The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again, this time with the numbers in feet, Fahrenheit, and miles per hour.
So, Toes Over is in for a tough run. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf from Tuesday August 4th all the way through Friday August 7th. Swell is tiny at 1ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds, and the wave energy is weak to moderate (between 94 and 233). The water is 73°F, which is a full 8°F warmer than normal—pretty unusual, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first hint of something rideable comes Saturday morning August 8th: a marginal call with 2ft of SSW swell, a 17-second period—that’s a long-period groundswell—and light cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is 212, so moderate. At a beach/jetty like Toes Over, that long period can make the waves straighten out, but there’s a little more shape to work with than the flat we’ve had.
Through the rest of that week and into the next, it’s the same pattern: mornings with light cross-onshore breezes, afternoons onshore. Swell stays around 1ft to 2ft. We get a spike in energy on Friday afternoon August 14th—2ft of SSW swell with an 18-second period and energy at 420—but the wind is onshore and the forecast calls it poor. Not worth it.
The best window is Saturday morning August 15th. That’s your standout. We’ve got 3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, light offshore wind from the SW, and combined energy of 398—a solid pulse. The offshore wind means clean, glassy conditions, and the long period gives the waves proper shape. It’s still a marginal forecast (tide could be tricky), but that’s your best shot. The size is small enough for beginners, but expect a few people out—crowds are a possibility here.
After that, Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 19th fades back into small, onshore slop. Monday morning the 17th has a marginal call with 2ft and cross-on breezes, but nothing to write home about.
Bottom line: if you’re itching to paddle out, aim for Saturday morning August 15th. That’s the pick of a pretty quiet forecast. The rest of the time, you’re better off waiting for the next change.
Rusty.

Information about the Toes Over Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Toes Over provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Toes Over can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Toes Over 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 (Toes Over) 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 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. 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.
Toes Over is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of El Segundo. If you plan a vacation in Los Angeles County, look for hotels and other accommodation in El Segundo. El Segundo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
