The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up for our stretch of coast. We've got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the cards, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story. There are a few proper windows of clean surf, but we've got to pick our moments.
The big ticket item is Torquay Point for the next few days. We're looking at a very long period (16 seconds) groundswell from the SW that's pushing through a massive amount of energy. It's a bit of a beast at 7ft, so this is one for the experienced crew. The water's sitting at 56°, which is pretty much spot on average for the time of year. Thursday morning is a bit raw with a cross-off wind, but it's clean. The real magic happens on Saturday morning the 15th. The swell has eased a touch to a still-chunky 6ft, but the wind goes totally glassy from the SSE. That's the standout session of the week. It's a point break that handles this size, but that very long period can make it a bit top-to-bottom, especially for a beach break. Get on it.
After that, the swell drops away significantly. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th see the energy fade right down, with onshore breezes making a mess of things. Monday and Tuesday are pretty much a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. There’s a gap of quiet days here.
We get a small pulse of longer period swell coming back in on Thursday the 20th, but it's only 3ft. The good news is the wind goes glassy again that afternoon, so you might find a clean little bank if you're keen for a longboard.
Then things go flat again until the end of the period. The swell builds back up from the 24th, but it's accompanied by some stiff winds. By Wednesday the 26th, that SW groundswell is back up to 7ft again, but it's a shorter period (12s) and the wind is going to be messy. The following day, Thursday the 27th, is the biggest of the whole run with a 15ft beast, but with a strong cross-onshore wind, that’s a total mess for a paddle surfer. That kind of setup might be more appealing for the kite crew.
The real silver lining is a few weeks out. Friday morning the 28th is looking glassy again with a clean 5ft SSW swell. That’s the one to pencil in. But we're a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
To sum it up: Saturday the 15th is your absolute pick for clean, powerful surf. Friday the 28th is a promising long-range bet for some glassy fun.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Torquay Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
