Table - best surf conditions forecast for Toquay Reef over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming at Torquay Reef (Torquay). This is a reef break, so it’s all about the SW swell and the wind.
Water temp is about 57°F – nothing wild, just normal for the season.
Monday the 13th starts with a solid 8ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) and a fresh 35 km/h NW offshore. Clean, but the energy is big (2481). The report says marginal, so tide might be a factor. Tuesday the 14th is similar – 8ft, cross-off wind, still clean but not magic.
The best early window is Wednesday the 15th. The swell drops to a really nice 6ft, period at 15 seconds, and a light 15 km/h offshore from the WNW. Energy is moderate (1237) and conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle. The break is very consistent, but it can get a crowd sometimes.
Thursday the 16th is 6ft but the wind goes cross-shore, then cross-on – lumpy. Friday the 17th bounces back: 5ft to 6ft, and by afternoon it’s glassy with a 5 km/h NE breeze. The period hits 17 seconds, energy is moderate (1470), and conditions are excellent. That afternoon glass-off is a beauty.
The weekend goes small. Saturday the 18th has 3ft, Sunday the 19th drops to 2ft. Still clean but tiny. The next week is mostly small and windy, with a couple of poor days on the 22nd and 23rd.
Then, on Friday the 24th of July, a late pulse: 7ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period, and a light 10 km/h offshore from the NNW. Energy jumps to 2764. That’s serious groundswell for a reef – heavy, fast, expert-only. It’s a week and a half out, so it’s a watch-and-see, but it’s got real potential.
Sunday the 26th also looks good: 6ft to 6ft SSW swell with a clean offshore WNW breeze.
Best bets: Wednesday the 15th and Friday the 17th for the first week, and Friday the 24th as the long-range standout if you’re up for 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.
