The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Torquay Point for the next couple of weeks. This is a classic point break, fairly exposed to SW swell. The water temp’s around 56°, which is dead average for late winter—nothing to mention.
We start with a dud Sunday the 30th: 8ft of SW swell but choppy cross-on south wind, messy energy (3154). Not worth it.
Monday the 31st is your first real chance. Morning glass off with a light NW breeze, clean 5ft SSW groundswell at 14 seconds—proper energy (1099). That long period is gold on a point. Afternoon stays glassy with 5ft SW at 15 seconds. This is the standout of the first week. Expect other folks out there.
Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are flat and windy—offshore winds up to 19 mph, but swell’s only 3 to 4ft and weak. No push.
Thursday the 3rd is a huge jump—13ft in the morning, 15ft in the arvo, all SW around 13-14 seconds. That’s way over 8ft, so experts only. The energy’s massive (7268/9737). Friday the 4th drops to 7-7ft but still well over 2.5m, clean-ish with NNW wind. Strong intermediates might have a go.
Saturday the 5th is a washout—28 mph offshore winds in the morning, 8ft swell, hard to paddle. Arvo’s still strong. Skip it.
Sunday the 6th goes mellow: 5ft SW with 14 seconds and light cross-off, arvo glassy at 4ft. Nice day for a longboard. Monday the 7th is 4ft, clean with gentle offshore wind, low energy (465) but glassy.
Second week kicks off Tuesday the 8th morning with 5ft SW at 14 seconds, light cross-off, energy moderate (1751). Arvo turns choppy with south cross-on—catch the morning.
Wednesday the 9th morning is a standout: 8ft SW with an 18-second period, light cross-off, energy thumping (3968). That’s proper groundswell for the point. Thursday the 10th morning might be the best of the whole run—8ft SW, 16 seconds, glassy as glass (5106 energy). That’s smooth, powerful, and clean. Arvo goes onshore.
Friday the 11th is clean with 6ft SSW at 15 seconds and offshore NW (1741 energy). Saturday the 12th morning is 5ft and clean, but the afternoon gets a light cross-on messin’ it up. Sunday the 13th morning is another cracker: 8ft SW with a very long 19-second period, light cross-off, energy at 3898. Clean as a whistle. Monday the 14th finishes with 8ft SW at 14 seconds and fresh north cross-off—energy still solid (2708) but wind’s pickin’ up.
Bottom line: nothin’ before the 31st. Monday the 31st is your opener—clean and glassy. The two big ones to mark are Thursday the 10th morning (glassy 8ft) and Sunday the 13th morning (clean 8ft at 19 seconds). Both are for experienced surfers only, but they’re the cream of the crop.
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.
