The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a good look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks. The first window of proper surf kicks off this Friday afternoon, and we’ve got a mixed bag of solid swells and tricky winds. Let’s get into it.
The main break on the cards is Torquay Point. It’s a consistent point break that handles a south-west swell, and that’s exactly what we’ve got – a long-period groundswell. The water’s sitting at 56.7°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no need to dig out the extra thick wetsuit just yet.
Friday, 4th September – afternoon: We’re starting with a solid 6.9 ft south-west swell, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is ripping at 2299 (moderate-to-strong), and this is excellent stuff for experienced surfers. The point will be handling that long period nicely, drawing out into some really nice lines. This is one of the standouts of the whole forecast.
Saturday, 5th September: Morning has a 5.2 ft south-west swell, but the wind jumps to 22 mph from the NW, still offshore, but fresh and lumpy. It’s a marginal call. The afternoon sees the wind swing to WNW at 22 mph, going cross-off, and the quality drops. Not the best day, but if you’re keen, you’ll find something.
Sunday, 6th September: A cleaner prospect. Morning brings a 3.6 ft south-west swell, with a gentle WSW breeze at 9 mph (cross-off), and the period is a solid 12 seconds. The energy is moderate at 718. It’s a good, clean Sunday session. The afternoon stays similar with a light breeze, but the swell drops a touch.
Monday, 7th September: The wind turns onshore from the south, and the swell drops away. Morning sees 2.0 ft and the afternoon picks up to 3.6 ft, but it’s choppy and cross-onshore. A skip day.
Tuesday, 8th September: Now we’re talking. The morning has a tiny 3.0 ft swell, but with a 18-second period – that’s a very long groundswell. The wind is a glassy calm offshore from the NW at 3 mph, and the energy is 1014 (moderate). The afternoon is where it gets interesting: 4.6 ft south-west swell, period 17 seconds, light WSW cross-off breeze, and the energy jumps to 1510. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is another standout.
Wednesday, 9th September: The morning sees 5.6 ft swell, but a strong 22 mph SSW cross-shore wind makes it lumpy. The afternoon gets ugly – the swell jumps to 11.5 ft with a massive 16752 energy reading, but it’s onshore and messy. Only for the very experienced, and even then, it’s a tough call.
Thursday, 10th September: Still big, with 9.8 ft in the morning and 8.2 ft in the afternoon, but cross-onshore winds keep it choppy. Not great for paddle surfing – this is more of a kite-surfing setup if you’ve got the gear.
Friday, 11th September: Swell drops to 5.6 ft in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore and light. The afternoon is onshore and choppy. A bit of a nothing day.
Saturday, 12th September – morning: Here’s a real gem. 5.6 ft south-west swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions with a light easterly breeze at 3 mph. The energy is 1367, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers. The point will be glassy, clean, and running nicely. This is the best of the entire forecast.
Sunday, 13th September: The whole day offers 4.3 ft south-west swell, 16-second period, and light cross-off winds from the NNE. Clean and very good surf. A solid day to be in the water.
Monday, 14th September: The swell drops to 3.0 ft in the morning, and the wind is moderate. It’s a smaller, cleaner day, but nothing to get excited about.
Tuesday, 15th September to Friday, 18th September: This is a flat spell. The swell drops to 1.3 ft and even 1.0 ft, with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The energy readings are low (76, 65, 210, etc.).

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.
