The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks. The wait for a proper session might feel a bit long at first, but once it gets going, there are some absolute crackers in store.

The forecast kicks off with a bit of a slow burn. Friday the 28th of August is a write-off with weak, messy, cross-onshore slop, so don’t even bother. Saturday the 29th isn’t much better – a clean morning with a 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds and light cross-off wind sounds okay, but the energy is weak (466) and the afternoon turns to junk. Sunday the 30th morning is the first real glimmer: clean, light westerly, 5ft SSW at 13 seconds, energy building to 758 – it’s a good, solid point wave, but still not the standout.

Now, Monday the 31st of August is where we start talking. The morning is clean with a NW offshore wind, 5ft SW at 15 seconds, and energy ramping up to 1030. But the afternoon? Glassy conditions, zero wind, same 5ft SW swell but the energy hits 1159. That’s a long-period groundswell (15 seconds) with clean, glassy faces. Torquay Point loves a long-period SW groundswell and offshore or glassy conditions – this is the first true standout. It will be clean, lined up, and the paddle out will be manageable between sets. Crowds are ‘often’ here, so expect a few mates in the water, but for those waves, it’s worth the company.

Tuesday the 1st of September still has some size but the wind picks up to 16 mph from the NNW – it stays clean offshore, but the energy drops compared to Monday. Wednesday the 2nd morning is similar with a gentle offshore at 9 mph and 5ft SW at 15 seconds (922 energy) – clean but not quite the magic of Monday. Thursday the 3rd is moderate offshore all day with 5ft SW at 14 seconds (1030 and 938 energy) – solid, consistent, but the wind is moderate.

Then we hit the big one. Friday the 4th of September morning is not for the faint-hearted. 15ft SW at 14 seconds, energy at 9616 – that’s very strong. The wind is cross-off from the WNW at 12 mph so it’s clean, but that size is for experts only. Friday afternoon gets even bigger: 16ft SW at 15 seconds, energy hitting 13007. Torquay Point is a point break, so it will handle this long-period groundswell beautifully, but you need to know what you’re doing. That is the biggest pulse of the forecast. Saturday the 5th still has solid 6ft and 6ft SW (14 seconds) with offshore wind, but it’s a comedown.

Sunday the 6th of September turns ugly – a short-period, cross-onshore S wind swell (8-9 seconds) with energy at 2578 dropping to 1134 in the afternoon, and a choppy mess. Not worth it. Monday the 7th morning offers a little redemption: glassy, 5ft SSW at 11 seconds, energy 716 – clean but nothing special. From there the run fades out. The 8th and 9th are mostly cross-on junk, and the 9th afternoon is fresh cross-shore with lumpy chop.

Wait, there’s another highlight. Friday the 11th of September afternoon: 6ft SW at 18 seconds, moderate offshore NNW wind at 12 mph, energy at 2065 – that’s a very long-period groundswell (18 seconds) with clean offshore conditions. Torquay Point is a point break, so it will handle those long lines perfectly. This is the second standout of the forecast, but it’s 14 days out, so keep an eye on it – forecasts are promising but less certain at that range. Saturday the 12th morning also looks clean with 5ft SW at 16 seconds (1353 energy) and light offshore.

Water temps are around 56°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing wild.

All in all, Monday the 31st of August afternoon is the top pick – glassy, 5ft SW, groundswell, clean. If you’re a strong surfer, Friday the 4th of September is the big-boy session of the entire run. The second weekend (11th-12th September) also has quality, but it’s a long way off.

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.
