Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Towradgi. Let’s get into it.

Right now we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way. The first couple of days are pretty quiet, with only small, average waves on offer, but the good news is there’s a glimmer of quality in the middle if you time it right. The real standout, though, sits way out at the end of the window – Wednesday the 26th – and it looks like a proper session for the experienced crew.

Starting out, Wednesday the 12th morning shows some clean surf with a 3ft swell from the south, light offshore winds from the WNW at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (218). It’s not big, but it’s rideable and glassy enough to have a fun little session. Afternoon drops off a bit with the swell easing to 3ft, and the wind picks up to 12 mph, keeping it clean but average. Thursday the 13th morning is clean again with 3ft south swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds – it’s a bit weak and ordinary. By Thursday afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SE, making a mess of the 4ft swell. Skip that.

Friday the 14th morning is a beauty for the tiny stuff – glassy conditions, 3ft south swell, no wind, and a score that says good surf. The swell energy is moderate (203). Friday afternoon gets ruined by onshore wind. Saturday the 15th is a write-off: strong south winds at 16 mph, 6ft swell but cross and choppy. Sunday and Monday are no better – onshore winds, rain, and messy waves. We hit a dry spell from Saturday morning right through to Wednesday the 19th.

Tuesday the 18th morning has marginal 5ft swell and light cross-onshore wind – nothing to get excited about. Wednesday the 19th is similar, with small waves and light cross-shore breezes.

Then, on Thursday the 20th morning, hope returns. Glassy conditions, 5ft swell from the east, and a combined energy of 308 – it’s clean and shapely. That’s a solid morning session for a sensible surfer. The swell period is 8 seconds, so beach breaks will be fine, but nothing special.

Now, the real highlight: Saturday the 22nd morning. Towradgi is a reef break, and this session looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 6 mph. The swell is 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 496. This is a quality window for experienced surfers, with the reef handling that longer period nicely. It’s not for beginners, but it’s got juice and shape. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.

Finally, Wednesday the 26th morning. This is the big one. Glassy conditions, 13ft swell from the south, 10-second period, and a combined energy that screams power – 2874. This is for experts only, and it’s a very strong, heavy swell. The reef at Towradgi will be handling a ton of water. The wind is dead calm. This is a standout, but you’ll need serious skill and the right board. Thursday the 27th morning still has 8ft swell, but cross-shore winds make it messy and only for the brave.

To sum it up: this fortnight has a lot of average days, but the standout sessions are Thursday morning 20th for clean, fun waves, and Saturday morning the 22nd for a proper groundswell at the reef. If you’re after raw power and you’re experienced, mark Wednesday the 26th morning on your calendar – that’s the one.

Rusty.
