The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's take a look at what's shaking for the Torquay Point stretch over the next couple of weeks.

The pattern is a slow starter, but there's a solid pulse of long-period groundswell coming through mid-week, and if you're an experienced surfer, the backend of the week is the one. The water temp is sitting at 56°, which is pretty much average for this time of year.

We kick off on Monday the 10th, but it's a write-off with a fresh 19 mph cross-shore wind making a mess of things. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday the 11th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning session sees a clean 3 ft SW groundswell with a 15 second period and a moderate offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy is moderate (464). It's a good, clean option to get the week started.

Now, Wednesday the 12th is a big day, but you need to be careful. The morning brings a solid 10 ft SW groundswell, with a 16 second period. The combined energy is pumping at 6661 – that's a lot of power. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it won't be a mess, but at this size, it's expert territory only. The afternoon drops to a more manageable 5 ft, still with plenty of energy (1350).

Thursday the 13th is the standout. The morning is still a bit big at 7 ft, but the afternoon is the real magic window. You've got a 7 ft SW groundswell with a 16 second period, a gentle cross-offshore breeze, and the combined energy is strong at 2177. The call is for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is your best bet for the whole run.

Friday the 14th morning is also a solid option for the experienced crew, with an 8 ft SSW groundswell, 17 second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is very strong at 3708. It's a touch big, but the quality is there.

The weekend fades a bit. Saturday the 15th sees the swell drop and winds turn onshore, making it messy. Sunday the 16th morning looks glassy and clean with a 5 ft SW swell, but it's not the most powerful.

There's a good run of clean, smaller waves from Monday the 17th through to Tuesday the 18th, with waist-to-chest high sets and glassy conditions. It's not firing, but it's surfable and fun.

The following week is pretty quiet. From Wednesday the 19th to Saturday the 22nd, the swell drops right off. There's some small, clean options, but nothing to write home about. A gap of a few days with very ordinary conditions.

Things start to perk up again on Sunday the 23rd with a return of long-period SW groundswell, but the real highlight comes on Tuesday the 25th. The morning session has a 4 ft SW groundswell, 14 second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (903) and the call is for very good surf conditions. It's a promising option to finish the outlook, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Stay safe, and I'll see you out there.

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.
