Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the coming swells. We’re kicking things off at Torquay Point. It’s a point break that's fairly exposed to the swell and works best when it's coming from the SW.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. We’ve got some solid runs early on, but you’ll have to be picky about your windows. The standout for me is the Monday the 13th into Tuesday the 14th. It’s a fair way out, so don’t lock it in, but the potential is huge.
The best swell of the whole window looks to be the one lining up for Saturday, July 5th. Wait, hold on, let me re-read the board. Actually, we’ve got nothing on the Saturday. It’s a bit of a slow start with a small, weak surf.
Alright, the first real action starts on Saturday, July 4th. The morning has a solid 12 ft SW groundswell with a long 13-second period. The combined swell energy is pumping at 4839, so there’s plenty of power. The wind is a cross-off from the WSW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. But at 12 ft, this is big, expert-only territory. The afternoon gets a bit smaller at 8 ft, but the wind swings onshore and picks up, making it rough. That morning session is the only window here.
Sunday, July 5th is a complete write-off. Onshore wind and a messy 8 ft swell – just don’t bother.
Monday, July 6th is the first nice, manageable day. We’ve got a clean 4 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. The morning is glassy with a light N cross-off at 6 mph. It’s not huge, but the energy is a moderate 769, and it’ll be perfect for a longboard or a mid-length. This is a nice, fun wave.
Tuesday, July 7th brings another sweet morning session. Glassy conditions with a light WNW breeze at 3 mph, and a 4 ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period. The energy reads 1145. It’s small but clean, and that long period will wrap nicely around the point. This is a great call for a dawny before work.
Wednesday, July 8th is a write-off with onshore wind and a bumpy 4 ft swell. Not good.
From Thursday, July 9th through Sunday, July 12th, it’s a flat spell. Small, weak swells and onshore or poor wind. The energy drops to below 500 most of the time. Not worth getting wet.
Now for the real highlight. Monday, July 13th. This is the big one. We’ve got a massive 13 ft SW swell on the cards for the morning. The combined energy is a very strong 9561. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW at 16 mph. This is serious power. At 13 ft with that period, it will only be for the absolute experts, and even then, it will be a battle. The afternoon settles to 10 ft but the wind picks up to 19 mph. This is extreme.
Tuesday, July 14th is the best of the big swell run. The morning drops to a still-chunky 8 ft SSW swell with a 15-second period. The energy is still a strong 2615. The wind is a clean cross-off from the W at 12 mph. The afternoon improves further: 7 ft, cross-off wind at 9 mph, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is your best window for big, clean waves that are still manageable for a strong intermediate. The energy is 1737.
After that, the swell fades quickly. Wednesday, July 15th and Thursday, July 16th are messy and onshore. The rest of the run into July 19th is small and mostly clean but weak, with the combined energy rarely breaking 500. Not much to get excited about.
So, my pick: If you’re a charger, be up for the morning of Monday, July 13th. For the best all-round big-wave session that won't kill you, Tuesday, July 14th is your day. For the fun, small stuff, grab Monday, July 6th morning.
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.
