The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been poring over the charts for this stretch. Let’s break it down.

First up, Torquay Point. Water temps are sitting at 57°, which is right around average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. The week ahead starts off small but clean.

Tuesday the 21st kicks off with a clean 3ft SW swell, 14-second period, and a light offshore breeze. The swell energy is moderate at 317. It’s not big, but it’s tidy. The afternoon stays clean but drops to 3ft.

Wednesday the 22nd is similar – 2ft in the morning, 3ft in the afternoon, both with offshore winds. The energy’s weak, around 178–202. Surfable, but you’ll be scratching for turns.

Now, Thursday the 23rd – here we go. A big pulse of SW groundswell hits, 12ft in the morning, period 14 seconds, energy at 6412. That’s a serious wave. Wind is cross-off at 15 mph, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. This is expert-only, over 8ft. The afternoon stays similar at 10ft.

Friday the 24th continues with a solid 8ft SSW swell, long 16-second period, energy at 3392. Still cross-off, but it’s cleaner. The morning is the pick. This is the best of the first week – decent size, good direction, and the point will handle that long-period groundswell nicely.

Saturday the 25th sees another 12ft SW pulse, but the period drops to 12 seconds. Energy’s strong at 4315. Still big, for experts only.

From Sunday the 26th through Monday the 27th, the swell backs off to 4ft–6ft. Wind stays cross-off. Cleaner but small. The Monday afternoon has a bit more punch at 6ft with a 14-second period and energy at 1163.

Then Tuesday the 28th. The afternoon is a standout. A massive 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, energy at 10630. That’s a proper groundswell. But the wind is light cross-onshore, so a bit bumpy. For experienced surfers, that’s a day to mark. The morning is also 7ft with similar energy.

Wednesday the 29th is 7ft to 6ft, SSW, long period, but winds are onshore or cross-onshore. Not the cleanest.

Now, Thursday the 30th – this is your second standout. Morning glassy conditions, NNW breeze at just 3 mph, with a 6ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy at 1459. That’s a gorgeous combo. Clean, glassy, groundswell wrapping into the point. This is the one to aim for if you want silky lines.

Friday the 31st is also worth a look – morning glassy, 5ft SSW, 15-second period, energy at 1038. Almost as good, but a touch smaller.

The first few days of August see a drop-off. Saturday the 1st is small and glassy in the morning, 3ft, but nothing to get excited about. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are poor – small, choppy, and messy. From Tuesday the 4th, there’s a bit of a rebound with 5ft SW groundswell, 19-second period, energy at 1472, and cross-off winds. The period is very long, so it’ll be better on the point than a beach break. Wednesday the 5th finishes the run with glassy 3ft, 16-second period, and clean conditions.

So, the standouts are Friday the 24th morning for the size and direction, and Thursday the 30th morning for the glassy, clean perfection. The big days on the 23rd and 28th are for experts only, but they’ll be memorable.

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.
