Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a run of small, average days to kick things off. The first real window that catches the eye is Sunday the 12th of July. The wind is howling out of the northwest at 19 mph, but it’s offshore, which is a major positive. That’s going to groom things nicely. The swell is a solid 13 ft from the southwest, with combined swell energy hitting 6258, so there is serious power in the water. That’s expert territory for sure, way too big for beginners. The period is 13 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell with some punch. Toquay Reef handles that direction well, but it’s going to be a heavy one.

Then Monday the 13th of July, we drop back to 7 ft from the southwest, still with strong offshore wind around 19 mph out of the WNW. The energy is still very high at 2352. This is still a solid, powerful wave, but it’s come down a notch from Sunday. Still, if you’re an experienced surfer, Monday morning could dish up some clean, lined-up reef waves. The crowd situation? Toquay Reef can get busy sometimes, so keep that in mind.

Into Tuesday the 14th of July, the morning looks excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got 6 ft of southwest swell with a 16-second period, which is a long-period groundswell. Wind is a gentle 9 mph from the WNW and offshore, so the surface is going to be clean and glassy. The energy is still strong at 2603. Because of that long period, this is the kind of day where the reef will really focus the energy, giving you some long, clean shoulders, but also longer lulls between sets. The crowd might be there, but the quality will be worth it.

After that, things drop off significantly through the middle of the week, with smaller, wind-affected surf. The next standout is Thursday the 16th of July morning. Only 4 ft of swell, but the wind is from the SSE at 3 mph and glassy. The energy is moderate at 685, and with a 15-second period, it’ll be a clean, fun small-wave day.

Then Friday the 17th of July morning is another highlight for experienced surfers. We’ve got 6 ft of southwest swell with a 17-second period, so that’s a long-period groundswell with nice power (1729 energy). The wind is a light northerly at 3 mph, which is cross-off and clean. The waves should have some shape and push, and the long period will keep the lineups organized.

From the 18th onward, it’s mostly small and fading, with the occasional tiny window. The last week looks pretty poor overall, with a few knee-high days and messy onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: the standout morning for the experienced crew is Sunday the 12th of July, with that big 13 ft swell and strong offshore wind, but it’s a heavy one. For the rest of us, Tuesday the 14th of July morning, and Friday the 17th of July morning are the pick of the better-conditioned days, with cleaner conditions and solid, long-period groundswell.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.

Information about the Toquay Reef Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Toquay Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Toquay Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Toquay Reef 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 (Toquay Reef) 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 Toquay Reef 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.
