Toes Over Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' over the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest, with some real clean windows if you're patient.

The main spot we’re lookin’ at is Toes Over. The water is sittin’ at a very warm 72°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, you won't need a wetsuit, just boardshorts.

Right now, and through the end of July, it’s pretty flat. There are a few small bumps of swell, but the onshore wind kills it, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." The combined wave energy is weak to moderate at best, like 253 (weak energy) on the 23rd morning. The first real chance we see is on the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. The wind finally goes light offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph, giving us clean conditions on a small 3 ft SSW swell. The period is a long 16 seconds, so it’ll have some push, but energy is still low at 333 (moderate). It’s not a standout, but it’s the tidiest window in a messy run.

From the 31st into the 1st of August, we start to see the swell bump up. The morning of Saturday, the 1st of August, shows the biggest swell of the period: 4 ft from the S with a shorter 13-second period and moderate energy at 589. It’s still a cross-onshore wind, though, which will chop it up a bit.

Then, from Sunday the 2nd of August onward, it fades fast. The combined energy drops right off – down to 192 (weak) on the 2nd, and by the 3rd it’s below 150 with tiny 1 ft waves. From the 3rd of August through to the end of the forecast window, it’s basically flat with poor conditions. That’s a solid five-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, which is pretty standard for this area when the weather patterns lock in.

The best on offer? Without a doubt, it’s the Thursday morning (30th of July) . That's the only time we get offshore wind and clean conditions. The swell is small at 3 ft from the SSW, but with the wind light and offshore, it'll be glassy and rideable for a log or a mid-length. Just be aware, crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so getting in early will be key. That long 16-second period means you’ll get some nice lines, but it might be a bit fat on the beach break, so look for the jetty end where it might wrap in a bit better.
