The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk about the next 16 days in feet and miles per hour. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster. The wind is gonna be the boss of this show, and it’s not always gonna be nice. The water is around 57°F, which is pretty standard for this season. The swell direction is mostly out of the southwest, playing into the point nicely when the wind allows.
We kick off with a messy start on Wednesday the 9th. A solid 8-foot SSW swell, but a cross-on wind at 19 mph makes the morning rough. The afternoon jumps to a beastly 12-foot SW swell, but it’s still messy. Thursday is a little better but the 8-foot and 7-foot swells are still carrying chop.
Friday the 11th morning is where it gets good. A clean 6-foot SSW swell, glassy wind at just 3 mph. That’s your first real chance. It’s a long-period groundswell (15 seconds), so the point will offer some great lines for intermediate surfers.
Saturday the 12th morning is your standout early. Clean 6-foot SSW swell, light cross-off breeze at 6 mph from the NNE. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The point will be reeling. The combined energy is moderate, but the quality is high.
Sunday the 13th fades to a 4-foot swell, but it’s clean. Not much power.
From Monday the 14th through Tuesday the 15th, the wind is all wrong. We get a 7-foot swell on Tuesday, but it’s choppy.
Wednesday the 16th morning is a nice surprise—clean 6-foot SW swell, light cross-off, and it’s rated excellent for advanced surfers. That’s a solid session.
The second week is a real tale of two halves. Thursday the 17th is clean with 5-foot swell. Saturday the 19th morning is the clear second-week king: 6-foot SSW swell, glassy with a 3 mph breeze. That’s going to be a fantastic, clean day at the point.
Things go quiet and blown out from Sunday the 20th through Monday the 21st. But then Tuesday the 22nd morning comes back with a clean 5-foot SW swell and a 17-second period. Perfect for the point.
Wednesday the 23rd afternoon is a monster: 10-foot SW swell with an 18-second period, combined energy is massive. The wind is just a light onshore, but it’s still a big, powerful swell. That’s strictly for experts at the point.
So the real highlights are Saturday the 12th morning and Saturday the 19th morning—those are your cleanest, most quality windows for a proper surf at the point.

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.
