The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks at Toes Over.
Honestly, it's a pretty flat and frustrating start. For the first week and a half, we're looking at a real drought. From early Friday morning the 14th of August, right through to the morning of Tuesday the 26th of August, there's nothing worth getting excited about. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 3ft. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore nearly the whole time, which just spoils what little bump there is. The wave energy is weak, often under 300 (248 to 393 on those better mornings), and the conditions are marginal at best, poor otherwise. There is a long, 16 to 19 second period on some of those tiny swells, but with no size and bad wind, it's not doing us any favours. This is a long stretch of nothing.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday the 27th of August. The morning brings a 3ft south-southwest swell, but it's still mainly onshore wind and the energy is moderate at 430. By that afternoon, things perk up a little with a 4ft south swell and energy jumping to 769, but the wind stays onshore—still a bit messy.
Now, if you can wait, Friday the 28th of August is the one standout to circle on your calendar. The early morning session looks promising with a clean 5ft south-southwest swell coming in from the optimum direction of SW. The wind is a light cross-onshore at 6 mph, which should keep things fairly tidy. The wave energy is strong at 1106. With a period of 14 seconds, this has some proper groundswell punch. At 5ft, it's getting a bit pushy for beginners, but for anyone with some experience, this is the best we've seen. That afternoon is still a solid 5ft but with stronger onshore wind, so the morning is definitely the call. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
The run continues into Saturday the 29th of August with a 4ft south-southwest swell and light wind, but the energy drops back to 437, so Friday morning is the real peak.
To sum it up: endure a long, flat gap, then get ready for that Friday 28th morning session—it's the only time the stars almost align. The rest is mostly for the kite crew.

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. 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.
