The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Toes Over, a beach/jetty setup that’s exposed to the SW, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The whole period is a bit of a grind, with no real standout days to get genuinely excited about. The waves are small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is poor for the vast majority of the time. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for, so patience is the name of the game.
The water at Toes Over is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, with a temperature anomaly of 4° above average, sitting at 73°F. That’s very unusual.
The first real hint of anything remotely surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday, August 15th, and even then, it’s a stretch. The morning of the 15th shows a small 2ft SSW swell with a period of 16 seconds, and combined energy of 320 (moderate). The wind is a light 6 mph onshore from the SW, which is still onshore but light. It’s marginal. This is the closest we get to a highlight, but it’s still a poor surf forecast.
The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Saturday, August 16th. The swell is still small at 3ft from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds and combined energy of 375 (moderate). The wind is a light 6 mph cross-onshore from the SSE. It’s not clean, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole run and the wind is light. It’s still a marginal, questionable tide situation.
For the rest of the period, from the 6th right through to the 21st, it’s a near-constant run of poor surf conditions, with onshore winds or light cross-onshore breezes. The swell never really gets above 3ft, and the periods are mostly long (13-19 seconds), which would be great for a point break, but at a beach/jetty, that long period groundswell tends to break straight and be a bit fat. The energy is moderate, ranging from 105 to 383, but it’s never enough to overcome the poor quality.
Honestly, for a beach/jetty setup with this much onshore wind and such small swell, this looks more like a kiteboarding window than a paddle-surfing one. The strong, consistent onshore wind and small, long-period swell will create bumpy, unsurfable conditions for most of the time.
So, to sum it up: there’s no real standout. The morning of the 15th and 16th of August are the only windows with a pulse, but they’re both marginal and far from what you’d drive for. If you’re desperate, you might get a few small, crumbly waves on the 16th morning, but keep expectations on the floor.
Rusty.

Information about the Toes Over Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Toes Over provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Toes Over can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
