The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a look at what’s coming up for Torquay Front Beach, starting now.
We’re looking at a long stretch of flatness. The first week offers basically nothing rideable.
Kicking off on July 14th, there’s no swell at all – combined energy is zero (0). Wind is blowing a cross-off at 18.6 mph, no waves. Wednesday the 15th has a gentle offshore wind, but still no surf.
Through the 18th and 19th, it’s dead. Sunday the 19th afternoon shows a tiny bump – 1.9 ft of SSW swell, 11-second period, energy of 134. The wind goes glassy, so the surface would be clean, but it’s barely a ripple. Surfable, but very ordinary.
More flatness follows. The standout is over a week away. The best day is Sunday, July 26th. The morning brings a clean 4.9 ft swell from the SSW, 14-second period, combined energy of 908 – that’s real energy. Wind is glass, dead calm. The afternoon holds at 4.6 ft, still glassy, still that long-period groundswell. For a sheltered beginner wave like Torquay Front Beach, that’s the one to wait for. Water temp is around 56.8°, about average for the season.
Before that, there’s a small tease on Tuesday the 21st with a 1.9 ft afternoon pulse and 14-second period, but nothing compared to that Sunday.
After the 27th, it drops off to nothing again. The call: a long flat period, then one killer, glassy Sunday on the 26th. Hang tight.
Short Range ForecastMostly dry. Very mild (max 14°C on Wed night, min 8°C on Tue night). Winds decreasing (fresh winds from the WSW on Tue afternoon, calm by Thu afternoon). | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryMostly dry. Very mild (max 15°C on Sun afternoon, min 10°C on Fri night). Wind will be generally light. | ||||||||||||||||||||

A general guide to surfing at Torquay Front Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Torquay Front Beach 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.
