The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off this Thursday, the 16th, and it’s looking like a classic winter groundswell for the experienced crew. The real standout is Torquay Point with a solid 6ft of SSW swell, a long 15-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. The water is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is pumping at a strong 1692, so there’s plenty of power in the water. This is a point break that handles long-period groundswell beautifully, with those long gaps between sets making the paddle out easier. The wind is light and offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean. Thursday afternoon sees a slight drop in size and a cross-on breeze, so morning is definitely the call.

Friday the 17th is another cracker. Morning glass-off conditions with a 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, and clean offshore NW wind at 10 km/h. The energy is still strong at 1366. Friday afternoon goes even better, with a glassy 5ft SW swell and that same 16-second period – it’ll be perfection for the intermediate-to-expert surfer.

Saturday the 18th drops off significantly, with the swell fading to 3ft Saturday morning and 3ft in the afternoon. The energy drops to 387 and 250 respectively. It’s still clean, but the magic is gone. From Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 22nd, the surf is very ordinary – tiny, weak waves with energy readings barely above 100. It’s a proper flat spell, so don’t bother.

We get a bit of a pulse back on Friday the 24th. The morning sees a fresh 30 km/h offshore wind and a 5ft SW swell, but the energy jumps to 1020. The afternoon is bigger, with a 8ft SW swell and a massive 3437 energy reading, but the wind swings to a cross-off and the conditions are described as marginal. This is more for the experts, as it’s pushing over 8ft and could be a handful.

The weekend of the 25th and 26th is messy. Cross-shore winds and chop will ruin the quality. The 27th (Monday) offers a glimmer: a clean 5ft SSW swell with a 15 km/h offshore wind and energy at 836 – it’s worth a look if you’re keen. The rest of the week into the 31st is mostly small, with clean conditions but very little punch. The 31st morning has a tiny 3ft SW swell but with a very long 17-second period and clean wind, which could offer a few fun runners at the point if you’re patient.

Overall, the best bet is Thursday morning the 16th through Friday afternoon the 17th. After that, it’s a waiting game until the 27th for the next decent session.

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.
