The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here.
Look, I'll be straight with you—the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for a wave. We've got a stretch of small, short-period swell coming in, and the wind is mostly on or cross-onshore. It's going to be a bit of a grind for a while. The water is pumping though, coming in at 71°F which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
We're looking at a real gap in any decent surf right now. From Tuesday the 25th through to the morning of the 9th of September, there's nothing that gets my heart racing. It's a long stretch of marginal days, with the swell hanging around the 1ft to 3ft mark and periods mostly under 12 seconds. Basically, you're looking at dribbly, onshore slop at Toes Over, a beach/jetty setup that's exposed to the SW. The energy is weak, mostly in the 200s and 300s, which is nothing to write home about. It'll be a bit of a battle for a wave, but there might be the odd cleanish morning if you're super keen and have low standards.
Now, there is one standout in this whole period if you can wait it out. We're talking about a week from now, on Wednesday the 9th of September. Things start to shuffle in the morning. We've got a modest 3ft of SSE swell, but the period jumps way up to 15 seconds, and the combined energy leaps to 665. That's a real difference. The wind looks clean and light, so there's a good chance it's glassy out there. The conditions should finally line up for a few proper waves.
That afternoon on the 9th, it builds a little more to a 3ft SSE swell with a 16-second period and the energy kicks right up to 899. A long-period swell like that is better off hitting a point or reef, but at a beach setup like Toes Over, it might close out a bit. Still, compared to the rest of the fortnight, this is the one to point the car at. It’s a promise, not a certainty, so keep an eye on it as the day gets closer.
For the rest of the time, it's mostly flat to small and chopped up. The winds are mostly light to gentle, but from the wrong direction, so it'll be lumpy. It's a waiting game, and the 9th looks like the payoff. Expect crowds possible if the forecast holds.
Rusty.

Information about the Toes Over Surf forecast

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.

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.
