The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the track for Torquay Point. This is a solid point break setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so we’ve got plenty to talk about straight up.
The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The opening salvos are small but clean. Saturday morning the 18th sees a 3ft SW swell, with a long 14 second period, and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate (382), but it’s clean, and a point break is the perfect spot for that long-period groundswell. It’s not going to be a standout, but it’s a nice, easy paddle.
We then drift into a very quiet spell. From Saturday afternoon through to Wednesday morning the 22nd, the swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft with weak to moderate energy (145 to 281). Winds are mostly offshore, so it’s clean, but the waves are tiny. For a surfer, it’s a bit of a flat patch. Wednesday afternoon gets a bit of rain and cross-off wind, so skip that.
Then Thursday the 23rd, things wake up. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, with a solid 14 second period, and the combined energy is strong at 1447. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the conditions are described as marginal. At 6ft, it’s getting a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s on. The energy is building.
Now, the standout of this whole run – and I mean the real gem – is Friday the 24th. Torquay Point is absolutely firing. The swell is 6ft from the SW, with a very long 15 second period, and the combined energy is ripping at 2388. And the wind? Solid offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. That’s a dream scenario for a point break. The long period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, and the offshore breeze will hold it up. It’s an excellent call for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle.
Saturday the 25th holds up well, too. 5ft SW swell, 13 second period, moderate energy (700), and still offshore from the NW. Very good surf. Sunday the 26th drops off a bit, and the wind gets fresh on the afternoon, so pick your window.
We get another big pulse on Monday the 27th. The afternoon sees an 8ft SSW swell with 12 second period and massive energy (3042). That’s expert territory, and the wind is strong offshore. It’s a big, powerful, clean point wave. Tuesday the 28th is also strong, with a 7ft SSW swell and a very long 16 second period, but there’s a cross-off wind making it a bit more critical. For experts only.
The 31st of July is a nice glassy finish to the month. Friday morning brings a 8ft SSW swell, 10 second period, with a light offshore breeze, and the afternoon goes glassy. That’s clean, powerful surf, but the shorter period means it’ll be a bit more walled up on the point.
The first week of August looks messy. The 1st and 2nd are blown out with strong onshore winds, so don’t bother. The 30th of July, with an 12ft SSW swell, has heavy cross-shore wind and chop, so that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, for the best of the best: Friday the 24th of July is the clear winner. Clean, offshore, long-period SW groundswell at a point break. That’s as good as it gets. Monday the 27th afternoon is a close second for the big-wave hunters.
Rusty out.

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.
Torquay Point is 21 km (13 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
