Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna lie to ya – the next week and a bit at Towradgi is a real mixed bag. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell on the way, but the wind and timing are gonna make you work for the good ones. The real standout is shaping up to be Thursday the 13th, and there’s another little window late in the period that’s worth keeping an eye on.

First up, we kick off with Monday the 10th. It’s rainy, there’s a 5 ft swell from the ENE, but a strong 35 km/h NW wind is making a mess of it. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year. Not a surfer’s session. Tuesday the 11th looks a lot better. The morning brings a clean 3 ft south swell with a 12-second period and a solid 30 km/h offshore wind. It’s clean, but the energy is a bit low. Keep an eye on Tuesday afternoon though – the south swell bumps up to 5 ft, the period is 10 seconds, and we’ve got a 20 km/h offshore wind out of the west. The combined energy is moderate at 586, and the conditions are lining up for a very good session. Wednesday the 12th is a bit of a step down. The morning is clean with a 3 ft south swell and a 15 km/h offshore, but it’s not firing. Afternoon drops off pretty quick.

Now, Thursday the 13th. This is the one. The morning is looking excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a solid 8 ft south swell, a 9-second period, and a light 10 km/h cross-off breeze. The combined energy is a meaty 1268, so there’s plenty of power behind it. The waves are gonna be chunky, so this is not for the groms. The afternoon gets a bit sloppy as the wind swings cross-on, so get on it early.

Friday the 14th through to Sunday the 16th is a write-off. The swell drops and the wind is all over the shop. Most of these sessions are junk. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are more of the same – small, weak, and messy. Wednesday the 19th is not much better.

Then we get a little glimmer. Thursday morning the 20th is dead flat with a 3 ft ESE swell, but the wind is absolutely glassy – zero wind. The water is still clean, but the waves are small and ordinary. It’s a skunk session unless you’re on a log. Friday the 21st is also glassy in the morning with a tiny 1 ft SSE swell, but it’s just not enough push.

The real second standout comes on Tuesday the 25th. The morning session is showing a 6 ft south swell, a 8-second period, and a light 10 km/h offshore wind out of the northwest. The combined energy is very strong at 709, and the conditions are clean. This one is a good bet for a solid session, though it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

Overall, Thursday the 13th morning is your best bet for some real power, and Tuesday the 25th morning is a promising long-range option. The rest of the time, you’ll be scratching for a wave.

Rusty.
