The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll keep it straight—Torquay Point isn’t going off over the next 16 days, but there’s a couple of windows that are absolutely worth wetting a wetsuit for. It starts small and builds into a real groundswell charge mid-period, then tapers back down. Clean conditions pop up exactly when you want ‘em.
First real surf is Monday 21 July morning. Swell runs 2–3 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, light NW offshore wind blowing clean. Combined energy sits moderate (269). Torquay Point is a consistent spot, pretty exposed to the SW, where the best swell direction comes from. Crowds are common here—bring your patience.
That clean, small stuff rolls through Tuesday 22 July then fades fast. Come Thursday 23 July morning, the swell pumps up to 11–12 ft from the SW with a 14-second period. Combined energy is very strong (7034). That’s big—over 8 ft for sure. Cross-off wind and marginal conditions flagged. Experts only. The point may hold, but it’s more about survival than style.
Water temp is about normal for July here. No big anomaly.
The real standouts are later. Thursday 31 July morning is the one: 8 ft SSW groundswell at 12 seconds, light W wind at 10 mph, cross-off and clean. Combined energy is strong (2873). This is marked for experienced surfers, and with period over 11 seconds on a point, that SSW swell will wrap in proper. Light wind keeps it clean. Get on it.
Sunday 2 August afternoon brings a different vibe: 3 ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, combined energy moderate (653). The wind goes glassy—SSE at 5 mph. That’s dead calm. You won’t find cleaner. It’s small but those long-period lines will push through the point beautifully. Ideal for a longboard or fun mid-length.
In between, there’s a fair gap of days with weak or messy conditions. Not worth chasing.
Bottom line: Thursday 31 July morning for the solid groundswell, and Sunday 2 August afternoon for the glassy, small-wave perfection. Light winds on an exposed point—that’s the ticket.
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.
