The Lowdown
Righto, grab a seat. I'm Rusty, and I'm lookin' at the charts for the Octagon House (Octagon) stretch. Gotta be straight with you – it's a lean run. Real lean. There's a gap of several days right off the bat with nothing worth paddlin' out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, to be honest.
We start on Saturday the 5th of September with a tiny 1ft south swell, but the wind is all over the shop, and the wave energy is pathetic (3). It's just poor surf conditions. That carries on through the whole first week and beyond. The swell stays tiny, barely ticklin' 2ft on a good day, and the period is short, around 4 to 6 seconds – just wind chop, no real push. The energy numbers are all well below 100, mostly in the single digits or teens, confirmin' there's no grunt in the water. We get a moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September, but with a 2ft south-east swell at a 4-second period, it's still flat and messy.
This is one of those stretches where the ocean just goes to sleep. For a spot that's "fairly consistent" normally, this blank run is not the usual story. Forecasts can change, so don't lose hope entirely, but as it stands, there are zero standout options. Not a single wave worth chasin'. The setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle right now.

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.
