Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Towradgi. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but we've got some windows if you're keen.

The first few days offer a bit of clean surf, but the real standout is a solid pulse of swell coming through the following week. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Let's start with Thursday the 3rd. It's a small one, with 2ft south swell. The wind is off the land, but very ordinary conditions; it's a pass.

Friday the 4th is where it gets interesting. The morning session is a beauty. We've got a clean 4ft south swell, period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is moderate (232), and it's going to be a great morning for a paddle. The afternoon turns to junk with a cross-on breeze, so get in early.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a write-off with poor conditions.

Now, Monday the 7th morning is another clean one. A 4ft swell from the SSE with a light cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (206). It's a decent option, but the real goods are coming.

Tuesday the 8th morning is a big one, but it's not for everyone. You're looking at 7ft south swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1027), but the wind is cross-shore, making it a bit of a lumpy mess. If you're a beginner, this is too big and messy. For the experts, it's a challenge, but the quality is questionable.

The real standout of the whole 16-day window is Thursday the 10th morning. We've got a solid 8ft south swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The combined energy is massive (3111), so this is a serious, powerful groundswell. This is only for experienced surfers, as it's well over the 8ft mark. The size and power will be a spectacle, and the cross-off wind will make for some memorable waves at Towradgi. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, so the morning is the only window.

The rest of the week into the second week is a bit hit and miss. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have some knee-to-waist high swell but are plagued by onshore winds. The energy is moderate (718 and 249), but the conditions are marginal.

From Sunday the 13th through to the end of the forecast on the 18th, it's pretty grim. A lot of onshore winds, lumpy surf, and small, weak swells. There's a morning on the 17th with a bit of a clean offshore wind and a 5ft swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the energy is weak (217). It's not worth getting excited about.

So, the bottom line: if you're an expert, clear your calendar for the morning of Thursday the 10th. That's the big one. For everyone else, the glassy morning on Friday the 4th is your best bet for a fun, clean session.

Rusty.
