Torquay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what’s on the cards for the Torquay region over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, Thursday the 6th is a bit of a nothing burger. We’ve got a small, clean 2ft SW groundswell at Torquay Point, with a long 16-second period, but the energy is weak (218). It’s surfable, but honestly, very ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 56°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there with your wettie.

Now, Friday the 7th is where we get our first real taste of something good. That persistent SW groundswell builds to a fun 4ft, still with that lovely 16-second period, and the wave energy jumps right up (577). The real kicker though is the wind. We’re talking glassy conditions first thing in the morning, switching to a light offshore in the arvo. This is the standout of the early window. Clean, consistent waves at Torquay Point that’ll be lining up nicely. Crowds are often a thing here, so get in early for the pick of the sets.

We hit a bit of a lull from Saturday the 8th through Sunday the 9th. The swell drops off and gets a bit scratchy with gusty cross-offshore winds, so don’t expect much. That lull lasts until we see the next pulse.

Hold onto your board, because things get serious on Monday the 10th. A big SW groundswell pushes in, with the morning seeing a massive 10ft at a very long 19-second period. That’s a lot of energy (5797) and it’s only for strong, experienced surfers. By the afternoon, it eases slightly to 4ft but the winds turn moderate offshore, making for excellent conditions for the crew that can handle it. This is the second big standout.

The swell stays solid through Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th, with waves around 5ft to 7ft and plenty of energy, but the winds get fresh and a bit messy. Still good, but not as pristine as the Monday arvo.

Then Thursday the 13th hits, and it’s a proper beast. We’re talking a 15ft SW swell (12730 energy) with a 18-second period. This is all-time big, but the wind is cross-offshore, so it’s raw and powerful. Only for the absolute experts. It hangs around on Friday the 14th as it drops back to a more manageable 6ft.

The second week, from Saturday the 15th onwards, is a mixed bag. The swell pulses up and down, mostly in the 3ft to 5ft range, with lighter winds. It’s not going to blow your mind, but there are clean, surfable options on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th with gentle offshore winds. The biggest event in the far window is Thursday the 20th, where a new long-period 20-second swell builds to 6ft by the afternoon, packing some serious energy (4363), but the wind is looking iffy. A promising long-range call, but less certain.

All in all, the cream of the crop is Friday the 7th for clean, fun waves, and Monday the 10th afternoon for the bigger, more powerful stuff when it's clean.

Rusty.
