The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the Torquay Point stretch for the next couple of weeks. We've got a solid run of swell on the cards, but we need to pick our moments for the cleanest conditions.

The pattern for the next 16 days at Torquay Point is all about waiting for the northwest wind to blow. That offshore breeze is the key to unlocking some excellent waves here. The first couple of days look promising, then there's a bit of a lull before a much bigger pulse of SW groundswell arrives at the end of the month and into September. Get ready for a mix of fun, clean waves and some serious, powerful surf.

Starting this Sunday, 23 August, we’re straight into the action. The early morning is looking prime with a clear sky, a light 6 mph NW offshore wind, and a 5 ft swell from the southwest. The wave energy is strong (1218), and the water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. This is a proper pick for the weekend. Sunday afternoon stays clean with the same NW wind, and the swell bumps up slightly to 5 ft with a very long 16-second period. This is what we live for at a point break like this – those long-period SW groundswells wrapping in with meaning. The energy jumps to a very strong 1735. This is for the experienced crew; it’s not a day for learners, but the rest of you will be grinning.

The standout of the whole outlook, though, has to be Sunday, 30 August. Mark the date. While there's some fun surf on Monday the 31st and into early September, the real gold is on the 30th. Early morning sees a clear sky, a light 6 mph NW offshore, and a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell. The period is a pumping 18 seconds. This is serious, powerful groundswell. The combined energy is an enormous 4617 – very, very strong. This is an expert-only session. The sets will be long and full of power, and with that glassy offshore wind, Torquay Point is going to be a world-class arena.

Monday the 31st August is another strong day. A 12 mph NW offshore wind will groom a 6 ft SSW groundswell (period 15 seconds) in the morning. Wave energy is still very strong (1288). The afternoon gets gustier with a 16 mph NW offshore, but the surf holds at 5 ft.

There’s a gap from late August into early September where the size drops and the winds get messy. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are smaller, and the weekend of the 29th has strong, gusty cross-offshore winds that won't do the 8 ft swell any favours. The real quality returns on the 3rd and 4th of September. Thursday afternoon the 3rd offers a clean 7 ft SW swell with a 12 mph WNW offshore – another expert window, though the wind is moderate. Friday the 4th is also clean, with moderate to gentle WNW offshore winds holding a 6 ft to 6 ft SW groundswell. A solid end to the run.

The last few days of the forecast, from the 5th of September onward, are more for the onshore crew, with wind shifts and dropping energy. A note on Sunday afternoon the 6th: a bit of glassy, light NE wind and a small, clean 4 ft SW swell. Worth checking for a longboard grovel session.

All in all, Torquay Point is on. The 30th of August is the absolute standout day for experts. Get in the water and get the wave of the month.

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.
