Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Toes Over. It’s a pretty quiet picture for the next couple of weeks, so don’t get your hopes up too high just yet.

We start off with a bit of a wait. The first chance of anything decent is on Tuesday morning, July 21st. Toes Over is seeing a 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds. The energy is moderate (505). The water is a very unusual 71°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The problem is the wind is blowing straight onshore from the SSW at 6 mph, which is going to mess up that clean face. The rating is low, and it’s described as marginal. Definitely not a standout.

The rest of the week and into the next is a bit of a grind. Wednesday the 22nd through to the weekend is mostly onshore wind and small, weak swell. On Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, we get a weird spike: a 1.0ft SW swell with a 26-second period, but the energy is still low (343) and the wind is onshore. That period is so long it’ll just roll straight through without much to offer, especially at a beach/jetty setup.

Friday morning, July 24th, offers a slight glimmer. The swell from the SSW is 2ft with a 24-second period, and the energy is moderate (577). The wind is a light cross-shore from the SSE at 6 mph. That’s a clean look, but the swell is tiny. It’s still a marginal call.

The following week, from the 28th of July onward, the swell stays small, generally around 2ft to 3ft, with onshore winds. The energy fluctuates around the 400-600 range, but the wind is never truly favorable. There’s a morning on July 31st with a 3ft S swell and 14-second period, but the wind is onshore again. The same goes for August 1st with a 4ft S swell – still onshore wind.

Into the first week of August, things get even weaker. The swell drops right off, with periods shortening and energy falling below 300. By August 3rd, the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SE at 12 mph, and the swell is a messy 3ft from the W with a period of just 7 seconds. That’s a choppy, washed-out mess.

So, the honest truth? There are no real standouts in this 16-day window. The conditions are too often onshore, and the swell is either too small or too long-period to really fire at this spot. If you’re desperate, the best of a bad bunch is probably Friday morning, July 24th, with light cross-shore wind and that long-period groundswell, but it’s tiny. This is a blank run for the area, and it’s not unusual to see a stretch like this. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change.

Rusty.
