The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Toes Over. We've got a long runway of small, clean-ish surf, but honestly, it's going to be a grind to find a proper session. The water is sitting at a very unusual 73°, which is much warmer than what you'd normally expect for the time of year, so at least you'll be comfortable while you're waiting.
To be straight with you, there's no day in this 16-day window that I'd call a standout. The energy is low. We start with Friday morning, August 28, with a weak 2 ft SSW swell, a long 17-second period, but the wind is a cross-on from the SSW, so it's onshore and messy. The combined energy is only 271 (moderate), but the quality just isn't there.
The whole first week is a lot of the same story. Saturday August 29 has a slightly better 3 ft swell, but the wind is directly onshore. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... it's a rinse and repeat of weak swells, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, and the scoreboard is blank. There's a slight dip in wind on Wednesday morning, September 2, with a 2 ft S swell and light onshore breeze, but the period is a short 13 seconds and combined energy is a weak 200. It's a marginal look at best.
The following Monday, September 7, has a similar situation: a 2 ft SSW swell with a decent 15-second period, light onshore breeze, very low energy (231). It's not a write-off, but you'd be going for a paddle, not a barrel.
The best chance in this whole run comes on Friday, September 11, and Saturday, September 12. On Friday morning, we have a 2 ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period. The combined energy jumps to 433 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-on from the south, which is the best alignment we've seen in a while. The waves might have a bit more shape, but it's still small. Then Saturday morning, September 12, we see 3 ft from the S, with a short 13-second period, and combined energy of 413. The wind is again a light cross-on. It's still tiny surf, but if you are desperate, those are the sessions to focus on.
The bottom line is this stretch looks better for a longboard or a funboard on the slopey small days, or honestly, for a kite. The persistent onshore wind and mostly poor conditions at a beach/jetty setup mean the kite surfers might get more out of it than we will. Don't hold your breath for anything magic. It's a typical quiet period for the area.
Rusty.

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.
