The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at the local breaks.
Monday the 7th is a washout – onshore breezes and weak, messy energy (270) mean you’re just standing on the beach. Don’t bother. But Tuesday morning the 8th, that is the moment. The wind swings light cross-off from the west at just 6 mph, and we get a tiny but beautiful 0.9 ft southwest groundswell with a ridiculously long 18-second period. The combined wave energy is a huge 1107. The point will be clean as a whistle, a total glass-off. Grab a log and enjoy the glide.
The rest of the first week is more up and down. Wednesday the 9th morning jumps to 8 ft from the SSW with a 16-second interval, but a fresh 19 mph crosswind churns up the surface, making it lumpy and tough. Energy hits 4527, but you’re fighting the chop. Thursday the 10th morning cleans up a bit, 8 ft swell with a light cross-off breeze, but that’s only for the strong guys.
Next true standout is Saturday morning the 12th. Again, clean winds from the north-northeast at 6 mph, with a 5 ft southwest groundswell ticking over at 15 seconds. Energy is a punchy 1137, and the point will be lined up and fun. Perfect for a morning session without the crowd.
Moving into the second week, Tuesday the 15th looks interesting but heavy: clean conditions, 8 ft swell and strong energy of 2095 – that’s a big wave day. You need your A-game. Thursday the 17th brings offshore winds from the northwest, dropping the swell to 5 ft with 823 energy. That’s clean and pure, but the 15-second period means it’s a long groundswell that’ll wrap nicely around the point.
From the 18th onward, the wind stays strong offshore (19-22 mph) – clean faces but swells regularly around 7 or 8 ft, so expert territory. There’s a brief dip to 3 ft on the 19th afternoon, but the fresh wind might make it slightly bumpy. By the 21st, the wind swings onshore from the southeast, and it’s game over for quality.
So if you’re picking one session, make it Tuesday morning the 8th. That tiny, glassy, long-period magic is a rare gem. Saturday the 12th and Thursday the 17th are the next best bets. Anything bigger than 5 ft and you better be ready for a workout.
Stay sharp and stay safe out there.
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.
