The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows worth circling on the calendar. The first real standout that’s got me talking is Saturday morning, 22 August. Torquay Point is a consistent point break, pretty exposed to the SW, and that’s exactly where the swell is coming from: 8ft of SW groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds. The wind is a cross-off at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. The combined swell energy is strong (4119), so there’s plenty of push. It’s a solid intermediate option, but with that size, beginners might want to sit this one out. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Come Saturday afternoon, the swell jumps to 13ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and energy is pumping (8738). But the wind swings to a cross-shore, and the conditions are described as marginal with a moderate cross-chop. That’s a lot of raw power, but it’s going to be a battle. Experienced crew only.
Sunday morning, 23 August is a different story. The swell drops to 5ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and the wind goes light offshore from the NW at 6 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the energy is moderate (1218). The forecast says “very good surf conditions,” but the score is low. It’s a sneaky good session if you’re not chasing size.
Sunday afternoon gets a bit more interesting: 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off. Energy is moderate (1735). That long period makes it a groundswell, and this point break will handle it beautifully. It’s clean and excellent for experienced surfers.
Now, we hit a quiet patch. Monday 24 August through Thursday 27 August sees small, weak swells with onshore or cross-on winds, mostly poor conditions. There’s a brief moment on Thursday afternoon when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 3ft from the SW, so it’s tiny.
Friday morning, 28 August is a bright spot. A 4ft SW swell, period 17 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind from the WNW. That’s clean, and the energy is moderate (1062). It’s a very long-period groundswell, so it’ll be lined up, but at a point break, it’s a treat. The forecast says “very good surf conditions.”
After that, the surf fades again. Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August are mostly poor, with an 8ft SSW swell on Sunday afternoon that’s cross-onshore and choppy. Too much wind for good paddle surfing – that’s more of a kite day.
Monday morning, 31 August is a standout for the second week. Glassy calm, 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the energy is strong (1356). It’s excellent for experienced surfers, and the point will hold that long-period swell nicely. Promising, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Tuesday 1 September morning sees a 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, with a cross-off wind. Clean, but the energy is moderate (1795). The afternoon gets messy with strong onshore winds.
The rest of the first week of September is a mix of small, clean glassy mornings on Thursday 3 September and Friday 4 September morning, which has a 7ft SSW swell with clean cross-off winds. That Friday morning is a solid call for the end of the outlook.
My pick of the whole period? Saturday morning, 22 August for the size and clean conditions, and Monday morning, 31 August for the glassy, long-period groundswell. Keep the longboard handy for the small days, and the step-up for the big ones.
Stay stoked.

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.
