The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Torquay Point.
Right off the bat, the next few days are a bit of a write-off for anything decent. We’ve got a stretch from Monday the 3rd through to Sunday the 9th where the surf is pretty marginal. There’s small swell around, but the wind is mostly cross-off or cross-shore and the quality just isn’t there for a proper session. You’ll be better off waiting.
The real story starts to build from Monday the 10th of August. That morning we see a solid 10ft SW swell start to push in, with moderate wave energy (4076). It gets seriously spicy by the afternoon though – a massive 20ft WSW groundswell rolls in with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is enormous (24254), and while the wind goes gentle offshore, this is way too big for the Point. Only absolute experts should even think about it, and honestly, it’s more of a spectacle than a paddle session.
Tuesday the 11th of August morning is the standout. The swell drops back to a still-chunky 8ft from the SW with a 16-second period and moderate offshore wind. The wave energy is still strong at 3260. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. Torquay Point will be handling that long-period groundswell beautifully, offering up some proper waves. Crowds are likely to be an issue here, so get in early.
After that, the surf stays on the menu but gets less consistent. Wednesday the 12th has a smaller 4ft SW swell but with a fresh offshore wind – it’ll be clean but nothing special. Thursday the 13th sees another big spike, with an 18ft WSW swell and 15-second period, but it’s cross-shore wind and the energy is through the roof (14790). Again, too big for most. Friday the 14th morning offers a 10ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, clean with a light offshore – excellent for experienced crew, but that period is so long it might be better for a reef or point, which Torquay is. Saturday the 15th morning has a cleaner 6ft SSW swell. Things taper off from Sunday the 16th into the 18th with smaller, cleaner conditions, but nothing that’ll blow your hair back.
If you’re looking for the best window, lock in Tuesday the 11th of August morning. That’s the one.

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.
