The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s shaking at Toquay Reef.
The next little while is a slow burner, but there’s some real quality coming down the line. Water temp is about 56°F, which is normal for the season – no surprises there.
Thursday morning starts off with a clean 3ft SSW swell with a light offshore, but the energy is moderate (202). It’s rideable, just not exciting. Thursday afternoon drops to 2ft.
Friday morning brings a longer period – 18 seconds from the SW – with 3ft and a cross-off wind. Energy is picking up (681), but it’s still small. The real standout is Monday morning, the 31st of August. Clean 5ft SSW swell, 14-second period, light offshore, and solid energy (1,134). That’s a good session for the confident surfer.
Monday afternoon, the 31st of August is the pick of the whole forecast. Glassy conditions, 5ft SW swell, and a 15-second period pumping energy (1,537). That’s about as clean as it gets for Toquay Reef. Mark it in your calendar.
Tuesday the 1st of September is a write-off – fresh winds blowing 18-22 mph, even offshore, making it a no-go. After that, a few days of average stuff.
Thursday the 3rd of September looks better with moderate offshore winds and 6ft SW swell – energy is high (1,522). It’s a bit strong for the faint-hearted, but for experienced surfers, it’s a good option.
Looking ahead, Wednesday the 9th of September and Thursday the 10th are shaping up nicely. Wednesday afternoon has 8ft SW swell with a 16-second period and moderate offshore – energy is very strong (3,019). That’s expert-only, but the quality is top-tier. Friday the 11th of September also holds clean 7-7ft SW groundswell with gentle offshore winds, a solid close to the run.
Bottom line: Monday the 31st of August is the one to aim for, with Wednesday the 9th of September as a close second. The glassy Monday afternoon session is not to be missed.
Rusty.

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.
