Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for Toes Over. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch.

Across the whole period, the main issue is that the swell is just too small to get anything going. We’re seeing tiny waves, mostly 1 ft to 3 ft, coming in from the SW and SSW. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, which is a real bummer because it’s going to mess up what little shape there might be. The combined wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, with values like 105 and 234 (moderate energy), but it’s just not enough to produce a decent ride.

The water temp is a whopping 73°F – that’s a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s like bathwater out there, but unfortunately, the surf isn’t matching the tropical feeling.

Because there’s no real swell to speak of, there’s a big gap of nothing but poor conditions. The first few days are a total write-off. The very end of the outlook, around August 14th and 15th, we start to see the swell tick up just a fraction to 2 ft and 2 ft, and the combined energy climbs to 350 and 357 (moderate). But it’s still coming with that same cross-onshore wind, and the forecast calls it “marginal” at best. It’s a glimmer, but not a standout.

The only real standout – if you can call it that – is the Saturday morning, August 15th session. The swell is 2 ft from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell, which means it’ll have some energy. The combined energy is 350 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSW at 6 mph. It’s not clean, but it’s the closest to a proper wave we’ll see.

Bottom line: this is a tough run for Toes Over. A blank stretch like this is more normal for the area when the swell window isn’t cooperating. No one’s getting barreled here for a while. Keep your eyes on the forecast, things can change.

Rusty.
