The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Towradgi. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a proper pulse building for the second week if you’ve got the patience for it.

We’re kicking off the first few days with nothing to write home about. Monday the 3rd has some small, surfable knee-high waves around 3ft from the SE, but it’s ordinary. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Tuesday and Wednesday are flat out poor – tiny waves and not worth the paddle. The whole first week is a write-off, honestly. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations until we get a glimmer on Thursday the 6th morning, but it’s still just small and weak (combined energy of 67). Not a standout.

Friday the 7th morning is where it gets a little interesting. We’ve got glassy conditions with a light offshore wind from the SW, and the swell is 3ft from the S. It’s clean, but still small. The energy is moderate (125). It’s surfable, but you’re not going to be telling your mates about it. Saturday the 8th morning is also glassy, but again, tiny.

Now, hold onto your wetsuit. The real action is the week after. Monday the 14th of August is the standout. The Friday morning of the 14th is looking *good*. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the S, glassy conditions with no wind, and the combined energy is pumping at 517. That’s proper. The afternoon gets a bit big and a bit messy – 10ft from the S with a 12-second period, but the wind turns onshore. That’s expert territory and a bit of a gamble with the tide. The morning session is the pick.

Saturday the 15th morning is still solid at 6ft from the S, but the wind is a light cross-on, so it’s not as clean as Friday. Still, it’s got energy (583). Sunday the 16th morning is glassy again with a 4ft S swell (229 energy), and Monday the 17th morning is also glassy with a 4ft SE swell (318 energy). Those are both good, clean options for the more experienced crew.

The best of the whole 16 days is Friday the 14th morning. The swell is 6ft from the S, it’s glassy, and the energy is strong. It’s a reef break that’s very consistent, so it’ll be lining up. The wind is offshore from the SSE, which is a good direction for Towradgi. Just be aware, it can get crowded here sometimes, so get there early.

The rest of the second week is solid but not as special. Overall, it’s a slow start, then a real treat for those who can wait.

Rusty.

Information about the Towradgi Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Towradgi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Towradgi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Towradgi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Towradgi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Towradgi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Towradgi is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Port Kembla. If you plan a holiday in Illawarra, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Kembla. Port Kembla has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
