The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real gold in the back half.

Water temp is sitting at 56°, pretty much average for this time of year. No dramas there.

We’ve got a quiet beginning. Thursday the 27th kicks off with small, ordinary surf – a 3ft SSW swell (moderate energy, 202) with a light offshore breeze on Thursday morning, so it’s clean but nothing to write home about. Thursday afternoon stays small. Friday the 28th is a dud, with rain showers and messy cross-onshore wind ruining a 4ft SW swell. Some energy (911), but the conditions are not worth it.

Saturday morning the 29th is a bit better – a clean 4ft SW swell (moderate energy, 466) with a light offshore breeze, giving you some fun, clean waves. Not huge, but it’s a start. The first real standout is Sunday the 30th morning. The swell picks up to 5ft from the SSW (moderate energy, 745), the wind is light and cross-offshore, and it’s clean. That’s a solid session.

Then we hit the highlight of the first week. Monday the 31st morning is clean with a 5ft SSW swell (strong energy, 1134), but the Monday afternoon is the absolute winner. Glassy conditions, a 5ft SW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds, pumping a strong 1537 of energy. This is excellent surf – clean, powerful, and well-shaped. For a point break, that’s as good as it gets. The long period might make it a bit too lined up for some spots, but here it’s perfect.

There’s a bit of a gap after that. Tuesday the 1st of September is blown out by strong northerly winds, and conditions drop off until later in the week. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd see moderate offshore winds and a 5 to 6ft SW swell (strong energy, 1076 to 1522), which is clean and surfable, but the wind is a bit lively.

Now the second week fires up big time. From Thursday the 10th of September through to Friday the 11th, we’ve got a solid run of excellent surf. Thursday morning the 10th delivers a 7ft SW groundswell (strong energy, 2146) with a moderate offshore breeze – excellent for experienced surfers. The real standout is Friday the 11th morning, with a 7ft SW groundswell (very strong energy, 2568) and a moderate offshore breeze. This is a big, powerful, clean swell that will have the point absolutely pumping. It’s a classic day for the experts. The afternoon of the 11th holds up just as well.

Just be aware that the swells in the second week get big – over 7ft, and up to 12ft on the 8th and 9th – so that’s only for the skilled crew. The 9th of September afternoon is another fantastic window: 8ft SW groundswell (very strong energy, 3019) with a clean offshore wind. The 10th and 11th are the absolute best of the bunch.

So the call is simple: first week, lock in Sunday the 30th morning and Monday the 31st afternoon. Second week, don’t miss Thursday the 10th morning and Friday the 11th morning. It’s going to be a cracker, just keep an eye on the size and remember the long-range stuff is promising but not fully locked in yet.

Rusty.

Information about the Torquay Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Torquay Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Torquay Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Torquay Point 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 (Torquay Point) 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 Torquay Point 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.
