The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about the surf.
We’re starting off flat, with nothing worth paddling out for on Sunday, August 9th – the wind is howling and the swell is tiny. But hold on, because the good stuff is coming.
The real highlight is Monday, August 10th, at Torquay Point. We’ve got a beautiful 2ft SW groundswell rolling in with a super long period of 19 seconds, and the wind is blowing light offshore out of the NNW. That’s a recipe for perfection. The combined wave energy is strong at 1026, so there’s plenty of punch. This is the session to circle on the calendar. Tuesday morning, August 11th, is still fun with a clean 2ft SW swell and offshore NW wind, but it’s not as powerful.
By Wednesday afternoon, August 12th, the swell pumps up to 6ft from the WSW and the energy reading hits 6369 – that’s a lot of water moving. The wind is cross-off, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s a solid, heavy swell for experts only. Too big for beginners. Thursday and Friday keep the size around 3ft. Friday morning, August 14th, is the best of the bigger waves: a clean 4ft SW swell with a gentle offshore breeze, making for excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
After that, the swell drops off through the second week. The weekend of the 16th and 17th looks messy, with onshore wind and small, choppy waves. There’s a quiet stretch of a few days. Then, on Monday morning, August 24th, we get a final clean little pulse: 2ft SW swell with a light offshore breeze from the NNW and an energy reading of 520. It’s a nice, clean finish, but it doesn’t compare to that first Monday stand-out.
Water temp at Torquay is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy.
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.
