Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, in feet and miles. Let’s see what Toes Over has to offer.

To be straight with you, it’s looking like a real quiet stretch. There’s a long gap of weak, onshore windswell, and not much to get the heartbeat up. The whole 16-day window is a struggle for decent surf.

We start Thursday, July 30, with a tiny 2ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, but the wind is on it, blowing from the SSW at 6 mph. It’s messy, and the combined energy is 369 (moderate). The swell period is long, so it’s got some push, but with onshore wind at this beach/jetty setup, it’s marginal and the tide’s a factor. Water temp is about average for the time of year.

Friday, July 31, is similar: 2ft to 3ft, still onshore, energy dropping to 311 and 216. Still marginal, still poor.

Saturday, August 1, we’re down to 2ft with cross-on wind, energy at 171. Sunday, August 2, the swell bottoms out at 1ft, energy in the 80s and 90s – weak. This pattern of tiny, onshore or cross-on swell just repeats. Monday through Wednesday, August 5, it’s the same: 1.0ft to 1ft, wind from the S or SW, combined energy mostly under 115 (weak). There’s a period from Thursday, July 30, all the way through to Sunday, August 9, where there’s simply no surf worth chasing.

The only flicker of hope comes around Friday, August 7, and Saturday, August 8. The swell is still tiny at 1ft to 2ft, but the period jumps to 18-19 seconds – very long groundswell. The combined energy picks up to 224 and 234 (moderate). But the wind is still cross-on or onshore. It’s marginal, and the tide could mess it up. This is a long-period swell at a beach break, so it might break straight and be tricky. Not a standout, but it’s the best on offer in a very quiet run.

From Sunday, August 9, to Tuesday, August 11, the swell stays 1ft to 2ft, with some 19-20 second periods, but the energy is still moderate (199-285). Wind stays onshore or cross-on. More of the same: marginal, poor.

The last few days, August 12 to 14, stay small, 2ft to 2ft, with 15-17 second periods, and light but onshore wind. Energy is moderate (214-242). Still just a marginal situation.

The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the early morning of Friday, August 7. The combined energy is 224 (moderate), the swell is 1ft from the SSW at 19 seconds. It’s a very long period groundswell, but the wind is cross-on. Still, if you’re keen, it’s the best chance in a flat forecast. But honestly, there’s no big swell, no clean wind, and no standout quality. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a long dry spell. Hope it changes.

Rusty.
