The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the stretch ahead for the local lineup. The forecast is showing a bit of a mixed bag, with some solid pulses coming through, but you’ll need to pick your moments carefully.

The main feature is a strong SW groundswell that builds through the end of the week, with very long periods (16 seconds) bringing plenty of energy. Combined wave energy is looking healthy, hitting values like 1161 and 1220, which is moderate to strong. The standout early call is Wednesday the 4th of September. Thursday morning the 5th of September will see the swell push up to 6 ft from the SW with a period of 14 seconds, but the wind is a moderate 16 mph cross-off from the W. Not terrible, but not perfect. The real highlight is Thursday afternoon, the 5th of September. The swell jumps to a solid 15 ft from the SW, with a period of 14 seconds and combined energy roaring up to 9206. That’s serious power. The wind is still moderate W at 16 mph, cross-off, so it’s clean but rowdy. This is expert-only territory; anything over 8 ft is for the crew with the biggest balls and the best boards.

Friday the 6th of September offers a much better window. The swell drops to a more manageable 7 ft, still from the SW, but the period stretches back out to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind swings to NW at 12 mph, blowing offshore, which means the face will be smooth and clean. Combined energy is a strong 2356. This is the pick of the first week for experienced surfers. The point at Torquay Point will be handling this long-period swell beautifully, offering long, wrapping lines. Keep in mind the crowd factor here – it’s marked as often busy, so you’ll be sharing the peak.

Saturday the 7th of September gets blown out by a fresh 22 mph WNW cross-off wind, making it a write-off. Sunday the 8th of September settles down, with the swell easing to 5 ft from the SW, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-off in the morning. Then Sunday afternoon turns glassy with a NE breeze at only 3 mph, and the swell is still a clean 4 ft. That’s a fun, small-wave session for the log or a fish. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so a 3/2 steamer will be fine.

The following week has a few more windows. Monday the 9th of September is tiny and glassy in the morning, with 2 ft, but the afternoon gets onshore and messy. Tuesday the 10th of September has a beautiful window: light offshore winds (WNW at 3 mph) and a 4 ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period. Combined energy is 702. That’s a clean, lined-up morning for the point, but it’s inconsistent given the small size.

The middle of the second week, around the 13th and 14th of September, looks blown out with strong onshore winds and big, messy swell – not worth paddling out for. Then, on the 17th of September, things get interesting again. Wednesday morning the 18th of September has a clean 5 ft SW swell (15-second period) with light cross-off winds, and the afternoon turns glassy. That’s a solid afternoon session.

The final call is Thursday the 19th of September. Morning shows a 6 ft SW swell with a 17-second period, combined energy of 1784, and light WSW cross-off wind. The conditions are clean and the swell is proper. That’s a promising long-range standout, but as always, a week and a half out, keep an eye on the charts.

Overall, the best two sessions look like Friday morning the 6th of September for the bigger, offshore swell, and Sunday afternoon the 8th of September for a clean, glassy small-wave session. The long-period groundswells like the 18-second lines on the 10th of September will be awesome at the point, but expect lulls between sets.

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.
