Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me look at what’s cookin’ for Toes Over.

Right now, there’s no real surf to get excited about. We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first time I’d even point you toward the water is Sunday afternoon, September 6th. That’s when things finally start to look half-decent.

So, for the overall pattern: we start with a long flat spell. Nothing worth paddling out for on Saturday. Then Sunday the 6th afternoon, the wind goes completely glassy, calm as a lake, and we get a clean 4 ft swell from the south with a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 524, and the wave comment says expect very good surf conditions. That’s the standout of the whole 16 days. Toes Over is a beach/jetty setup, fairly consistent, and exposed to the SW swell, so that south direction is working nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. Crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes peeled. This is the best on offer, no doubt.

Monday morning the 7th has some decent potential too – clean 3 ft swell from the south, light offshore wind from the WSW, period around 12 seconds, but the wave comment is a bit more cautious, calling it marginal. Monday afternoon the wind picks up and it gets messy, so morning is your window.

After that, the surf just fades away. Tuesday the 8th through to the 20th of September, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and onshore. Swell heights hover around 1 ft to 3 ft, periods are all over the place, and the combined energy drops into the low hundreds, sometimes even below 200. The wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy or just plain poor. There’s a brief little bump around the 19th and 20th with 2 ft swells and some energy around 300-375, but the wind is wrong and the wave comments are still marginal or poor. Not worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate.

The long-range stuff around the 21st shows a 3 ft swell building, but again with onshore wind. It’s a long way out, so don’t book your flights yet.

So here’s the bottom line: Sunday afternoon the 6th is your day. Get out there, enjoy the clean glass and that little south swell. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve got. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, messy surf. That’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change.

Rusty.
