The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Toes Over over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim stretch. We're looking at a pretty barren run here. The forecast kicks off on Friday the 11th, but honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We're stuck in a rut with weak to moderate wave energy (values between 101 and 279 for the first week). Most days are a write-off with "poor surf conditions". Saturday the 12th, Sunday the 13th, Monday the 14th... it's all the same story. Small, messy, and not worth the effort. There's a bit of a bump on Wednesday the 16th morning with the energy up to 232, but it's still just 2ft of long-period SW groundswell and a cross-onshore breeze, so it won't be any good.
Things start to look a tiny bit more interesting from Thursday the 19th. We see the combined energy creeping up into the moderate range (271 on Thursday, 344 Saturday afternoon, 403 on Sunday the 20th morning). The swell stays small at 2ft to 3ft, but it's still coming from the SW with a nice long period (17 to 18 seconds). The problem is, the wind keeps messing it up – cross-onshore from the SSE or WSW.
The real standout window, and I say that with caution, is the morning of Monday the 21st. We've got 3ft of SW swell, a solid 17-second period, and the combined energy is at a decent 417. It's still only "poor surf conditions" because of that light cross-onshore breeze from the SSE, but it's the best we've got. If the wind backs off, there could be a few clean ones.
After that, it fades again. The energy drops back into the 200s for the rest of the period, with similar onshore winds. The wave energy is consistently moderate (200-300 range) but the quality just isn't there.
To sum it up: this is a tough fortnight. If you're desperate, the morning of Monday the 21st is your best bet, but don't expect magic. The long period groundswell we keep seeing is better suited to a point or a reef, but Toes Over is a beach/jetty setup, so it'll be fat and straight. This is looking more like a session for the kite crew than for a paddle surfer. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it.
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. 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.
