The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf coming up at Torquay Point, but you’ll need to be patient through the weekend. Water temp is about 56°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Sunday (August 9) is a total dud. A tiny 2ft SW swell with a short 14-second period and a fresh NNE wind blowing cross-off makes it messy. Combined wave energy is weak (205). Stay home.
Monday (August 10) morning is where it’s at. A 4ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period rolls in, and the wind is offshore from the NW at 12 mph. Clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 1026. This is the standout of the whole forecast – get out there early before the wind swings SW in the arvo and messes it up.
Tuesday (August 11) keeps it going. Morning has a 3ft SW swell with 15-second period and NW offshore wind at 12 mph. Clean and fun (energy 417). Afternoon builds to 4ft with similar wind, rating solid (energy 618). Both sessions are worth it.
Wednesday (August 12) and Thursday (August 13) see the swell bumping to 5–6ft, with strong combined energy into the 1400s. The wind stays cross-off from the W or WNW, keeping things clean. Thursday arvo is the pick for experienced surfers – 6ft SW, 15-second period, and gentle offshore wind. Proper size, but watch the tide.
Friday (August 14) morning still holds 6ft SW with clean cross-off wind (energy 1589), but the arvo gets cross-shore chop and drops quality. Saturday (August 15) is messy with onshore wind and a drop in size. Sunday (August 16) is poor with cross-on wind and a smaller 4ft swell.
There’s a gap until Monday (August 17) morning, which delivers a glassy 3ft SW swell with no wind – magic little windows. Energy is light at 348, but for a point break, that’s perfect for a longboard. Tuesday (August 18) arvo turns glassy again with 2ft, 18-second groundswell – very clean but small.
Wednesday (August 19) morning keeps the clean 3ft SW swell going with light cross-off wind. The real standout for the second week is Sunday August 23 morning: glassy conditions, 4ft SW swell with a 17-second period, and combined energy of 973. That’s going to be gorgeous, clean lines, and not too big. Get on it.
Monday (August 24) morning is another good one: 4ft SW, 15-second period, light cross-off wind, and energy around 809. Clean and fun.
Overall, the best wave of the whole outlook is Monday August 10 morning – that 4ft, 19-second groundswell with offshore wind is a rare treat. Crowds are often an issue at Torquay Point, so plan accordingly. For the second week, Sunday August 23 morning is your best bet. Rest of the time, it’s hit and miss with small, clean conditions on offer. Keep an eye on the tide for the bigger days later in the first week.
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.
