The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here, checking in on the surf for Torquay Point. This point break is a gem when the SW groundswell hits, and we’ve got a mixed bag coming up. Water temp is 56.5°F, pretty much average for this time of year.

The first real surf shows up on Friday afternoon, July 31, with a 3.3ft SSW swell at 12 seconds and a light cross-on breeze. The combined energy is moderate (409) but it’s marginal, so not a standout.

Saturday morning, August 1, is where it gets good. Light north wind, cross-off, and a building 4.6ft SW swell with a killer 17-second period. The energy jumps to 1724 (strong) by afternoon, and the conditions are clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers – 4.6ft with that long period will give you lined-up, powerful waves. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Sunday morning, August 2, has similar 4.6ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but the wind picks up to 12 mph from the north. The energy drops to 986 (moderate) and the conditions are marginal for tide. Sunday afternoon has a 3.9ft swell with a 16 mph wind.

Monday, August 3, has a 19 mph WNW wind and a 3.6ft SW swell. It’s clean but the energy is moderate (817) and the wind is fresh. Monday afternoon is poor with light rain.

Tuesday, August 4, is a big one – a 9.8ft SW swell with a 12-second period. The energy is 2670 (very strong), but it’s a cross-off wind at 12 mph. This is over 8ft, so expert-only. The afternoon goes cross-shore and choppy. A big-wave day for the fearless.

Wednesday, August 5, drops to 1.6ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period. The energy is weak (272). Morning is clean with a light wind, but you’ll be scratching for tiny waves. Afternoon turns bumpy.

Thursday, August 6, morning has a 1.6ft SW swell at 16 seconds, clean with a light offshore. The afternoon is the quiet gem: glassy conditions with a 2.3ft SW swell and 16-second period. The energy is weak (267) but the point will be clean and peelable.

Friday, August 7, has consistent 2.6ft SW swell with a 15- to 18-second period, clean cross-off winds, and moderate energy (626). A solid, cruisy day.

The weekend of August 8-9 is a washout – strong north winds of 19-22 mph, poor surf, and small swell. Don’t bother.

Monday, August 10, morning brings a 4.3ft SW swell with a 14-second period and a fresh offshore NW wind. The energy is strong (1205) and it’s clean. Monday afternoon has a 25 mph WNW wind and a 3.6ft swell with a 19-second period – strong energy (1480) but the wind is strong.

Tuesday, August 11, is a standout in the second week. Morning has a 5.9ft SW swell with a 16-second period, cross-off wind at 16 mph, and strong energy (1728). The afternoon holds 5.2ft with similar conditions. A solid, powerful swell for experienced surfers.

Wednesday, August 12, has a 4.6ft SW swell and a 14-second period, clean with moderate energy (857). A good, solid session.

Thursday, August 13, drops to 2.9-3.6ft SW swell with moderate wind. Not a standout.

Friday, August 14, afternoon is another highlight: a 5.2ft SW swell with a 15-second period, gentle offshore wind from the NW, and energy of 1038 (strong). Very good conditions, clean and lined up.

Saturday, August 15, is the final standout. Morning has a 3.6ft SW swell with a 17-second period, light offshore wind, and energy of 1404 (strong). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Afternoon holds a 5.2ft SW swell with a 16-second period, a light offshore from the NNW, and clean faces. A beautiful way to finish.

The best on offer is Saturday August 1 afternoon with that 4.6ft groundswell, 17-second period, and light cross-off wind –

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.
