The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is a real big deal. It's sittin' at 71°F, which is a solid 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual – we're talkin' a proper marine heatwave kind of vibe. That warm water might feel nice, but it's not gonna do a thing for the waves.
Alright, for the surf itself, I gotta be straight with you. It's a grim outlook. We're lookin' at a long stretch of mostly poor conditions right through. The only spot on the menu is Toes Over, a beach/jetty setup, and it's shy and inconsistent. The swell direction from the SW is what the spot wants to see, but the quality just isn't there.
The first real chance, and I'm using that word loosely, is on Monday the 25th of August. Tuesday mornin' (the 25th) we see a little rise to 2ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds and a light 5 km/h S breeze. It's cross-on, but so light it might just be okay. The combined swell energy is 239 – that's only moderate. Still, the forecast says it's marginal, so don't get your hopes up.
We get a tiny blip on Wednesday the 26th mornin' with 3ft of S swell, period 13 seconds, and a light 10 km/h SSW breeze blowin' straight onshore. The energy jumps to 402 (moderate), but with wind right on it, that's choppy, messy junk.
Saturday the 29th of August mornin' might be the best of a bad lot. We've got 3ft from the SSW, 17 second period, and a light 10 km/h S breeze keepin' the cross-on chop small. The energy is 444. It's still marginal though, and that long period (over 15 seconds) at a beach break means it'll probably close out straight and be hard to ride. It’s a wave for the patient and the expert.
After that, it's more of the same – small, onshore, and poor – right through the first week of September. There's a slight uptick on Friday the 4th of September mornin' with 3ft at 17 seconds and a 10 km/h S cross-on. Energy is 437. Still just marginal.
The truth is, there's nothin' worth paddlin' out for here. The entire 16-day window is a write-off. A couple of mornin's offer a glimmer of hope, but the poor surf quality scores say it all. You'd be better off waxin' the kiteboard if you've got one, because the onshore wind and small swell at this beach/reef setup looks more interesting for that than for paddle surfin'. It's a tough run, but it happens.
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. 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.
