The Lowdown
Torquay Point (Torquay-Point-and-Beach) is where we’re looking. The first real chance for a wave is Thursday morning. The swell has dropped to 1.6m from the SSW with a 14-second period, but it’s still a bit crossed up. It’s surfable, but you’ll be hunting for the clean ones. The wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze, so it’s not going to be glassy, but it’s a start. The afternoon stays on the marginal side, light onshore, and the energy is dropping off (838).
Friday is where things start to get interesting. The morning sees a moderate offshore breeze from the WNW, cleaning up that 1.4m SSW swell (1227 energy). It’s going to be much better defined. But the standout is Friday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 1.5m, the period stretches to a very long 16 seconds, and the wind stays offshore. This is the classic combo for Torquay Point. It holds the longer-period groundswell nicely, offering up proper shaped lines. The energy jumps to 1816, and this is the call for the experienced crew. Conditions are clean and lined up.
Saturday sees the swell ease to 1.5m and the wind swings cross-offshore. It’s still clean, but the magic from Friday has gone. Sunday is a write-off with a fresh breeze and the swell having dropped right off. We then go into a flat spell from Sunday afternoon through Wednesday the 24th. There’s barely a ripple, with just tiny leftover energy. It’s a proper lull.
The next real hope comes around Saturday the 26th. A long-period (19s) swell from the SW fills in, bringing 1.1m to 1.3m of clean, cross-off surf. It’s not huge, but the energy is solid (1648-2046) and it will be a nice, easy paddle. Don't expect a lot of power, but it will be fun. That glimmer fades by Sunday the 27th as a strong breeze ruins it.
Looking further out, we’ve got another promising window on Thursday the 1st of October. The wind is light and offshore, and we see a 1.2m to 1.4m SSW swell with a 16-second period. It’s showing as very clean and good, with energy around 1083. It’s a week and a half away, so don't book your flights, but it’s looking like the best alternative to Friday’s offering.
So, if you want the pick of the fortnight, you’re looking at Friday afternoon. There’s a decent backup around Thursday the 1st, but it’s a long way off. The rest is flat or junk.

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.
