Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Towradgi over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a slow start, but there’s a decent run of swell ahead if you’re patient. The first real action kicks off on Friday, July 24th. The morning is looking solid with a clean 4ft swell from the south, a light cross-offshore breeze, and moderate wave energy (300). It’s a reef break, so that south groundswell with a 9-second period should wrap in nicely. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild.

The standout session, though, is Saturday, July 25th. The morning has a clean 4ft south swell, light offshore breeze, and good energy (403). But the real magic is Saturday afternoon – glassy conditions, 3ft of south swell, and a light period of 10 seconds. That’s the kind of afternoon you’ll be telling your mates about. It’s a very consistent break, so you’ll get waves, but it can get crowded sometimes, so be ready to share.

Sunday, July 26th is also worth a paddle. The morning offers 4ft of south swell, a light offshore breeze, and strong energy (385). It’s cloudy, but clean. The afternoon gets a bit onshore and messy, so get out there early.

Things quieten down from Monday, July 27th through the end of the month. The swell drops right off, with tiny, mushy waves and poor conditions. There’s a full week of flat, boring water until Thursday, July 30th.

Now, Thursday, July 30th brings a big jump in swell, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. The morning sees 8ft of south swell with a short 9-second period and very strong energy (1141). The afternoon gets even bigger at 12ft, with a longer 11-second period and massive energy (2454). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but these waves are well over 8ft – expert territory only. The short period means it’s going to be powerful and a bit fat at the beach, but this reef setup can handle it. This is your big, heavy session for the pros.

Friday, July 31st is a write-off. The swell is still huge (10ft to 8ft) but the wind is a near gale – 34 mph. The surf is poor, dangerous, and not worth the risk.

The first week of August starts to settle. Saturday, August 1st has a solid 7ft SSE swell in the morning with moderate energy (1277), and the afternoon drops to a clean 5ft with light winds. That afternoon session is the best bet for the second week. It’s still a bit big for beginners, but a solid option for intermediates.

After that, the surf dwindles. Sunday, August 2nd through to Wednesday, August 6th is mostly small, weak, and messy. August 7th looks promising again – Friday morning has 3ft of ESE swell, a 10-second period, a light offshore wind, and good energy (291). It’s clean and should offer some fun, lined-up waves. But it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

Overall, the best windows are Saturday, July 25th for the glassy, clean conditions, and Thursday, July 30th for the big, powerful swell if you’ve got the skill. The second week is a bit of a gamble, with Saturday, August 1st afternoon being the most reliable.

That’s how it’s looking. Keep your wetsuit handy and your eyes on the horizon.

Rusty.
