The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, with a look at the next couple of weeks for Torquay Point. We’ve got a solid run of conditions ahead, but you’ll want to pick your moments for the best of it.
The pattern kicks off this Sunday (6th September) morning with a clean, cross-off breeze from the west and a nice 3ft swell from the southwest, riding a long 14-second period. The energy’s moderate (583), and the water’s sitting at 56°, which is just about average for this time of year. It’s not huge, but it’s a fun, clean start. By Sunday afternoon, the swell jumps to 8ft, still from the southwest with a 14-second period, and the energy goes strong (2955). That’s expert territory with the size, but the wind’s a cross-off, so it’ll be a proper challenge.
Monday (7th September) turns ugly – a strong southerly change whips up a messy cross-shore and cross-on chop, with a short, weak 6-second swell. Steer clear. Tuesday (8th September) morning brings a redemption: a glassy 3ft groundswell from the southwest with a very long 18-second period, and a light cross-off. The energy’s moderate (1070), shapes will be clean, and the sets will have some real push. Tuesday afternoon gets a bit more onshore, but still manageable.
Wednesday (9th September) is a mixed bag – the morning is blown out by a strong 30 km/h SSW wind, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The afternoon, however, packs a punch: an 12ft swell from the southwest with an 18-second period, and energy is through the roof (13595). That’s big, powerful, and for experts only. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’ll be a washing machine, but the sheer size is worth noting.
Thursday (10th September) morning is the standout. A 10ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, light cross-off winds from the west-southwest, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (4773), and it’s firing for experienced surfers. Thursday afternoon drops back with a bit of cross-chop.
The rest of the first week shows a steady pulse of southwest groundswell, with clean mornings on Friday (11th) and Saturday (12th) – both around 6ft to 5ft, light offshore winds, and good energy. Saturday afternoon is a real treat: glassy, with a 5ft swell and a 16-second period, light offshore airs. That’s a great session for the intermediate crew.
The second week opens with a few smaller days, but the real standout is Tuesday (15th September) morning: a 7ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, light offshore winds, and strong energy (2246). Clean, powerful, and excellent for those who know what they’re doing. Tuesday afternoon is similar but a touch bigger at 7ft.
Then we have a gap of poor, small windswell until Saturday (19th September) morning, which brings a promising but less certain 6ft southwest swell at 16 seconds, with a fresh offshore from the northwest. The energy’s strong (3166), but the wind is strong too, making it a bit of a battle. Sunday (20th) is messy with moderate cross-off winds.
The final call is Monday (21st September) morning: an 8ft southwest groundswell with an 18-second period, gentle offshore winds, and very strong energy (3681). That’s expert-level, clean, and powerful – a great way to close out the window.
All round, the best bets are Sunday (6th) morning for a fun, clean start, and the following Thursday (10th) and Tuesday (15th) mornings for the bigger, cleaner groundswell. Torquay Point can get crowded, so keep an eye out for the crew.
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.
Torquay Point is 21 km (13 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
