The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at this.
We’re looking at a quiet stretch at Toes Over for the first week. The water is about 73°F, which is a remarkable 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual warm anomaly, you’ll be noticing it.
Honestly, the first real surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, August 14th. That’s an 8-day gap of nothing but "poor surf conditions" from the start. That Thursday morning brings a tiny 1ft south-southwest swell with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate (299). The wind is light and onshore, so it’s clean but small. It’s a marginal call – questionable tide, very small. For a break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the southwest, this is the first real sign of life.
The next day, Friday, August 15th, the morning sees a bump to 3ft from the southwest, period 16 seconds (still a decent long-period groundswell). The combined energy jumps to strong (404). The wind is light and onshore again. This is the best looking window in the whole 16 days. It’s still small, but the swell energy is there, and the break is an advanced-level spot. It keeps things clean.
Saturday, August 16th morning holds at 3ft from the same direction, period 16 seconds, energy still strong (327). Light onshore wind again. Another marginal call, but it’s the best consistency we see.
After that, the swell fades back into the poor surf zone. The Tuesday, August 19th morning brings a 2ft south-southwest swell, period 16 seconds, energy moderate (160), but it’s a cross-onshore wind state and poor surf. The rest of the outlook is small, onshore, and poor.
The standout window is the morning of Friday, August 15th. That 3ft of long-period groundswell (16s) with light wind is the pick of the entire 16 days. It’s small, but for an advanced break, the quality of the swell and the clean conditions make it the only one worth circling on the calendar. The crowd situation at Toes Over can be *sometimes* busy, so you might have some company, but it’ll be worth it.
Keep in mind, with such a long period groundswell, this spot is a beach/jetty setup, so it might break a bit straight. It’s a caveat, but the energy is there.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
