Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Torquay Point area over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a big spike of energy coming through, but you’ve got to pick your windows carefully.
We’re starting off on a bit of a flat note. Saturday the 11th is a write-off – there’s a little 2ft SW swell, but the wind is howling from the north at 22 mph, and it’s just messy. Forget it. The real story starts to build on Sunday the 12th. The swell pushes up to 4.3ft by the morning with a clean offshore wind from the WNW at 22 mph, and the combined energy is ramping up (473). It’s still a bit raw, but it’s a sign of things to come.
Then we hit the main event. Monday the 13th is the standout. The swell jumps to 7.5ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is pumping at 2481. The wind is blowing fresh offshore from the NW at 22 mph, so Torquay Point is going to be firing. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so bring a decent steamer. This is big, powerful surf – over 8ft is strictly for the experienced crew. This setup will favour the point break, as that long-period swell can get a bit straight at the beach. The quality is high, but the crowd is likely to be *often* busy because of it.
Tuesday the 14th keeps the size up, with 8.2ft in the morning and 7.2ft in the afternoon, still with a 16-second period and strong energy (2982). The wind goes lighter and cross-off from the west, so it stays clean, but it remains a challenging, heavy wave for experts only. Wednesday the 15th is a step down to a more manageable 5.9ft, but the morning has a lovely gentle offshore from the WNW, making for some excellent, clean lines. Thursday the 16th drops further, but the afternoon is a real gem with glassy conditions and a 4.3ft SSW swell – super clean and inviting.
After that, the swell backs off significantly. Friday the 17th offers a last little pulse of 5.6ft with light offshore winds, but from the 18th onwards, it gets very small. We’re looking at a solid week of small, weak surf from the 19th right through to the 25th, with swell heights mostly under 4ft. There is a bit of a tease on Friday the 24th with a 5.2ft, 17-second swell that shows up, but the wind is cross-off, not fully offshore. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but don’t bank on it.
So, to sum it up: if you’re an experienced surfer, Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are your big, powerful windows at Torquay Point. For everyone else, the cleanest, most user-friendly waves will be Wednesday morning the 15th and Thursday afternoon the 16th.
Stay frothy.

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.
