The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, with the same look in feet and miles. Cape Toi is a reef break that's hit or miss, and we've got a solid stretch of tiny, average waves before it gets good.
The water is warm, about 82°, which is normal for this time of year.
For the first week, starting July 15th, it's a struggle. Waves are ankle to knee-high from the east, with a short period around 9-10 seconds. The energy is weak, well under 100. The winds are mostly cross-off or cross, keeping it clean, but there's just no juice. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The real action starts in the second week. The swell builds from the east-northeast around the 22nd. The morning of Thursday the 23rd is the first real winner. The wind is glassy, dead calm, with a 3-foot wave from the ENE at 11 seconds. The energy jumps to 288 (moderate), and it's looking good. That's your clean, fun session.
Then it gets serious. The morning of July 29th brings a 4-foot groundswell from the ESE with a very long 16-second period. The energy is strong at 604. This is a real reef-break wave, powerful and lined up. The wind is light and cross, so it'll be a bit bumpy but very rideable. The absolute standout is the morning of July 30th. We're looking at a 6-foot swell from the ESE with a 16-second period. The energy is massive at 1484 (very strong). The wind is a light cross-shore breeze. This is for experts only—over 5 feet and that long period will make it a heavy, hollow beast on the reef.
Crowds are possible, so plan your attack. The first few days are a write-off, but that second half of the month has some serious potential.
Rusty.

Information about the Cape Toi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cape Toi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cape Toi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cape Toi 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 (Cape Toi) 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 Cape Toi 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.
Cape Toi is 15 km (9 miles) from Kushima. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kushima. Kushima has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
