Towradgi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. Towradgi is your spot for the coming days, a consistent reef break that handles a south-east swell window best. We've got a bit of a slow start, but the week ahead shapes up with some real gems.

The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing to shock the system, just your standard winter chill.

The early part of the week is a write-off for anything decent. Wednesday the 22nd has some small 3ft waves from the ENE, but the swell energy is weak (204) and the period is short. It's not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 23rd is even smaller, with dropping energy and strong offshore winds making it a battle for a gutless wave. Give it a miss.

Now, Friday the 24th is our first real standout. The morning is where it's at. We've got a solid 7ft south swell rolling in, packing a massive punch of energy (1168). The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, so Towradgi will be firing with clean, well-shaped lines. This is proper groundswell with a 9-second period, so there's some push in it. At 7ft, it's getting into the realm of experienced surfers only, so if you're not confident in your abilities, watch from the rocks. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, so get on it early.

Saturday the 25th will still be fun. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the south, with moderate offshore winds keeping it clean. The energy is still good (428). It's a classic Saturday morning session.

Sunday the 26th is much the same: 5ft south swell, clean early with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy holds (387). It's a solid, dependable surf.

Then we hit a flat spell. From Monday the 27th through to Wednesday the 29th, the swell drops right out. Tiny, weak waves and onshore winds ruin things. This is a good few days to wax your board and do the家务.

Thursday the 30th is a big one, but it's a tricky one. We're looking at a solid 8ft south swell with a very long 12-second period, and the energy is massive (1879). This is a serious groundswell. However, the wind is a messy cross-onshore, and the break is a reef. That much power and a wonky wind will make for a washing machine. This is expert territory only, and even then, it's a challenge. Not the best call for a clean session.

Friday the 31st looks better. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the south, and the morning has a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy (340) is solid. It's a good, clean wave.

The first week of August starts slow. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are flat and weak. But then Monday the 3rd throws in a curveball. A 8ft south swell rolls in with a very short 8-second period, but strong cross-offshore winds will keep it reasonably clean. The energy is high (1123), but that short period means it'll be a bit fat and dumpy. It's a big, powerful, but ugly wave. Only for the strong.

The rest of the first week of August looks fun. Tuesday the 4th through to Thursday the 6th have consistent 4ft to 5ft swell from the east and southeast, with clean offshore winds. It's not a massive swell, but it's perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The energy is moderate (around 300). It's a nice, mellow run of surf to finish the outlook.

The standout is Friday the 24th morning. Get in the water early.
