The Lowdown
Righto, let’s see what’s in the water for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at Toquay Reef, a reef break that’s very consistent and loves a south-west swell. It’s an intermediate spot, and it can get a few guys out there.
Water temp is about 57°, pretty normal for the season.
The first real window opens up Saturday afternoon, July 25th. There’s a solid 10-foot SW groundswell with a 12-second period, but the wind is blowing cross-off at 12 mph, so it’s not glassy. The energy is pumping at 3294 (strong), so there’s heaps of juice, but it’s a bit lumpy. Might be worth a late session if you’re keen.
Sunday the 26th is much cleaner. The swell drops to 4 feet from the SSW, period 11 seconds, and the wind turns offshore Sunday afternoon—light at 6 mph. Combined energy is 274 (weak). Not big, but it’ll be smooth and fun.
The big standout is Saturday, August 1st. The morning is clear, light offshore wind at 6 mph, with a 2-foot SW swell that has a very long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is 541 (moderate). The reef will love that. The afternoon is even better—swell bumps to 5 feet, same SW direction, 17-second period, and glassy offshore wind. Combined energy hits 1221 (moderate to strong). This is the session to circle. Clean, powerful, and those long-period lines will be unreal on the reef.
Tuesday the 28th of July also has a decent morning: offshore wind at 15 mph, 4-foot SW swell, 13-second period, and combined energy of 444 (moderate). It’s clean, just a bit windy.
Later on, Thursday the 6th of August morning is another cracker. Clear skies, light cross-off breeze from the NNE at 6 mph, and a 4-foot SW swell with a 17-second period. Combined energy is 1006 (moderate), and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a clean, long-period groundswell, perfect for the reef.
There’s a gap after the 9th of August, with a 10-foot pulse on Sunday morning, but the wind is cross-on and choppy—not great for paddle surfing. That setup looks more like a kite session.
The best of the lot is Saturday, August 1st, especially the afternoon. Clean, offshore, solid groundswell—the reef will be on.

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.
