The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. The only break on the radar is Octagon House, and it’s a real struggle for anything worth paddling out for.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From the start of the forecast on Tuesday, 1 September, right through to Wednesday, 16 September, the surf is tiny and the conditions are mostly messy. The combined wave energy barely gets a look-in; it starts at a weak 10 and only peaks at a weak 40 on Saturday, 12 September. That’s not a swell, it’s a ripple.
For a beginner spot, it’s generally too small to be fun, and the wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore, making for choppy, uninviting water. The only real glimmer is on Wednesday morning, 16 September. We get a clean window with a light offshore wind from the WNW, and the swell bumps up to a mere 2 ft from the south. It’s clean, but it’s tiny. The water temp is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
Honestly, this is a blank run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe that Wednesday 16th morning gives you a chance to get wet, but don’t expect any waves. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the wind. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
