Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks. We’re gonna be focusing on Towradgi, a solid little reef set-up that handles a south swell.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are tiny, with barely a bump. You’ve got swell heights under 3ft and the energy is weak – readings like 172 and 25 for that combined energy. It’s just not worth paddling out.

Then we hit a flat spell from Wednesday the 29th into the early hours of Thursday the 30th. Swell drops to 0.3ft with next to no energy (8 and 12). That’s a proper lull.

Now, things get interesting for the experienced crew. Thursday morning, July 30th, is a serious standout. The swell jumps to 7ft from the south with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a hefty 1135 – that’s a lot of power. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it’ll be groomed. This is proper heavy, expert-only territory. Anything over 8ft is a handful, and this is close. Be smart out there.

Friday morning, July 31st, is another good call. Glassy conditions with a 7ft south swell (884 energy). That’s a big, clean wave on the reef, but again, only for those with experience. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

After that, the weekend and the start of next week drop back into the mediocre zone. Swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but winds get messy – cross-shore and cross-on – and the energy drops (267, 339). Not your best bet.

Looking further out, there’s another pulse from the south around Tuesday morning, August 4th. Not as big, 5ft with a short period, but with a good offshore wind it should be okay for a sneaky session.

The second week is mostly blown out or choppy, but Sunday morning, August 9th, offers a clean 6ft from the east with a gentler breeze. It’s promising, but we’re a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Also, on Monday morning, August 10th, a 5ft east-northeast swell with a light cross-off wind could be clean, but it’s a week and a half away, so don’t bank on it.

Bottom line: the best of the 16 days is Thursday morning the 30th and Friday morning the 31st of July for the strong surfers. The rest is a whole lot of waiting around for a clean window.

Rusty.
