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.

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.
