The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming in for the next 16 days. The water is about 56°F, which is normal for this time of year. Swell is mostly from the southwest, and the mornings are looking clean more often than not.
First up, Saturday the 29th of August. Torquay Point has clean 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, light offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (470). Good for intermediates. Crowds are often. The afternoon gets choppy.
Sunday the 30th morning is 5ft from the SSW, 13-second period, cross-off wind, energy rising to 835. Clean and fun. Afternoon turns cross-onshore.
Monday the 31st of August is a standout: glassy, 5ft SW, 14-second period, energy at 1063. This is your top pick for the first week—clean, lined up, and fun.
Tuesday the 1st of September has a crisp 20 km/h north cross-off with 5ft SW, very long 16-second period, energy at 871. Wednesday the 2nd morning jumps to 8ft WSW, 14-second period, energy at 3130—big and only for experts. Thursday and Friday mornings are clean with 6ft and 5ft swell.

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.
