The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with a strong, long-period groundswell from the SSW, but light cross-onshore winds and a fair bit of energy making things messy. The swell is solid, but the conditions aren't really doing it for a clean session. The real standout is going to be the morning of Thursday the 17th. That’s the session to circle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

So, let’s walk through it. The early part of the week from Friday the 11th through to Monday the 14th is a bit of a washout. The swell is there, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-onshore, onshore, or just too strong and gusty. The energy is high (1314) on Friday morning, but it's not clean. You’ll be fighting the wind more than the wave. The wave energy drops right off by Monday, with only 2ft of swell. It’s a flat spell.

Then Tuesday the 15th throws a big one at us. The swell jumps up to 13ft from the SW, with a huge combined energy of 8016. The wind is cross-shore, though, creating a chop. It’s a big, powerful, messy day. That’s for experts only, if you’re brave enough to try and find a clean one. It’s a lot of water moving. The wave comment says it’s marginal, and I’d agree – the power is there, but the quality is not.

Now, the real gem. Thursday morning, the 17th of September. The wind drops to glassy, completely calm from the NNW. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SSW with a long period of 14 seconds, giving it proper shape and energy (785). The guidance says clean, and it’s a cross-off wind. This is the best bet of the whole outlook. Torquay Point will be peeling nicely, offering some long, clean walls. The crowd profile says it’s ‘often’ busy, so get there early for a chance at a quiet one.

After that, the swell drops a bit, but we get some decent offshore winds through the 18th and 19th, with 4ft to 5ft swells. The 20th of September morning is looking glassy again with a 3ft swell, which is a nice little session. The 22nd of September morning is also a standout with a 5ft, 15-second swell and a gentle offshore from the NNW, giving clean, well-shaped waves. The energy is 964, which is decent.

The second week starts to get a bit messy again. The 23rd and 24th are a write-off with strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The 25th of September morning sees a big, long-period swell (5ft, 18 seconds, 1617 energy) but it’s onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, closed-out affair. The 26th has a small, clean-ish swell but it’s cross-onshore.

So, the best of the lot is clear: Thursday morning, the 17th of September. That’s the session to plan for. The 22nd of September is a good backup. The rest is a bit of a gamble with the wind.

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.
