The Lowdown
Alright Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Octagon House.
Honestly, the outlook for the next 16 days is about as flat as it gets. There’s a big stretch of days right from the start with nothing worthwhile, and it just doesn’t pick up. We’re looking at a long, quiet run.
Starting on Thursday, September 3rd, it’s a sad little south swell of about 2ft with a 4-second period. Wave energy is anemic (17). With a risk of thunderstorms and crosswind, it’s a no-go. The next several mornings are often glassy, but the swell is tiny, never cracking 2ft. The water is a touch warmer than normal, about 87°F.
Come Friday, September 11th, there’s a slight bump. The morning is glassy with a 2ft south-west swell, but the period is still short at 4 seconds. The afternoon sees a 3ft SSW swell but the onshore wind messes it up. The energy (43) is still very weak. Not the day you were hoping for.
From there, it fades back to tiny, weak waves and onshore breezes for the rest of the period, finishing with a 2ft south-east swell on Friday, September 18th and no power. There is no standout session to highlight.
For a spot that’s normally fairly consistent and good for beginners, this is a tough stretch. The waves are so small and the onshore winds so frequent, this setup honestly looks more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Your best bet is catching a glassy morning on a total ankle-snapper, but that's about it.
Rusty.
