Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Toes Over.

Look, right now we’re stuck in a bit of a flat spell. The first week is tough – we’ve got tiny swell and the wind is just wrong. Most mornings have that light cross-onshore breeze messing with the surface, and the afternoons are even worse with onshores. It’s not looking good for a paddle. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a bath than a proper winter chill.

The swell stays small, barely hitting 2 ft with a long 15-second period from the SSW. The combined energy is weak (around 238), and the onshore wind just chops it to bits. This pattern holds for days. We finally get a morning worth mentioning on Monday, July 13th. It’s tiny at 2 ft, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm – and that’s rare. You’d be out there on a longboard, but don’t expect much push.

The next couple of weeks see the swell dropping further into the 1.0 ft to 2 ft range with some seriously long period groundswell (18-19 seconds). That kind of period tends to race straight past a beach/jetty setup like this, making it hard to connect with the wave. The energy is low, and even with the occasional glassy morning (like Thursday, July 23rd), it’s more about the vibe than the ride.

There’s a bit of a bump coming around July 25th – the swell nudges up to 3 ft from the SSE, and the combined energy jumps to 509, which is moderate. But the wind is onshore and looks messy. If you’re an expert on a big board, you might find something fun, but for most of us, it’s still a struggle.

Honestly, if there’s a standout here, it’s the glassy morning on Monday, July 13th. Clean, tiny, but at least you won’t be fighting the wind. Everything else – it’s a waiting game. The setup here is better suited for a kite if the wind picks up, because the paddle surfing conditions are just poor through most of the run.
