The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. I’ve combed through the charts for Toes Over, and it’s a slow burn for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first chunk of the forecast is a total flop. The water is warm, about 71°, which is much warmer than usual, but that doesn’t help with the waves. From Monday the 17th all the way through the end of August, the swell is tiny – mostly 1 to 2 feet – and the wind is either blowing onshore or cross-onshore. The combined wave energy is weak, under 200 (247) at best, and the surf quality is rated poor. You’re looking at a solid week and a half of nothing worth paddling for.
There’s a big gap. Nothing good until the final weekend of the month.
The only real standout here is Saturday the 29th of August and Sunday the 30th of August. Finally, the swell shows up. On Saturday morning, we’ve got a 3-foot swell from the SSW with a 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 511 – that’s a solid push. The wind is light and cross-onshore at 6 mph, so it’ll be rideable. Saturday afternoon sees the swell hitting 3 feet, with energy up to 619. Still light winds. Sunday looks similar: 3 feet of SSW swell, 16-second period, and energy over 500. The wind is light in the morning, then goes light offshore in the afternoon. That’s the best window.
Because Toes Over is a beach and jetty setup, that long period (over 15 seconds) can make the waves a bit fat and straight on the beach, but the jetty might sort it out. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others who’ve been waiting it out.
After that, Monday the 31st of August drops back to 3 feet, and by Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s back to tiny 2-foot slop.
So, the bottom line: don’t bother until Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August. That’s your window. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only period with real swell and manageable wind.
Rusty.

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.
