The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking over the next few weeks.
It’s a slow start. This weekend’s a write-off – weak swell, cross-off winds, not worth your time. But there’s some proper stuff coming.
The first real day to get keen on is Monday the 10th of August at Torquay Point. That morning we’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell with a long 19-second period and a light offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (1026). That’s going to give you clean, well-shaped waves with plenty of grunt. The long period means fewer waves but more quality. This is the best bet for the early part of the run.
Tuesday the 11th stays clean in the morning but the swell drops to 3ft. Still fun with the offshore wind.
Then the size jumps. Wednesday and Thursday the 12th and 13th see the swell push up to 7ft from the SW with a 16-second period and strong energy (3803). That's expert territory – powerful, demanding waves. By Thursday afternoon the wind eases to 15 km/h, making it a bit more manageable for the experienced crew.
Saturday the 15th of August is a dead-set classic. Saturday morning is glassy – zero wind and a clean 6ft SW swell. The energy is strong (1351). The waves will be clean, powerful, and lined up. For experienced surfers, this is the session to target.
After that, the swell backs off. Sunday the 16th gets a little messy, and by Tuesday the 18th we’re back to 2–3ft glassy waves on the longboard. The end of the run sees a small bump with offshore winds around Friday the 21st, with clean 3ft waves.
Bottom line: skip this weekend. The two to circle are Monday morning the 10th for the long-period beauty, and Saturday morning the 15th for the clean, powerful swell.

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.
