The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s size up what’s on offer for Toes Over.
Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid two-week run where the conditions are mostly poor, and the swell is just too small to get excited about. There’s a lot of waiting, but not much riding.
We kick off on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning’s got a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell with a very long 13-second period. The wind is onshore from the SW at 6 mph. It’s not blowing you off the water, but it’s not clean. The combined swell energy registers a weak 141. That’s pretty much a glorified lake. The water is sitting at a weirdly warm 72°F, which is a whopping 6°F above normal – that’s very unusual. But with poor surf, it’s just a warm bath to bob around in. The afternoon is worse – same small 2ft swell but with a stronger 12 mph onshore wind.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th don’t bring any relief. Still 2ft to 2ft, still onshore winds, still poor surf. The energy is moderate at best – bouncing between 151 and 211 – but the quality is just not there. Thursday morning has a light cross-onshore breeze, so there’s a few ripples on the surface.
Friday the 14th to Sunday the 16th sees a tiny bump. The swell inches up to 3ft by Saturday, with that lovely SSW direction and a solid 16-second period. The combined energy even hits a moderate 381 on Saturday morning. But look, it’s all blowing onshore. Saturday morning is cross-onshore with a light S breeze, but the wave comment is still “marginal” at best. It’s frustrating – there’s some clean energy in the water, but the wind is just ruining it.
The second week is more of the same. From Monday the 17th through to the end of the period, we’re stuck with tiny 1.0ft to 2ft swell, almost always with onshore SW winds. The combined energy dips as low as 123, which is basically nothing. There’s a brief pulse on Thursday the 20th morning where the swell jumps to 4ft, but it’s from the W with a short, choppy 7-second period – think messy, weak windswell. Not worth a paddle.
Given the constant onshore wind and weak swell, this setup really looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For us surfers, there’s just nothing here to get excited about. The forecasts can always shift, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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 Toes Over 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.
