Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down over the next couple of weeks.
Things start off a bit slow, but we get some action later on. The water's about average temperature for the season, so no big changes there.
The spot we're looking at is Toquay Reef. It's a reef break for intermediate surfers, very consistent, and it likes a southwest swell.
Monday the 6th starts clean in the morning. Swell is 4ft from the SSW, with a 14-second period. That's a decent groundswell with moderate energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, so the waves will be clean. Afternoon turns a bit cross-on, so morning's the move.
Tuesday the 7th is all about the glass. Zero wind in the morning. Swell at 4ft from the SW, with a long 17-second period. That's proper energy, and the reef will turn that into good shape. Afternoon gets a little onshore, so get out early.
Wednesday the 8th sees the swell bump to 4ft in the morning, but the wind is cross-on, so it'll be a little bumpy. Still, there's plenty of energy. Afternoon pushes to 5ft, but the wind stays cross-on.
Thursday the 9th drops back to 3ft, but the wind goes cross-off in the morning. Clean, but smaller. Friday the 10th is similar – clean mornings, small southwest swell around 4ft.
Now, the weekend of the 11th and 12th is flat and windy. Skip it.
But Monday the 13th? That's a big jump. 10ft in the morning from the SW, 15-second period. Strong energy. Clean with a moderate offshore wind. By afternoon it's 12ft and the energy is huge. That's for experts only – too big for anyone else.
Tuesday the 14th drops to 5ft in the morning, but still with offshore wind and a 12-second period. Excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon has 4ft with a very long 17-second period. The reef will handle that nicely.
The standout is Thursday the 16th of July. Morning is exceptional: 12ft from the SW, 15-second period, and the energy is massive. Glassy conditions with a light offshore wind. That's an expert-only session, but it's the best of the whole outlook. Absolute perfection. Afternoon pushes to 13ft, but the wind goes cross-on.
After that, Friday the 17th is back to a cleaner 5ft. Saturday the 18th is a bit bumpy. Sunday the 19th has strong wind and a short 8-second period in the afternoon – not great.
So, the pick of the run is definitely the morning of Thursday the 16th. Tuesday the 14th is also solid for a more manageable size.
Rusty out.

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.
