Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on what’s coming for us at Torquay Point. Let’s get straight into it.

Right now, the waiting game is on. There’s no real swell to get excited about for the next few days, but don’t worry – the second half of the week is shaping up to be the real deal. The standout window is Thursday through to Friday, with a solid SW groundswell and winds playing ball. That’s where we’ll focus.

Sunday 12 July is a write-off. We’ve got a 4 ft SW swell at 12 seconds, but a stiff 22 mph WNW offshore wind is making it messy, and the combined energy (528) is pretty weak. Not worth paddling out for. The afternoon picks up to 6 ft, but that cross-off wind kills it. Same story on Monday 13 – the swell jumps to a beefy 8 ft, with a 16-second period and very strong energy (2653), but the fresh offshore wind is just too strong to make it clean for a point break. This is expert territory size-wise, but the wind has it looking ragged. Tuesday stays big but cross-off, so still no go.

Now, Wednesday 15 July afternoon is where things start to look interesting. The swell drops to a manageable 5 ft from the SW, period of 14 seconds, and the wind swings light WSW at just 3 mph, going cross-off. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there. The combined energy is moderate (975), but the conditions are forecast to be “very good.” This is a solid session if you can sneak out.

Thursday 16 July is the real standout. Morning starts with a 5 ft SW swell, a clean 14-second period, and a light 6 mph WNW offshore wind – that’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves at Torquay Point. The energy is moderate (857). Then the afternoon goes absolutely glassy. The wind drops to almost nothing from the WSW, 3 mph, and it’s glass. The swell pushes up to 5 ft, period hitting 15 seconds, and energy climbing to 1045. This is the best on offer. Clean, classic, offshore-to-glassy conditions on a point break with a nice, long-period SW groundswell. It doesn’t get much better for intermediate surfers. Keep in mind, the long period means it will have good shape here at the point, but you’ll want to be patient between sets.

Friday 17 July is nearly as good. A 5 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a whisper-light 3 mph offshore from the NW in the morning. The energy is solid at 1389. The afternoon turns glassy again, with a NE breeze and 5 ft swell. It’s excellent for experienced surfers – the crowd factor here is “often,” so expect company, but the quality will be worth it.

After that, the swell backs off considerably. Saturday 18 has smaller 3 ft waves and dropping energy (299), and by Sunday 19 it’s down to 1 ft with a super-long 20-second period – that’s a dud for a point break. The run of small, ordinary surf continues right through to Sunday 26 July, with a few 3 ft to 5 ft days, but the energy is low and winds are mostly cross-off or just average.

The only later spike comes on Monday 27 July, with a 6 ft SW swell but a short, choppy 8-second period and a strong 19 mph offshore wind. The energy is moderate (766), but the period is too short for decent shape. That’s more of a windy day for the kites than a paddler’s dream.

So the takeaway: Thursday 16 July is your golden window – glassy conditions, clean 5 ft SW groundswell, and the point handling it beautifully. Friday is a close second. The rest of the outlook is mostly small or windy, with that Thursday to Friday pocket being the true standout.

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.
