The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

The outlook kicks off with some solid, good-sized groundswell building mid-week, but the early part is a bit of a mixed bag with strong winds. The standout period is Wednesday afternoon, 29 July, which is looking like the pick of the lot. Then we’ve got a long stretch of pretty quiet, small conditions before another pulse of energy arrives around the second week. Stay patient.

We start with Torquay Point on Tuesday, 28 July, but it’s a bit of a write-off. A 4.6ft swell from the southwest with a 15-second period (groundswell) is there, but a fresh 22 mph northwest wind means it’s messy and only marginal. Water temp is 56.5°, which is bang on average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (837).

Wednesday, 29 July, is where it’s at. The morning brings a 9.8ft southwest swell with a 16-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell packing a punch (4888 combined energy). The wind is a fresh 19 mph westerly, cross-off, so it’s clean. But the afternoon is the real highlight: 11.5ft southwest swell, 15-second period, massive energy (9489), and a moderate 16 mph west-southwest cross-off. This is big, powerful, and clean. For experienced surfers only, this is the best session on offer. Crowds are likely here, so expect a few rubber-necks.

Thursday, 30 July, the swell starts to drop. Morning sees 5.2ft from the south-southwest at 13 seconds, with a moderate 12 mph west wind keeping it clean. Afternoon picks up a bit to 7.5ft from the southwest, same period and wind. Still decent, but not as punchy as Wednesday. Combined energy goes from 837 to 2337.

Friday, 31 July, is much smaller. Morning has 3.6ft southwest swell, 12-second period, and a light 6 mph west-northwest breeze – clean but weak (371 energy). The afternoon goes glassy with a 3.3ft south-southwest swell and a 3 mph easterly, which is beautiful for the wave face, but the size is tiny.

Saturday, 1 August, starts with a tiny 2.3ft, 17-second groundswell from the southwest. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 4.6ft, same long period, and a gentle 9 mph northwest offshore. The energy jumps to 2029, and conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a clean, long-period groundswell making for good shaped waves, but it’ll be a bit fat and straight on the beach – a point break like Torquay Point will handle it beautifully.

Sunday, 2 August, is a solid day too. Morning has 4.6ft, 16-second swell, with a moderate 12 mph north-northwest cross-off, energy at 1134. The afternoon is cleaner with a gentle 9 mph northwest offshore, 3.9ft, and 16-second period – very good conditions, but still only moderate energy (796).

Then we hit a flat spell. From Monday, 3 August, all the way through to Sunday, 9 August, the surf is poor or marginal at best. The winds turn onshore and cross-onshore, and the swell drops to under 3.6ft for most of that week. The combined energy stays below 700. It’s a real lull.

Monday, 10 August, signals a return of some serious energy. A 6.2ft, 21-second swell from the southwest (yes, 21 seconds – very long period) arrives with a fresh 22 mph north-northeast cross-off. The energy is strong at 3096. Tuesday, 11 August, keeps it going with 5.2ft, 16-second swell, moderate 12 mph north wind, energy 1299. Wednesday, 12 August, fades out with 3.9ft, 13-second swell and a fresh 19 mph north-northeast cross-off, but the energy is dropping (613).

The big standout for the trip is that Wednesday, 29 July afternoon session. The 11.5ft southwest groundswell with a 15-second period, long period, and clean cross-off wind is the best you’ll see. After that, Saturday, 1 August afternoon is a strong second – clean offshore, good energy, but a bit smaller.

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.
