The Lowdown
IMPERIAL
Alright, let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, onshore wind-affected surf, and honestly, the first decent window isn’t showing up until early September. There’s a lot of marginal conditions in between, so you’ll have to be patient.
The only spot on the radar is Toes Over, a beach and jetty set-up. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real kick-off is around Friday morning, August 28th. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, but the issue is the wind is blowing straight onshore at 6 mph. It’s a glassy looking 17-second period groundswell, but the combined energy is weak at 238. It’s marginal at best, and the afternoon gets worse.
Saturday, August 29th and Sunday, August 30th mornings see a slight bump to 3ft, still from the SSW, but that wind swings to a cross-onshore at 6 mph. The energy climbs a bit (425 and 410), but the cross-onshore breeze will put a wrinkle on the surface. Not great.
The pattern continues through the first week of September. We see a few morning windows with light cross-onshore winds (like Wednesday, September 2nd and Thursday, September 3rd), but the swell is small and the afternoon onshore winds ruin it.
The one true standout, the only time I’d say it’s worth paddling out, is Monday morning, September 7th. The wind goes glassy. Flat calm. It’s a tiny 2ft, 16-second SSW groundswell, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be clean. The energy is low at 189, so it’s not going to be powerful, but for a little fun log, it’s your best bet. The onshore wind kicks in by afternoon.
After that, we get a slight bump in size on Wednesday morning, September 9th, with a 4ft SSW swell in the morning (energy 520), but it’s cross-onshore at 3 mph. It’s still marginal, and the afternoon is blown out.
The second week looks similar: small, mostly onshore, with the occasional light wind morning. Nothing to get excited about. The crowds at Toes Over can be a factor sometimes, so don’t expect solitude.
So, bottom line: the only real window is that glassy Monday morning, September 7th. It’s tiny, but it’ll be the cleanest wave of the period. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
