The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell for Octagon House. There’s just no surf to speak of. The first few days are pretty much a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. We’re talking waves barely reaching 2 ft on Thursday the 3rd, and that’s the biggest it’ll get all period. The energy is completely flat, with combined energy readings struggling to hit even 32 – that’s real weak stuff.
The water temp is sittin’ about average for this time of year, so no drama there, but you’ll be sittin’ on your board staring at a lake for most of the time.
The wind does offer a few glassy moments, like Friday the 4th morning and Sunday the 6th morning, but there’s just no push behind it. The swell is tiny, period is short – under 8 seconds – and it’s coming from the S or SSE, which isn’t the ideal SE direction for this spot. By the time we get into the second week, the swell does bump up a touch, hitting 4 ft by Sunday the 13th, but the wind turns onshore and it’s still messy with poor surf quality. The combined energy hits 71, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. Even then, it’s not worth paddlin’ out for.
Honestly, there’s no standout. Not a single day worth callin’ a highlight. If you’re desperate, maybe the 13th has the most water moving, but with onshore wind and weak, short-period swell, you’re better off takin’ a break. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just says "nah."
Rusty.
