The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for our local stretch.
First off, the water's sittin' at a balmy 70°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a real treat – feels like you're surfing in a bath, not the ocean. Makes those early morning paddles a whole lot easier.
Now, looking at the 16-day window, it's a bit of a slow burn. We've got a long stretch of small, onshore wind-affected junk to start. From Thursday 20th all the way through Thursday 27th, it's a real battle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with a short period, and the wind is blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore out of the SW. The wave energy is weak (under 250), and the forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions" with scores of 0 or 1. It's just not worth paddling out for. Expect a solid 8 days of flat, bumpy, messy water.
Things start to get a little interesting on the morning of Friday 28th August. That's the standout window. The morning looks glassy with a light SSE breeze, and we'll see a 3 ft SSW swell with a 12-second period. The combined energy ticks up to 429 (moderate), and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." It's not huge, but with that glassy wind, Toes-Over should be clean and fun little peelers. The swell direction is SSW, which is better than the SSW, but still gets some wrap. This is the best bet in the whole run.
The following weekend, 29th and 30th, sees a bit more size (2 to 3 ft) but the wind goes back onshore, turning it back into a bumpy mess with poor conditions.
Into the first week of September, the trend continues. We're back to tiny, weak, wind-affected swell with energy levels dropping back below 200. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the forecast is consistently "poor surf conditions" with scores of 0. There's a slight uptick on the morning of Friday 4th September with a 2 ft SSW swell and moderate energy (336), but it's still cross-onshore, so it's a marginal call at best.
Overall, the whole 16-day outlook is a test of patience. The only real highlight is that Friday 28th August morning. If you're keen, be there for dawn patrol.

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.
