G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a proper look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks. We’re starting off a bit quiet, but there’s a serious pulse building for the middle of the month that’s got my heart racing. Let’s get into it.
Torquay Point is the only break on the cards here, and it’s a consistent point break that handles a SW swell like a dream. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 7th is flat with a tiny 4ft SW swell but the wind’s onshore, so it’s a write-off. Wednesday the 8th sees a jump in energy – the combined swell energy is up to 1294 (moderate) – but a cross-shore wind and questionable tide make it a scratch session. Thursday morning the 9th though, that’s the first real window. Glassy conditions, a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a period of 16 seconds, and the energy reads 476 (weak). It’s small but clean, a good sneaky one. Friday the 10th keeps the same vibe – 3ft to 3ft, clean offshore and cross-off winds, energy around 313-421. Sweet little runners for a longboard or a fish.
Now, Saturday the 11th is a write-off – fresh breeze and poor surf – but Sunday morning the 12th has offshore wind and 4ft at 14 seconds, energy 665, but it’s still marginal. The real story starts Monday the 13th. We get a big jump: 8ft SSW swell, period 16 seconds, and the combined energy is a whopping 3832 (strong). That’s expert territory – over 8ft and it’s only for the experienced crew. The wind is offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be clean, but those long-period lines will be bombing through. Tuesday the 14th is the standout, no question. Morning session: 8ft SSW, 16 seconds, energy 4157 (very strong), and a gentle cross-off wind. It’s an excellent call for experienced surfers. The afternoon eases to 8ft but still clean. If you’re an advanced surfer, this is your day.
Wednesday the 15th keeps the fire burning with 6ft to 8ft swells, the afternoon hitting a massive 5423 energy reading (very strong). Clean and consistent. Thursday the 16th backs off a touch – 6ft morning, 5ft afternoon – but still clean with excellent conditions. Friday the 17th is another gem: 5ft SW at a very long 19-second period, energy 2577 (strong), with offshore wind. This point break will love that long-period groundswell – it’ll wrap in with proper shape.
After that, the energy drops. Saturday the 18th through to the 22nd sees smaller swell, 3ft to 5ft, but the winds get stronger and more cross-off, making it messy. The 20th and 21st have strong breezes and poor conditions – not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate. Wednesday the 22nd afternoon shows a spike: 5ft SSW at 20 seconds, energy 3213 (strong), but the wind is cross-off and it’s still marginal – a tease to end the run.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday the 14th at Torquay Point. Big, powerful SSW swell, excellent conditions for experienced surfers, and it’s clean. Monday the 13th and Wednesday the 15th are also standouts for the crew who can handle overhead waves. For the average surfer, aim for the small clean windows on the 9th, 10th, and maybe the 16th.
This is Rusty, signing off. Stay safe out there.

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.
Torquay Point is 21 km (13 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
