Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming up for Towradgi. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few windows where it’ll be worth wetting a line.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a lull. The first real chance to get out isn’t until Sunday, August 2nd. The morning offers a clean 5ft southeast swell, with a 12-second period pushing some moderate energy (804). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the north, so there’s a little texture, but it’s not terrible. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year. That afternoon, though, the wind swings northeast and picks up to 19 mph, turning it lumpy and cross-onshore. Not worth it.

Monday, August 3rd, shapes up better. The morning has a clean 3ft southeast swell, period dropping to 10 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north-northwest – that’s a nice setup. The energy is moderate (204), and it’ll be clean. The afternoon gets even better with a light offshore from the west and 2ft swell. It’s small, but it’ll be glassy and fun.

Tuesday, August 4th, is a write-off. The swell drops to 0.7ft, and it’s basically flat. That pattern sticks around for a few days, with only tiny, weak swells until we get to Wednesday, August 5th. That afternoon, a 3ft south swell with an 8-second period and a light cross-offshore wind from the southwest will bring clean waves and moderate energy (222). It’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit dumpy, but it’s rideable.

Thursday, August 6th, is another solid morning. The swell holds at 4ft from the south, period still 8 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the west-southwest. The energy is moderate (205), and it’s clean. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the east-northeast, muddying things up.

Now, here’s the standout for the whole period. Friday, August 7th, morning. The wind is dead calm, glassy. The swell is 4ft from the south with a 9-second period, and the energy is moderate (208). This is your best window. Perfect conditions for Towradgi’s reef break. The wave quality will be smooth, clean, and the crowds are sometimes an issue, but on a Friday morning, you might get lucky.

After that, from Saturday, August 8th, all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, the story is the same: tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with poor surf conditions most days. There are a few glimpses of offshore winds, like on Monday, August 10th, with a 2ft swell from the east-northeast and a fresh offshore, but it’s just too small. The energy readings are all in the double digits or low triple digits, confirming it’s weak. Things don’t pick up again until the very end of the forecast, around Sunday, August 16th, when the swell sticks at 2ft from the east-northeast but the wind is a fresh offshore. Still small, but it’s clean.

So, to wrap it up: your best bet is Friday morning, August 7th. That glassy 4ft south swell is the pick of the bunch. Don’t get too excited about the second week – it’s a long stretch of flatness with only a few clean but tiny windows.

Rusty.
