Todasana Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Todasana over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead for Todasana. Right from the get-go on July 6th, we’ve got a persistent cross-onshore wind blowing out of the E at 12–16 mph, and it just doesn’t let up. The swell is there, but it’s short-period junk around 7 seconds, so the waves are messy and weak compared to what you’d want. The combined wave energy is in the low to moderate range (103–120) which just means you’re battling onshore chop for tiny, crumbly closeouts. It stays in this rut for days.

July 9th Thursday afternoon brings a slight flicker of hope. The wind drops to a gentle cross-shore at 9 mph, and the swell bumps up to 5.6 ft from the ENE with a slightly longer 9-second period. Wave energy climbs with a moderate reading of 465, but it’s still a marginal surf day with questionable conditions. The shape is just not there.

From there, it’s back to the same windy, choppy grind. Cross-onshore winds from the E or ENE blow steady at 9–16 mph every single day, and the swell stays mostly between 3.6 ft and 5.9 ft with that poor, short 7–8 second period throughout the whole second week. The energy occasionally touches the mid-200s, but it never cleans up enough to make it worth paddling out.

The water temp is sitting at 79.5°, which is about average for this time of year here – nothing special, but at least you won’t be freezing. Todasana is a reef and point setup, so it can handle bigger swell better, but the wind direction is just wrong for it. The optimum direction is from the NNE, and we’re getting everything from NE to ENE with an onshore bias. It’s just not lining up.

Bottom line: if you were hoping for a good session, it’s a long wait. There are no standout days. A kite surfer might find the consistent onshore breeze enough to play with, but for a paddle surfer, this stretch is a washout. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a big Nope from me.
