Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get right into it for the Towradgi stretch.

This 16-day window opens with a bit of a slow start, but there’s a clean, fun-sized weekend on the horizon. The first real action kicks off Saturday morning, August 1st, with a tidy 5ft SSE swell hitting the reef. The wind is a light cross-off, and the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The energy is moderate (356), so you’ll feel some push. It’s a solid warm-up for the day, and then Saturday afternoon goes glassy on us with 5ft – that’s a real treat for a late arvo session.

Now, if you’re looking for the standout, you’ve got to lock in Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’ve got a proper pulse of SE groundswell, 5ft at 12 seconds – that’s a long period, so it’s gonna bend and wrap nicely around the reef. The combined energy jumps to 673 (moderate-strong), and with a clean north cross-off, it’s going to be some of the best waves of the whole outlook. The afternoon turns to mush with a strong NE cross-on, so get out early.

Monday morning, August 3rd, is a drop-off to 3ft, but it’s clean. Not a lot of power (170), but you could get a fun little board out. The real return of energy hits Wednesday afternoon, August 5th. That 6ft S swell with a moderate offshore wind is pumping out 746 units of energy. It’s a bit punchy, so it’s not for beginners, but for the crew who know the reef, it’s gonna be good.

There’s a bit of a lull after that. Thursday morning, August 6th, is glassy again with 5ft, which is nice, but the next few days are mostly small, choppy, or cross-on. The 12th of August sees a jump to 6ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, turning it into a lumpy mess. That’s kite-surfing weather, not clean paddle surfing.

The real bonus for the patient crew comes at the very end of the run. On Saturday morning, August 15th, we get a weird one: 3ft of SSE swell, but with a period of 21 seconds – that’s extraordinary. The energy is pumping at 980. It’s glassy, so it’ll be clean, but that kind of period can make a beach break straighten out. On a reef like Towradgi, it’s going to be lined up and beautiful. That’s the long-range promise, and I’d keep an eye on it.

Then Sunday morning, August 16th, is another cracker: 4ft SSE at 13 seconds, with a light cross-off and 995 energy. That’s a solid finish to the outlook.

So, the best on offer is Sunday morning, August 2nd. The dark horse is Saturday morning, August 15th – that weird long-period glassy session could be magic.

Rusty.
