The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it's a pretty flat stretch for this area. We're looking at a solid 16-day run but the truth is, the surf is just not showing up. The first recommendation for a wave is on Monday, July 20th, but it's a tiny 0.3ft on a short period of 4 seconds from the SSW. The energy is barely registering (7). It's a poor surf condition, and it stays that way. There's a long gap of absolutely nothing worthwhile until the very end of the outlook.

The only real time to even consider it is around the very end of the forecast, from the 1st of August onwards. The swell picks up ever so slightly, but it's still struggling. On Sunday morning, August 2nd, we get a little bump with a 2ft swell from the S, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate (34). The wind is cross-offshore from the WSW, so it could be clean. But it's still a tiny wave, and the energy is just not enough to get excited about. The following Monday morning, August 3rd, looks similar with a 2ft swell from the SSW, a 4-second period, and a cross-offshore wind from the WSW. It's clean, but again, it's barely a wave.

The main spot here is Octagon House. It's a beginner-friendly break, and it's fairly consistent, but there's just no swell to work with. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. For the whole 16 days, the wave energy never gets out of the weak zone, with the highest reading being a moderate 58 on the 28th of July. That's not enough for a proper surf.

If you're desperate for a paddle, the 2nd and 3rd of August mornings are your best bet, but it's a real struggle. This is a classic blank run for this area; it happens. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing to recommend.

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.
