The Lowdown
Alright, let’s roll this out in feet and miles per hour, same story.
Torquay Point is where it’s at for this whole run. First proper surf hits on Friday morning, July 31st. We got a SW swell at about 4ft, period 12 seconds – clean groundswell with a light WNW cross-off breeze. Water temp’s 57°, right on average. The combined energy is in the moderate range (371), not huge but fun. Friday afternoon goes glassy with a sweet SSE breeze, swell holds around 3ft.
Saturday, August 1st, starts small (2ft) but that period jumps to 17 seconds – real long-period groundswell. Energy 527. By Saturday afternoon, it picks up to 5ft with the same 17-second period, energy rockets to 1724 – strong. Clean northerly cross-off. This is the standout session for the week, especially for experienced surfers.
Sunday morning (August 2nd) has swell 5ft, 16-second period, but wind picks up to 12 mph from the north – still cross-off, but getting windier. Energy 986. It’s okay, but not as clean as Saturday.
Monday, August 3rd, the swell drops a bit (4-5ft), period 14-15 seconds. Winds NW to W at 15 mph, offshore at times. Energy moderate to strong (915-1079). Risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Tuesday, August 4th, morning sees a big 8ft swell from the SW, period 11 seconds. That’s over 8ft – expert only. Energy 2258, very strong. Winds W at 12 mph, cross-off. Afternoon drops to 6ft but cross-shore winds make it messy.
Wednesday, August 5th, goes tiny – 2ft in the morning but the period is 19 seconds! Very long period. Clean W cross-off. Energy 394. Log territory.
Thursday August 6th through Sunday August 9th is mostly flat to weak (2-3ft) with strong winds (18-22 mph out of the N/NNE). Some glassy moments early on the 6th but the swell’s poor. Forecasts call it poor surf. A real dead spot.
Monday August 10th shows 4ft from the SW, 14-second period, with strong offshore NNW winds at 22 mph. Clean but a fight to get out. Energy 632-801.
Tuesday, August 11th is another standout. Morning swell 6ft, 16-second period, and a howling NW offshore at 25 mph. Energy hits 1787. Clean as a whistle but you’ll earn every wave – strong paddlers only. Afternoon drops to 6ft, still clean and strong offshore.
Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th are tiny (2-3ft) with fresh offshore winds (15-18 mph). Not worth it.
Friday, August 14th throws a curveball – morning 10ft from the SE, period only 8 seconds. That’s a short-period wind swell, big but messy. Energy 1647. Afternoon though – 3ft from the SW with a 21-second period! That’s an incredibly long groundswell. Energy 1534, clean with a W cross-off. Dreamy, fun-sized.
Saturday, August 15th closes with 6ft from the SSW, 17-18 second period, NNW winds at 15 mph. Energy strong (1887-1626). Clean but the direction is a bit off for the point.
Best days: Saturday afternoon August 1st for the combo of size, period, and clean wind. Friday afternoon August 14th for the rare, glassy, super-long-period fun. And if you’re strong, Tuesday morning August 11th for the ultra-clean, heavy offshore session.
That gap from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th is a write-off. Keep the board ready, though – the forecasts can change.
Stay salty.

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.
