft SE swell sneaks in with a period of 6 seconds. The wind goes light NNW and offshore, promising a clean surface. The data calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I can't argue. For a beginner, maybe a chance to paddle around, but anyone else is going to be bored silly.

Then the window slams shut again. Wednesday the 15th through the rest of the month is a relentless parade of weak, onshore slop. Swell stays below 2ft, winds are all over the place but mostly from the S or SSE, and the energy is pitiful. Even a glassy morning on Saturday the 18th can't do anything with a 1ft, 11-second groundswell – that's barely a ripple.

There's no standout here, no hidden gem. The best of a bad lot is that Tuesday morning, but don't get your hopes up. The whole setup is so small and wind-affected it'd be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. This is just one of those blank runs for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a no-go.

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.
