The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at what we got for Toquay Reef over the next couple weeks.
Water temp’s sittin’ at 56°F, pretty average for this time of year. Overall, the pattern starts slow, then a solid pulse of SW groundswell builds through midweek into the weekend, before it fades and gets messy.
Sunday the 9th is a no-go. Small 2ft swell with a 19 mph cross-off breeze, weak energy (231). Poor.
Monday the 10th mornin’ is the first real standout. Clean 4ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and offshore wind at 12 mph. Energy’s pumpin’ at 1051. That’s excellent, experienced-surfer territory. The reef will love that long period. It’ll be glassy. The afternoon gets crossed and bumpy, so paddle out early.
Tuesday the 11th holds offshore all day. Mornin’ 3ft (476 energy), afternoon bumps to 4ft (628). Both clean and good.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th see the swell build. Wednesday mornin’ is 5ft (1228) with cross-off winds. Thursday afternoon is the pick – 6ft SW at 16 seconds, 1819 energy, with a gentle cross-off breeze. Clean and powerful.
Now, Friday the 14th mornin’ is the big one. 8ft SSW groundswell, 17 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind. Energy’s at 3276 – strong. This is for experts only. Clean and heavy. The afternoon gets crossed and lumpy.
Saturday the 15th drops to 5ft (1103) with light cross-shore wind – marginal. Sunday the 16th is 4ft with light cross-onshore, nothin’ special.
From Monday the 17th onward, it gets weak. Swell drops under 3ft, winds turn onshore. There's a small window on Tuesday the 18th mornin’ with 3ft SW at 15 seconds and a light cross-off breeze (448 energy) – surfable but ordinary. After that, it's poor and small all the way through the 24th.
Best on offer: Monday the 10th mornin’ for that clean, long-period glass. The absolute standout? Friday the 14th mornin’ – 8ft, clean, powerful. Experts only.

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.
