The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Toes Over over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a whole lot of days with marginal surf and iffy conditions. The water is sitting at 72°F right now, which is a solid 6°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost like bath water for your first session.
For the first week, from Thursday the 27th of August right through to the end of the month, it’s pretty grim. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2ft to 3ft from the SSW, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore. The wave energy is all over the place, from a weak 230 up to a moderate 492 (combined energy), but the wind just kills the quality. It’s poor surf conditions day after day.
We roll into September, and the first week isn’t much better. From Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday the 4th, we’re stuck in that same rut – small SSW swells, light but persistent cross-onshore winds, and the wave comment is either “poor” or “marginal surf forecast.” The energy picks up a bit, hitting a moderate 507 on Thursday afternoon, but with onshore wind, it’s not worth getting excited about.
Now, there are two little windows that shine through. The first real standout is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. The forecast shows 3ft of S/SSW swell with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a nice long-period groundswell. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and the combined energy is a moderate 353. This is your best chance to get clean, lined-up waves. For beginners, 3ft is fine, but that 16-second period will make the sets a bit more powerful and the lulls a bit longer; it might break a bit straight on the beach, so look for the better peaks.
Then, there’s another flash on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. It’s only 2ft of SW swell, but it’s a very long-period groundswell at 18 seconds. The wind is glassy again, and it’s a “good surf conditions” call. The energy is a solid moderate 323. This is a very clean, small-wave day – perfect for a longboard. The long period means the waves will have good shape, but at that size, it’s mellow.
After that, the second week from the 9th onward trails off again with more poor conditions and onshore winds. There’s some moderate swell energy mid-week, but the wind is not favorable.
So, to sum it up: the next few weeks start rough, but you’ve got two clear winners. Saturday the 5th of September morning is your best bet for some glassy fun. Tuesday the 8th of September morning is also worth a look for the clean but tiny waves. Get on those windows.
Rusty.

Information about the Toes Over Surf forecast

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.
