Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off with a bit of a slow burn, but there’s some real promise on the horizon. The first few days are small but clean, and then things get properly chunky from the middle of next week. The standout window is definitely the second weekend, with a glassy session that’s got my attention.

The Pattern:
Thursday morning kicks things off with a nice 3ft SW groundswell rolling in at a long 16 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at a solid 471 (moderate) and with a light northerly cross-off breeze, it’s going to be clean. The water temp is 14°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Thursday afternoon the wind swings and the waves get a bit messy, so the morning is the pick. Friday (10th July) is more of the same – clean morning with 3ft SW swell (15 seconds) and light winds, but the energy drops a bit (421). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Saturday (11th July) and Sunday (12th July) are a write-off. Saturday has strong winds that kill the small swell, and Sunday gets a bit bigger but the wind is howling. The combined energy on Sunday afternoon spikes to 5980 (strong) as the swell jumps to 12ft, but with a 25 km/h cross-off, it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. That’s expert territory if you’re keen on a survival mission, but for most of us, it’s a day to stay on the beach.

The Mid-Week Pulse:
Monday (13th July) through Tuesday (14th July) sees a solid SW groundswell hanging around, hovering between 6ft and 8ft with periods of 15-16 seconds. The energy is strong (up to 2808), but the wind is a fresh offshore or cross-off, which means it’s going to be clean but big. This is not for beginners – anything over 5ft is pushing it, and 8ft is well into the intermediate-to-expert realm. The quality is there, but it’s a serious paddle.

The Standout (The Best on Offer):
Now, here’s the one that’s got me amped. Friday morning, 17th July. The wind is glassy, absolutely zero wind, and we’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is 717 (moderate). That’s a clean, long-period groundswell with perfect conditions. This is the kind of session you dream about. The swell is big enough to have some push, but not so big it’s out of control. Torquay Point is a point break, and with that long period, it’s going to be setting up nicely. The 16-second period is a true groundswell, so expect good shape and long, clean lines. The offshore wind is from the NNE, which is a good direction for the point. This is the pick of the whole forecast.

The Rest of the Week:
Saturday (18th July) morning is also a solid option – 5ft SW swell, 15 seconds, with a clean NNW offshore. The energy is 856 (moderate). It’s not as perfect as the Friday, but it’s still a very good day. After that, the swell starts to fade quickly. Sunday (19th July) is small again, with 2ft to 2ft. The energy drops way down (287). It’s clean but tiny.

The Second Week (20th–24th July):
The long-range stuff is less certain, but we can see a pattern. Monday (20th July) and Tuesday (21st July) see a new SSW swell push through, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of it, making it messy. The energy on Tuesday morning is 1089 (moderate), but with a southeasterly onshore, it’s not going to be pretty. Wednesday (22nd July) through Friday (24th July) is a bust – strong cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. The only small window is Friday (24th July) morning with a 3ft SSW swell and a clean offshore wind, but it’s very ordinary.

So, to wrap it up: the best surf is on Friday morning, 17th July, and Saturday morning, 18th July. The rest of the period is either too small, too windy, or too big and messy. Make the most of that glassy Friday.

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.
