Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the Towradgi region. We've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, so let's break it down.

The next few days are pretty average, with small, weak swell and tricky winds. The water temp is sittin' where you'd expect for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

Friday the 7th starts off small. The morning brings a clean 2ft swell from the SSE, with a light offshore breeze. It's small and the energy is weak (96), but it's rideable if you're desperate for a paddle. The arvo turns ugly as the wind swings onshore, so don't bother.

Saturday the 8th has a tiny 2ft S swell in the morning, but the wind is dead glassy. It's a little ripply with a short 8-second period, and the energy is low (89), but a glassy morning is always worth a look for the longboard. The arvo gets chopped up by a strong northeasterly, so that's a write-off.

Sunday the 9th sees a bump in size to 3-3ft from the ENE, but the wind is all wrong – cross-shore and messy. The energy picks up to 260 in the arvo, but it's not gonna be any fun.

Monday the 10th has a bit more size, 5ft from the ENE in the morning. The wind is a fresh offshore from the WNW, keeping things clean. The energy is moderate (310), but the swell direction isn't ideal for Towradgi and it's still not a great quality wave. The arvo drops back down.

Tuesday the 11th is back to tiny 2ft S swells with a moderate offshore. It's clean, but there's no power there.

The end of the first week gets interesting. Thursday the 13th sees a jump in size to 6-7ft from the S. The energy is strong (686-881), but it's a bit of a raw swell and the winds are cross-shore, making it lumpy.

The real standout is Friday morning, August the 14th. We've got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE with a clean offshore breeze. The energy is pumping at 632, and with light wind and clean conditions, this is your best shot. It's a bit of size for beginners, but for the experienced crew, Towradgi reef should be offering up some proper waves. Get on it early before the wind shifts onshore in the arvo.

After that, things go pretty flat and messy again. Saturday the 15th has some clean 4ft surf in the morning, but the wind is howlin'. The second week looks mostly poor, with small, weak swells and onshore winds dominating. There's a little spike around Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd, with some 6-7ft S swells showing up, but the wind looks messy and the periods are short, so it's a long-range prospect that probably won't deliver.

Overall, if you can, make the call for Friday the 14th. That's the one to circle on the calendar.
