The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The long-range maps are looking at a pretty grim stretch for Toes Over. We’ve got a lot of small, short-period swell and persistent onshore winds messing up any chance of decent shape. It’s shaping up to be a quiet couple of weeks, so don’t get your hopes up for any hero waves.
The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Sunday the 9th through to Saturday the 15th, it’s going to be small and bumpy. The swell is there, but it’s weak and the wind is all over it. We’re talking about waist-high mush at best, with a lot of onshore wind just chopping it all up. The water temperature is coming in at a very unusual 72°, which is a good 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit. But honestly, the surf isn’t worth the paddle for anyone but the most desperate. There is a slight bump in energy on the 15th, but it’s still messy.
The second week isn't looking much better. From the 16th through to the 24th, the pattern stays the same: small, weak southwest swells with light, but persistent, onshore winds. While the wind speeds are light, they are coming from the wrong direction, which keeps the surf lumpy and uninviting. The swell heights hover around 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is mostly weak to moderate. There are a couple of days where the period stretches out a bit, especially the 22nd with a 21-second swell, but it’s still too small to do anything with. It’s a long, slow grind of flatness and closeouts.
In the end, there are no standout days here. The only time the surf forecast gets a passing grade is on the morning of the 14th, when it was rated as marginal. Even then, with 2ft of swell and onshore wind, it’s a low-percentage play. It's one of those stretches where the beach setup might actually look more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers, given the wind direction and the lack of any real push. It’s a long blank run, and with a break this inconsistent, it’s not a huge surprise. Just keep the board in the car and check back when it looks like a proper swell might hit.
Keep the faith,
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.
