Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a tough one for us. Toes Over is our only option on the board, and it’s not looking like a classic run. The water temp is pretty much where you’d expect it for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

The pattern from now through the 16th is pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell, with the combined wave energy sitting in the low to moderate range, mostly between 90 and 233 (moderate). The swell is coming from the south and southwest, which is the right direction for this spot, but the size is tiny – we’re looking at 2 ft to 2 ft most days. The period is all over the place, from 13 seconds up to a very long 19 seconds, but that energy just isn’t translating into rideable waves.

For the first week, from Saturday the 1st right through to Thursday the 7th, it’s a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, light but enough to mess up what little bump there is. The surf is consistently poor, with scores of zero. Friday the 7th morning shows a slight glimmer with a 1 out of 10 rating, and a long period 19 second swell from the SSW with moderate energy (233), but it’s still just a marginal, questionable setup. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not clean.

We then hit another block of poor surf from the 8th to the 13th. The swell stays tiny, 1 ft to 2 ft, with energy mostly in the 150-200 range. The wind is a mix of light onshore and cross-onshore, but nothing good enough to make it worth paddling out. The best we see is a 1 out of 10 on Friday the 14th morning, with a 2 ft swell from the SW, 14 second period, and moderate energy (212), but the wind is still light cross-onshore. It’s marginal at best.

The last few days, the 15th and 16th, are more of the same. Small, onshore wind, poor conditions. The swell is 2 ft to 2 ft, with a 16-17 second period, but it’s not enough to break cleanly. The 16th morning has a 2 ft swell from the SSW, 16 seconds, with light onshore wind, but it’s still a zero.

To be honest, there’s no standout session here. The only time we see a rating of 1 out of 10 is on the morning of Friday the 7th and again on Friday the 14th, and even those are just marginal. The swell is too small, the wind is not offshore, and the consistency is poor. For a break that’s exposed to the SW, the direction is right, but the size is all wrong. The very long period swells (15-19 seconds) we see a few times would be better at a point or reef, but at a beach/jetty setup like Toes Over, those long-period lines can break straight and be tricky.

If you’re a kite surfer, those light cross-onshore winds and small bump might be more interesting than it is for paddle surfing. For the rest of us, it’s a blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Hang tight.
