The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards at Torquay Point, but you’ll need to pick your moments. The forecast kicks off immediately with a long-period groundswell from the SW, but there’s a fair bit of wind to work around. The standout window is Thursday afternoon on the 3rd of September, with a beast of a 15 ft SW swell pumping in—that’s serious energy (9711), and at 14 seconds it’s got some push. This one’s for experienced surfers only; it’s too big for beginners. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but with that size, it’ll be a handful. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.
The other gem is Friday morning, the 4th of September. You’ve got a 8 ft SW swell, still with a long 16-second period, and a gentle offshore NW breeze at 9 mph. That’s clean, lined-up waves with moderate energy (2558). It’s still punchy, so intermediate surfers will be in their element. The point will handle that long-period swell beautifully, keeping the waves from breaking too straight. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
Saturday morning the 5th is a write-off—strong offshore winds at 25 mph will make it near impossible to paddle into anything, even though it’s clean. Sunday the 6th sees a drop in size to 5 ft, with light cross-off winds, making for a much more manageable, clean session—good for a longer board or a relaxed paddle.
The following week, things get messy. The 9th of September has a 6 ft swell but with fresh cross-shore winds, lumpy and choppy. The 10th of September brings a 10 ft SSW swell, but with onshore winds, it’s blown out. The 12th of September afternoon offers a small reprieve: 4 ft SW swell with a moderate offshore wind, clean and tidy for a grovel session.
From the 14th of September onward, it drops right off—tiny 2 ft to 3 ft swells with onshore winds or just weak energy. The 15th of September morning has a slight glimmer with a 2 ft swell and a light offshore off the NNW, but it’s slim pickings. The 17th of September sees a minor uptick to 3 ft-4 ft SW swells, but with cross-off winds and moderate energy, it’s nothing to get too excited about.
Overall, the best of the bunch is Thursday afternoon, 3rd of September, for the big-wave crew, and Friday morning, 4th of September, for the cleaner, more user-friendly session. The rest of the forecast is a mix of small surf or windy, lumpy conditions, so don’t hold your breath past the first week.
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.

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.
