The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s happening at Torquay Point.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid, clean swell rolling in, but the quality is being held back a bit by the wind. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first half of the period is dominated by a strong, powerful SW groundswell. Thursday the 23rd sees a big 12 ft to 13 ft SW swell with a long 14-second period, and the combined energy is massive (6859 to 7834). It’s clean, but the wind is a moderate cross-off breeze, so while it’s rideable, it’s not perfect. This is serious, expert-level size – well over 8 ft – so only the experienced crew should be out there. The period is long, which is great for a point break like this, giving you proper lines.

Friday the 24th keeps the energy up with a 13 ft SW swell in the afternoon, but again, the wind is a cross-off. The swell is powerful, but the conditions are just “marginal” due to the breeze. The wave energy is very strong (8240).

Saturday the 25th sees a drop in size to a more manageable 7 ft to 10 ft, still with a 13-second period. The wind is lighter, especially in the afternoon with a gentle cross-off breeze, making the surf cleaner. The wave energy is moderate to strong (1394 to 3962).

Sunday the 26th is where things get interesting. The morning is still a bit fat, but by the afternoon, the wind swings offshore (WNW) and the swell drops to 4 ft. The period is 11 seconds, and the energy is low (284). The comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is a nice, clean, surfable wave, perfect for a fun session.

The following week is a bit of a mixed bag. Monday the 27th has a fresh offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny (3 ft). Tuesday the 28th sees a small increase in swell and period, with a 6 ft, 16-second SSW groundswell in the afternoon. The energy is moderate (1424), but it’s still a cross-off wind.

Then we hit a flat spot. Wednesday the 29th is a write-off – a strong 12 ft cross-on shore wind turns the ocean into a choppy mess. Thursday the 30th is small and onshore, with a light breeze from the east. The surf is very ordinary.

The real standout window is the first few days of August. Starting Saturday the 1st, we get a 5 ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, gentle offshore winds, and very good conditions. The wave energy is moderate (885). This is the pick of the lot for a clean, quality wave. Sunday the 2nd is even better – glassy conditions with a 4 ft SW swell. The energy is still moderate (827). The following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday all offer clean, offshore conditions with consistent 3 ft to 4 ft swell. This is a solid run of fun, clean surf.

The best day on offer is Thursday the 6th of August. The morning sees a 5 ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1487). The wind is a gentle cross-off, and the forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” The afternoon goes glassy. This is the one to circle if you’re after the best quality wave of the whole forecast. The long period will make for some beautiful, long lines at the Point.

The final day, Friday the 7th of August, also looks good with a 5 ft, 17-second groundswell, light winds, and excellent conditions.

Bottom line: The first week is for big-wave hunters only, with a few clean windows. The second week, starting August 1st, is where the fun, clean, medium-sized surf kicks in, and the absolute standout is Thursday the 6th of August. Get in the water.

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.
