The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like Torquay Point is gonna be the main game for us over the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a wait for the good stuff, but when it lines up, it’s a cracker.
The first real stand-out is this Saturday morning, the 15th of August. We’ve got a solid 6ft groundswell out of the SW, with a period hanging around 15 seconds. That’s some proper energy, pushing a combined swell energy of 1512 – it’s got some grunt. The real kicker is the wind: glassy. Dead flat. That’s going to leave the point looking like a mirror. For an intermediate, this is the pick of the early window. Water temp is sitting at 56°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The next big highlight is a week later, on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. This one’s a different beast. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the SSW, but the period is down to 9 seconds – a bit of a windswell feel to it. That’s a lot of water moving, with combined energy at 1118 (moderate to strong), but it’s pushing into the “experts only” zone for size. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean, but it’s going to be a handful. This is for the experienced crew only.
Then, right after that, Sunday the 23rd of August morning shapes up beautifully. Swell drops to a more manageable 6ft, but the period jumps back to 15 seconds (groundswell). Combined energy is 1396, and the wind is a light cross-offshore. It’s going to be excellent, clean surf for experienced surfers. That’s probably the best all-round session of the whole run.
There’s a long flat spell right at the start, with nothing much worth paddling out for until Friday the 14th, and even that morning is just okay. After the 23rd, things get a bit messy with strong winds and bigger, shorter-period swell through the next week, but the morning of Saturday the 29th of August shows some promise with a clean 4ft SSW swell and light offshore winds.
A final note: that big 12ft S swell on Wednesday the 26th of August is huge, but the period is only 9 seconds with a cross-shore wind. That setup, at a beach/point setup like Torquay, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Too sketchy for a normal stick.
Keep an eye on the weekend of the 22nd-23rd – that’s the real window to mark on the calendar.
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.
