The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Octagon House. I’ve had a good look at the charts, and honestly, it’s a tough run. We’re staring down the barrel of a full sixteen-day window, and for the first week and a half, there’s just nothing on offer. From Friday the 24th of July right through to the 6th of August, every single session is a miss. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is pretty much never your friend—mostly a cross-onshore mess. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.

The first real opportunity that might get your heart beating a little is on Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. We see a bit of a pulse of energy coming through, with a combined swell energy of 238 (moderate). The swell is hitting 4 ft from the SSE with a 7-second period. That’s still pretty average quality, but the wind is a light cross-onshore. It’s not great, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. For an absolute beginner, this might be a goer, but don’t expect anything special. The crowds? They can be around sometimes at Octagon House, so you might have company for the ankle-biters.

That’s it. That’s the only slight flicker in the whole 16-day forecast. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. For the rest, it’s all “poor surf conditions” on the cards. This is one of those times where the beach setup looks more interesting for the kites than for a paddle surfer. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a rough one.

Rusty.

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.
