Hey, Rusty here. Octagon House is lookin’ pretty dead for the next week and a half. This beginner-friendly spot is fairly consistent when there’s swell, but we’ve got next to nothing from now up through the 12th. Tiny waves – 0.3ft to 3ft – with mostly cross or onshore winds, choppy and flat. A long gap of boring days.
Finally, Monday, 13th July morning shows a glimmer: glassy conditions with a light southerly breeze, 4ft of SSE swell at 6 seconds (short period, weak). Combined energy at 126 – moderate enough for small waves. Water temp is about normal for the season. Not great but rideable.
Tuesday 14th July morning is better – a WSW offshore breeze at 6 mph cleans up 3ft of SSE swell, period still short at 7 seconds. Energy drops to 81, but it’s clean and small. That’s the best window for any kind of fun.
After that, the rest of the week fades. The 19th brings a pulse to 4ft but with onshore wind, rain, and t-storms. Energy hits 206 on Sunday afternoon, but it’s messy chop. Not worth it unless you’re desperate. Stick to the 13th or 14th for the cleanest little rides.
Hang tight,
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.
