The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the charts for the next couple weeks and honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got a solid run of small, onshore slop for the first week or so. The real standout is tucked away in the second week, so we’ll have to be patient.
The only spot on the radar is Toes Over. This is a beach/jetty setup, exposed to the southwest, and it’s fairly consistent, which is a good sign. Crowds are possible here, so be ready for company.
Right now, Friday the 31st of July morning, we’re looking at a tiny 3 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, which usually means better shape, but the wave energy is weak at just 285. The wind is onshore from the SW, so it’s not going to be pretty. The afternoon gets worse – dropping to 2 ft, still onshore, and the combined energy drops to 213. This is a write-off.
From Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Wednesday the 6th, it’s the same story. Swell hangs around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the SW or SSW, with light cross-onshore breezes. The combined energy sits between 92 and 166, which is weak. This is small, choppy, and not worth paddling out for. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday the 7th of August. The morning sees a 1 ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 19 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The combined energy finally hits a moderate 217. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSW. It’s still marginal, but you can feel the pulse. The weekend (Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th) stays similar, with 2 ft SSW swell and periods of 15-17 seconds, with moderate energy in the 169-216 range. Still cross-onshore, so it’s not clean, but it’s a step up.
The real standout, and the best bet of the whole forecast, comes on Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning sees a 2 ft swell from the SW with a period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 207. The wind is onshore unfortunately, but it’s a light breeze. For a spot that’s been sitting in the doldrums, this is a change. The afternoon builds to 2 ft from the SSW, 17-second period, and the combined energy hits 273. The wind is still onshore but light. This is the window. The swell is small, but that long period will give it some push. It’s a groundswell, so it should wrap in nicely at the jetty. This is for the more advanced crew, as the period will make the sets a bit lumpy on the inside.
Thursday the 13th keeps the energy up with a 2 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and combined energy of 226-235, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze onshore in the afternoon, ruining it. The following Friday and Saturday the 14th and 15th of August, the swell drops back to 2-2 ft, with the energy around 205-259. The morning of the 15th has a light onshore breeze, which is the best of the last few days, but nothing special.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a washout. The second week offers a few marginal windows, but the clear standout is Wednesday the 12th of August. That’s the day to keep your eyes on. It’s nothing massive, but it’s the best pulse in a long, flat spell. Get on it if you can.
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. 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.
