The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming up for Toes Over. I gotta be straight with you – we’re in for a rough patch. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and mostly blown out onshore, so don't get your hopes up for any hero sessions.
The pattern is a long, drawn-out stretch of tiny, weak swell and crummy wind. There’s a real gap here: from right now, all the way through the end of August, the wave energy is just a whisper. The combined energy figures are mostly in the low hundreds (238, 261, 189, 140, 125) – that’s weak, anemic stuff. And the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, which is going to chop up whatever little bumps there are. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing strange there.
We start seeing a slight pulse of energy on the 25th of August, with combined energy climbing to 313 (marginal surf forecast), but again, the wind is straight onshore from the SSW. That’s not going to be pretty. The swell direction is a consistent SSW to SW, which is the optimum direction for this spot, so that’s the one positive. But the size is all under 2 ft, and the period is long (16-19 seconds), which means those long, drawn-out lines are going to hit the beach and just roll straight through without much shape.
The best chance for anything close to a surfable wave is looking like the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. We’ve got a bit more energy coming through with combined energy at 418 (moderate), and the swell is 3 ft from the SSW at a long 17-second period. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSE, which is the best we’ve seen. It’s still not perfect, but it's the only window where the conditions aren't actively trash. For a beach/jetty setup, that long period means the sets will be fat and straight, but a 3 ft wave with a light cross-offshore is a lot better than what we’ve had.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper surfing. The waves are too small, the wind is wrong, and the quality is poor. If you’ve got a kite, this setup might look more interesting than a paddle board, because the combined energy is there sometimes, but the wave shape is not.
Stay patient, fellas. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.
Rusty.

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.
