Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Towradgi.

The outlook starts off with a bit of a wait. The first decent chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Friday morning, July 31st. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the south, with a light cross-off breeze making for some nice lines. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a bonus. The combined energy is moderate (474), so there’s some push behind it. The morning looks like the go, but by Friday afternoon, that cross-shore wind picks up and the swell jumps a bit to 7 ft, turning it into a bit of a mess – not worth it.

Saturday and Sunday mornings are surfable, but nothing to write home about. Saturday morning has a clean 5 ft from the SSE, but the energy’s dropped off (342). Sunday morning is the real standout for the first week. August 2nd, we’ve got a groundswell from the SE, 5 ft, with a long 12-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze from the north. The energy is solid (675). This is a proper reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s a very consistent spot, so you can expect waves. Just be aware, crowds are sometimes a thing here, but for a morning like this, it’s worth the company.

After Sunday arvo, the surf drops right off into a flat spell. Monday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 5th are pretty ordinary, with tiny waves and not much happening. There’s a bit of a pulse on Wednesday the 5th with a 3 ft south swell and offshore winds, but it’s not enough to get excited about.

Now, for the second week, we’ve got a promising window. Tuesday the 11th of August is looking like a beauty. The morning has a 5 ft south swell (434 energy) with a strong offshore, and the afternoon gets even better: 6 ft from the south, period dropping to 10 seconds, but the energy kicks up to 691 and the offshore wind holds. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. That’s a solid, clean day at the reef.

Wednesday the 12th morning has a quirky one: a 3 ft swell from the east with a very long 12-second period, but it’s blowing offshore. The energy is still moderate (441). It’s a bit of a gamble with that direction, but if it lines up, it could be a fun little session. The rest of the week after that is mostly small and clean, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing.

So, the pick is the Sunday morning of August 2nd, and then the standout is Tuesday the 11th of August, especially the afternoon session. Get out there for those.

Rusty.
