The Lowdown
Alright, mates, here's the same story in feet and inches. The start of the run is a bust. We got a stretch of dirty wind and ugly water until the end of the week.
Thursday the 15th sees a solid 8ft swell from the SW, but the wind is screaming from the WSW at 19 mph, so it'll be lumpy and hard to manage.
The real payoff comes Friday the 18th. Toquay Reef is looking at a clean 4.2ft to 4.6ft SW groundswell, with pure offshore wind out of the NW at 12 mph. This is the one. The water is 57.4°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season.
This clean, offshore pattern holds through Saturday (3.9ft SW) and Sunday (around 3ft SW). The next big set arrives Monday the 21st. Swell jumps to 5.6ft to 5.9ft from the SSW, and the wind drops to a whisper – almost glassy at 3 mph from the WSW in the afternoon. Tuesday the 22nd is another prime day with a 6.2ft SSW groundswell and a super long 16-second period, perfect for the reef. Light offshore winds from the NNW seal the deal.
We get a drop-off mid-week before another solid pulse hits Friday the 25th: a 5.6ft SW swell with a massive 17-second period and light offshore NW winds.
The best sessions are the afternoons of Friday the 18th and Monday the 21st. For the experienced lads, Tuesday the 22nd is the top call. The place can get some company on these days, but the quality makes it worth it.

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.
