The Lowdown
Howdy crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Point Addis (reef, Victoria) for the next couple of weeks. No delay – wave action starts right now.
Tuesday morning the 8th is a low-key beauty. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a long 18-second period, and it’s dead glass with a light west wind. Water temp is 57°, normal for this time of year. Moderate wave energy at 1070 (moderate). This is for the experienced surfer – nice lines wrapping into the reef. Crowds can pop up sometimes, so get after it early.
Tuesday afternoon bumps to 5ft SW, but a 15 km/h SW wind rolls in and creates cross-shore chop. Still rideable, but the shine wears off.
Wednesday the 9th goes chaotic. Morning has 8ft from the SSW with 16-second period and a 30 km/h cross-wind making it lumpy. Afternoon hits 15ft SW with massive energy at 17064 (very strong). This is experts-only, and with that wind, it’s more of a kitesurfing setup than a paddle spot. Beginners stay well clear.
Thursday the 10th: 8ft in the morning with moderate cross-wind chop. Afternoon drops to 8ft but cross-onshore wind ruins it.
Friday the 11th – first real standout. Morning serves up 5ft SSW swell with 14-second period and glassy conditions. Brilliantly clean. Combined energy at 947 is moderate. The reef will groove on that. Experienced heads will love it. Crowds possible, but the quality is top shelf.
Saturday the 12th kicks off with 5ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a light N cross-off breeze – clean and lined up. Afternoon glassed off at 5ft SW – silky smooth.
Sunday the 13th offers 4ft to 3ft SW, clean in the morning but small. Not a highlight.
Monday the 14th to Tuesday the 15th: swell drops below 3ft and winds go onshore. A quiet spell of about a day and a half.
Wednesday the 16th sees 5ft SW swell return, but light cross-onshore wind keeps it bumpy. Passable.
Thursday the 17th – second standout. Morning delivers 5ft SW swell with 15-second period and a moderate N-NW offshore wind at 20 km/h. Clean, strong energy at 848. The reef will hold shape beautifully. Afternoon keeps 4ft SW with the same offshore breeze. Very solid.
Friday the 18th through Saturday the 19th: 3ft to 4ft SW swells, clean offshore winds. Small-scale fun.
Sunday the 20th: 5ft SW swell in the morning, light wind, clean. Good little session.
Monday the 21st – the big one at long range. About a week and a half out, this is promising but not locked. Morning shows 6ft SW swell with 16-second period and glass. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers, moderate energy at 1631. If that glass holds, it’s a classic.
Tuesday the 22nd: 5ft SW with 17-second period and light offshore N wind. Clean and powerful. Another cracking day.
Wednesday the 23rd winds down with 4ft to 5ft SW and clean cross-off breezes. Moderate energy.
Overall, Point Addis has a couple of absolute gems – focus on the 11th and the 21st. The reef stays consistent and rewards the crew who paddle out.
Rusty.

Information about the Point Addis Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Point Addis provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point Addis can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Point Addis surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Point Addis) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Point Addis may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Point Addis is 29 km (18 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
