Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Towradgi. The next couple of days are pretty ordinary, but there is a decent window that shapes up as the pick of the forecast. The water is sitting at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Alright, so we kick off Wednesday the 26th. Not a lot going on. Light rain and a moderate cross-off wind make for clean conditions in the morning, but the swell is a weak 3ft from the NE with a short 8-second period and combined energy of just 145. That’s weak stuff. The afternoon gets worse with cross-shore wind and a messy 5ft SSE swell. Honestly, you’re better off waiting.

Thursday the 27th is where it gets interesting. Morning looks excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a solid 7ft S swell rolling in with an 8-second period and a massive combined energy of 1185. That’s strong, punchy energy. The wind is light cross-off from the SSW, keeping it clean. This is the standout session in the whole forecast – size, power, and decent conditions. It’s going to be too big for beginners, but if you’ve got the chops, get out there. Towradgi is a reef break, so it handles that S swell nicely. Afternoon drops off a bit with a smaller 5ft SSE swell and a light cross-on breeze – best to get it in the morning.

Friday the 28th has potential but a few question marks. Morning sees a 5ft SSE swell with an 11-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy – and combined energy of 671. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect but surfable. The longer period means better shape but longer lulls between sets. The afternoon turns choppy with a stronger cross-onshore, so aim for the early session.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th fade a bit. Saturday morning has a 4ft SE swell, 10-second period, and 408 energy, with light cross-shore wind – small but maybe a few fun ones. Sunday morning is glassy with a clean 3ft S swell, but it’s only 8 seconds and 213 energy – weak and small. You might get a knee-high wave if you’re desperate.

After that, from Monday the 31st right through to Tuesday the 10th of September, it’s a long run of poor to ordinary conditions. Swells drop below 3ft, winds turn onshore or cross-off, and energy levels stay low, mostly under 200. There are occasional clean pockets with offshore or glassy winds, like the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September with a clean 2ft S swell and full offshore, but it’s tiny. The best you can say is it’s surfable but very ordinary. The combined energy drops into the double digits by early September, and by the weekend of the 5th and 6th, you’re looking at 1ft waves with fresh offshore wind – flat, really.

The standout is unmissable: Thursday morning, the 27th of August, with that 7ft S swell and light cross-off wind at Towradgi. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. After that, it’s a long wait for anything worthwhile.

Rusty.
