The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Torquay Point. There’s a fair bit of size on the way, but you’ve gotta pick your moments with the wind. The water’s hangin’ around 56°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off proper on Thursday the 10th, but it’s a bit of a messy start. Thursday morning you’ve got 8 ft of SSW groundswell – that’s a long 16-second period – but the wind is a cross SSW breeze at 9 mph, so it’s a little lumpy. The combined energy is strong at 3464. Not the cleanest, but there’s plenty of push. Thursday arvo the wind swings more cross-on and the quality drops right off.
Friday the 11th stays marginal. Friday morning is 6 ft with a light cross-on, and Friday arvo brings 7 ft and an onshore wind. Not worth gettin’ excited about.
Now, Saturday the 12th is the first real standout. Saturday morning you’ve got 6 ft of SSW groundswell, period 15 seconds, with a clean cross-off NNE breeze at 6 mph. The wave energy is moderate (1430). Then Saturday arvo it goes glassy – NE wind at 3 mph, with 5 ft SW swell. That’s a beautiful window for a point break, clean faces and easy paddling. This is the best on offer in the first week.
Sunday the 13th drops off quick, only 4 ft in the morning and 3 ft by arvo. Clean enough with cross-off winds, but barely any power. Monday the 14th is tiny, 2 ft and 1 ft – not worth a paddle.
Then Tuesday the 15th brings a solid pulse: 13 ft of SW swell in the morning, but with a cross wind at 12 mph. The combined energy is very strong (7681). That’s a lot of water moving, but the cross-shore chop makes it a grindy session. Unless you’re a strong paddler, this one’s for experts only. Tuesday arvo drops to 8 ft but the wind is cross-on and choppy – not great.
Wednesday the 16th sees 6 ft to 6 ft of SSW groundswell, but onshore winds both sessions. Thursday the 17th morning is a nice one: 5 ft of SSW swell with a gentle offshore NW wind at 9 mph. That’s clean and lined up. The energy is moderate (1068). A solid option.
Friday the 18th morning is another standout. You’ve got 8 ft of SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and a gentle offshore WNW breeze at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (2032). This is serious size for a point, and the offshore wind will have it holding up nicely. That’s your second big highlight of the outlook.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th is small again, 4 ft to 5 ft, then Sunday arvo the 20th jumps to 8 ft with a clean cross-off wind – but the energy is strong (3872), so there’s plenty of grunt.
Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd are mostly onshore and messy. Wednesday the 23rd is a write-off: 10 ft in the morning, 15 ft in the arvo with strong cross-on winds (19 mph and 16 mph). The energy is very strong (10754 arvo). That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Thursday the 24th stays cross-on with 7 ft of swell – not your day.
But then Friday the 25th – that’s a cracker. Friday morning delivers 8 ft of SSW groundswell, a very long 17-second period, with a light cross-off NNE breeze at 6 mph. The energy is strong (4058). The water’s clean, the swell is pumping, and the point will handle that long period perfectly. This is the best option of the whole forecast. Friday arvo stays clean with a slight air and 7 ft. That’s a proper send-off.
So, to wrap it up: Saturday the 12th and Friday the 25th are your standouts. The 18th is also a ripper. Mid-period is hit and miss, and the big days mid-month are best left to the experienced crew.
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.
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.
