Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, but I’ll get you the good oil first.

The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

The standout session is Thursday morning, the 27th of August, at Towradgi. This is a reef break, very consistent, and it’s exposed to the south. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the south, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1214, so there’s real power in the water. With a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW at 9 mph, conditions are clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – it’s got size, shape, and the wind is on your side. It’s the pick of the forecast.

After that, things drop off quickly. Thursday afternoon gets smaller and choppy, and Friday morning the 28th is a bit cross-shore and messy, with a 5ft SSE swell. The next few days are small, onshore, or just marginal. There’s a short window on Monday morning, the 31st of August, with glassy conditions and a long-period 2ft SSE swell at 16 seconds. That’s small, but the long period and clean face could offer a few fun ones if you’re on a longboard.

Then we hit a real flat spell. From Tuesday the 1st of September through to the 11th, it’s mostly tiny waves, under 3 feet, and often with poor winds. There are a few clean moments with offshore or glassy conditions, like Tuesday afternoon the 1st (3ft, cross-off), Wednesday the 2nd (2ft, offshore), and a couple of glassy mornings on the 6th, 9th, and 10th of September. But the swell is weak, with combined energy often under 100. It’s surfable for a longboard or a foiler, but nothing to get excited about.

The 7th of September gives a brief pulse to 5ft from the south again, but with cross-shore wind and a short period, it’s not clean. September 11th has a weird, very long-period 21-second swell from the SSE, but it’s only 1ft and cross-onshore – that’s a dud.

So, to sum it up: Thursday morning the 27th is your one true standout. The rest is a long stretch of small, often messy surf. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on those glassy moments for a tiny clean wave, but otherwise, this is a classic quiet winter pattern.

Rusty.
