The Lowdown

Imperial

Alright, listen up. We’ve got Torquay Point on the radar, and it’s lookin’ like a bit of a slow burner, but there’s some serious gold at the end of this tunnel. The water’s sittin’ at about 56°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, no real surprises there.

The first few days are a bit of a tease. Monday the 24th, we’re looking at some clean 4 ft sets from the SSW with a solid 14-second period, a nice little pulse of energy. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s surfable, but it’s not gonna light your world on fire. Tuesday and Wednesday get a bit messy with cross-shore winds and choppy conditions, so that’s a write-off. Thursday the 27th is a funny one – we get a tiny 2 ft to 3 ft wave, but glassy conditions in the arvo. Good for a log, not much else.

Now, hold on to your board. Friday the 28th is where it starts to get real. The morning has a 3 ft wave with a 18-second period from the SW, that’s a proper groundswell with some serious energy and clean offshore wind. But the real standout is the Friday afternoon. The wind drops to glassy, and that 4 ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period is gonna be absolutely perfect. The point will be reeling, long lines, proper clean. That’s your best session of the first week.

The weekend is a bit mixed, with Saturday morning offering another glassy 3 ft from the NW, but it gets onshore in the arvo. Sunday morning is looking good again, glassy and 3 ft. But the main event is coming.

Monday the 31st of August. This is the big one. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the SW, with a 19-second period. That’s massive energy and the wind is dead calm, glassy. The morning is clean, the afternoon is glassy. This is for experienced surfers only, as 6 ft on a point with that much power is no joke. The crowd is likely to be thick, but for good reason.

Tuesday the 1st of September keeps the fun going with a moderate offshore 4 ft from the SW. Then we get a bit of a lull, but the forecast is looking at another monster for Friday the 4th of September. We’re seeing 10 ft from the WSW with a 12-second period, with a moderate offshore wind. That’s a huge amount of energy, and it’s for experts only, pure and simple. Then, the last real standout is Sunday the 6th of September, another 10 ft pulse from the WSW with a strong offshore wind, again for the big dogs.

Bottom line: the first week is about waiting for Friday the 28th afternoon. That’s your window. Then the end of the month and start of September is for the experienced crew only. The 31st of August and the 4th and 6th of September are the ones to circle on the calendar. Things get a bit wild after that with some big, windy swells, so keep an eye on the conditions.

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.
