Tower Road Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a tough run for Tower Road. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell the whole way through, and the conditions are just never coming together to make it worthwhile. There’s a lot of days of poor surf, with the combined energy of all swells directed here topping out at a weak 65, and most of the time it’s below that.

Starting out Friday the 3rd of July, we’ve got nothing doing – tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft surf with a short period, and the wind is messy. That pattern just keeps repeating day after day. Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th – more of the same. There’s a moment on Sunday morning where it goes glassy, but the swell is just a pathetic 0.7 ft, so it’s not worth getting excited about.

The whole first week is a struggle. We see a few glimpses of clean conditions, like Tuesday the 7th afternoon with glassy conditions and some clean offshore wind on the Tuesday morning, but the wave height is only 2 ft to 2 ft with a short period. It’s just not enough push.

Moving into the second week, there’s no real improvement. The swell stays small, mostly between 0.7 ft and 3 ft. The period is consistently short, often under 8 seconds, meaning the waves will be weak and crumbly. The best we see is Sunday the 12th afternoon, with 3 ft swell and clean conditions, but the combined energy is only 65 – it’s just not a meaningful wave. Even the offshore winds that show up from time to time can’t save it when there’s no swell to work with. For a spot that’s exposed to the swell, it’s just a long, flat spell. Given how small and weak the surf is, this setup would be far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no standout day here; it’s a two-week gap with no real recommendations.

Stay patient, this patch of nothing will turn around eventually.
