The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for this stretch of coast. We’ve got a solid run of surf lined up, but you’ll have to be patient through the weekend for the real quality. The water is sitting at 57° right now, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.

The first few days pack a punch, but conditions are a bit messy. Thursday the 3rd sees a big 15 ft SW swell rolling in, with combined energy of 8520 (moderate energy), but it’s a cross-off wind at 16 mph and there’s rain showers. It’s surfable, but not the kind of day you’d write home about. Tide could be a factor, too.

By Friday morning the 4th, the swell has dropped to a more manageable 8 ft from the SW, but here’s the kicker – the wind goes light offshore from the NW at 9 mph. That’s going to clean things right up, and with a very long 16-second period, this is groundswell with proper shape. Combined energy is 2526 (moderate). For Torquay Point, this is the standout of the first week. The swell direction is spot-on for the break’s optimum, and the crowd is “often” here, so get in early.

Saturday the 5th, the wind howls out of the WNW at 25 mph. The swell is still a decent 5 ft, but that strong offshore breeze, while clean, is going to make paddling into anything a real fight. Not the pick.

Sunday the 6th is a nice little reset. Swell drops to 5 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off at 9 mph. Combined energy is 630 (weak). It’s clean, fun, and a good option for intermediates if you want a cruisy session.

The following week gets interesting again. Tuesday the 8th has a 5 ft SW swell with an 18-second period – that’s very long period groundswell. Wind is light cross-off from the W at 6 mph. The energy jumps to 2269 (moderate). This is a quality window for experienced surfers, as the long period will make for clean, powerful lines at the point.

But the real cream of the crop shows up on Thursday the 10th. The morning window is an absolute gift: 8 ft of SSW groundswell, 18-second period, combined energy of 3973 (moderate), and the wind? Dead calm – glassy as a mirror. That’s a hall pass for experienced surfers only, though. The size and power will be too much for beginners. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-on, but that morning glass-off is the session to chase.

After that, the second week sees smaller, cleaner waves settle in. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th both offer 5 ft SW swells with 15-16 second periods and light offshore or cross-off winds, making for good, fun conditions. By Sunday the 13th, it fades right down to under 3 ft with weak energy, and then we get another pulse around Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th. Tuesday the 15th is another standout for the second week: 5 ft from the SW, 18-second period, light WNW offshore at 6 mph, and combined energy of 2582 (moderate). Clean, powerful, and waiting for you.

We do have a bit of a gap from the 13th to the 14th where it goes flat for a day, but it fills back in nicely. The very end of the forecast window, around the 17th and 18th, gets blown out by strong onshore winds and chunky conditions – best left for another day.

So, to cut a long story short: Friday morning the 4th and Thursday morning the 10th are your best bets. The 4th is for the intermediate crowd wanting clean, long-period swell, and the 10th is for experts only on a glassy, powerful day. Get keen.

Stay salty,
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.
