Table - best surf conditions forecast for Octagon House over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Octagon House is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The first real chance at anything doesn't even show up until Wednesday, July 15th in the afternoon. We get a tiny pulse of 3ft swell from the SSE with a period of 6 seconds, but the combined energy is a weak 61. The wind goes glassy though, which is the only highlight. The conditions are "surfable but very ordinary" – it’s a one-star day at best, and that’s being generous. Before that, from Saturday the 11th right through Wednesday morning, it’s a complete blank. The swell is tiny, below 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross-shore, onshore, and generally choppy. It’s a full four days of nothing.
After that brief Wednesday afternoon window, it’s back to the same story. Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 26th of July is just a flat, forgettable run. Swell heights bounce between 2ft and 3ft, the period stays short (4 to 7 seconds), and the combined energy rarely cracks 60. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s no standout session, no big swell, no clean offshore window. The only slight lift is on Saturday the 25th afternoon, where the swell hits 3ft from the S with a period of 6 seconds and the energy ticks up to 116 (moderate), but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’s still choppy. For such a small wave, that’s not worth the drive.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent onshore wind and small, weak swell. With hardly any consistency and no real quality, this is a pretty normal blank run for this area. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the car.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Octagon House can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
