The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks at Toes Over.
Right now, there’s nothing doing. The whole outlook is padded with marginal conditions and poor surf. The swell is tiny and mostly onshore, and the only break on the cards – Toes Over – just isn’t getting any love from the ocean. The water temperature is a stand-out at 72° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost 6° above average, so if you’re just floating around it’s lovely, but for surfing? Forget it.
From Sunday 16 August through to the end of the month, it’s a grim run. The swell sits between 1ft and 3ft, coming from the SSW and SW, with periods that are all over the shop – some as low as 13 seconds, others up to 19 seconds. That 19-second period swell on Sunday 23 August morning (1ft from SW) is a long-period groundswell, but with next to no height and onshore wind, it’s not offering a proper wave. The combined wave energy stays weak, mostly in the 130–326 range, which tells you how little grunt there is. Winds are nearly always onshore – light to gentle breezes from SSW or WSW – so the surface stays bumpy and messy. Every session is scored poor or marginal. There’s no standout anywhere in the 16 days.
Honestly, this is a blank run. If you’re hoping for a wave, you’re out of luck for the whole stretch. It’s one of those spells where the area just goes quiet. The conditions look more suited to a kite than a paddle, with those steady onshore winds and small, weak swell. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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. If you surf the same spot (Toes Over) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
