The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of groundswell on the way, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first week delivers some proper, clean, long-period SW swell that’ll have the point at Torquay (Torquay-Point-and-Beach) humming, especially for the more experienced crew. The second week looks a bit more mixed, with some decent size but trickier winds.
It starts off okay on Wednesday 15 July morning with a 6ft SW groundswell (15 second period), but it’s a bit bumpy with a cross-off breeze. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, with glassy conditions and a 5ft SW swell – that’s a really nice window for a session. Water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Thursday 16 July is where it really starts to fire. The morning has a punchy 6ft SSW groundswell (15 seconds) with a light cross-off breeze, and the afternoon is the standout of the whole first half: glassy conditions, 6ft SW groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping (1538). If you’re an experienced surfer, this is your window. Friday 17 July keeps the quality high with a 5ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) and offshore winds in the morning, turning glassy again in the afternoon.
Saturday 18 July sees the swell back off a touch to 3ft, but it’s still clean with offshore winds in the morning. Sunday 19 through Tuesday 21 July are small and ordinary – waves around 2ft to 2ft, not worth getting excited about.
Then we get a second pulse. Wednesday 23 July morning brings a 4ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) back into the mix. But the real monster is on Friday 24 July afternoon: a 13ft SW groundswell (15 seconds) with exceptional energy (9591). That’s a massive, powerful swell – only for experts. The point break will handle the long period, but it’s gonna be a heavy, serious day. Saturday 25 July stays big with 8ft waves, but the wind is cross-off and a bit breezy, so it’ll be a bit lumpy.
Sunday 26 and Monday 27 July are still solid (6ft to 7ft) but the wind turns onshore, making it messy. The combined energy is still high (1247 to 2327), but it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. The week wraps up from Tuesday 28 July with smaller, cleaner waves in the 2ft to 4ft range – a nice return to more manageable conditions.
The standout: Friday 24 July afternoon. That 13ft SW groundswell with light winds is a rare, powerful event. If you’re an expert, that’s the day to circle. The first Thursday 16 July afternoon is also a top-tier, glassy session for the more experienced.

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.
