Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

We’ve got a slow start. Sunday the 5th brings a big swell but the wind is howling onshore from the southeast at 12 mph, making it a mess – skip it. Water temp is about average for the time of year.

Monday the 6th morning is where it turns. At Toquay Reef, we’ve got a clean 4ft SSW swell, period a solid 14 seconds, and a light north cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (810). It’s not big, but it’s clean and fun. This spot is very consistent, and crowds are possible sometimes, so get there early.

Tuesday the 7th is a beauty. Morning glass – no wind – with a 4ft SW groundswell, period stretching to 17 seconds. Energy is moderate (673). The waves will be glassy and perfect. The long period means good shape, and at a reef, the longer gaps between sets are fine.

Wednesday the 8th morning is the standout. Swell hits 4ft from the SW, period 18 seconds – a very long period groundswell. Energy is moderate-to-strong (1341). A light NNE cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions make this the pick of the week. Excellent for experienced surfers.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offer smaller, clean 3ft to 4ft SW swells with light offshores or glass – mellow but good.

Second week, things get big. On Monday the 13th of July, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW in the morning, 16-second period. Energy is strong (3519). Moderate WNW offshore wind keeps it clean. By afternoon, it’s pumping: 10ft SSW, 19-second period, energy very strong (7120). Exceptional for experts only – too big for everyone else.

Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th stay solid, with the 15th afternoon huge at 12ft SW, 16-second period, massive energy (8976) – experts only, cross-offshore wind, clean.

After that, the swell drops, with smaller 3ft to 6ft SW swells through the end of the week, clean but nothing standout compared to midweek.

The true standout is Wednesday morning the 8th of July for the best mix of size, quality, and clean wind. For the brave, the 13th and 15th of July afternoons are the big-swell highlights.

Stay safe.

Information about the Toquay Reef Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Toquay Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Toquay Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Toquay Reef 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 (Toquay Reef) 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 Toquay Reef 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.

Toquay Reef is 21 km (13 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.
