The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
We're looking at a solid run of surf coming up for Torquay Point, with the standout period shaping up to be a real ripper mid-week next week. The water temp is sitting at 56.5° which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action kicks off Monday morning, 27 July. It's a bit of a slow starter with a 3.0ft SW groundswell, period a nice 11 seconds, and the energy is only moderate (241). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NW, so the point will be clean, but it's not exactly pumping. The afternoon cleans up a bit more with a moderate offshore breeze and a bit more period (12 seconds) and wave energy (277). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Tuesday 28 July is where things start to get interesting. The morning has a 2.6ft SSW groundswell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds and the energy kicks up to 529. The wind is a fresh offshore from the NNW, so it'll be clean, but the swell is a touch small. The afternoon is better: 4.3ft SSW groundswell, same long period, and the energy is up to 769. The wind is still a fresh offshore, but the ratings are a bit ordinary. It's a solid point break wave, but not the best of the forecast.
Wednesday 29 July is a day for the experienced crew only. The morning swell jumps to 5.9ft SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is strong (2279). The wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the WSW, so it's clean. By the afternoon, it's a beast: 13.1ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, and a massive energy reading of 9125. The wind is a fresh cross-shore from the SW, which will make it lumpy and challenging. This is big, powerful stuff, and only for experts. The point will handle it, but it's going to be a mission.
Thursday 30 July is the first real standout. The morning has a 5.6ft SSW groundswell, 13-second period, and solid energy (952). The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the WNW, leaving it clean. The afternoon is even better: 7.5ft SW groundswell, 13-second period, and energy of 2384, all with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. This is the pick of the near-term. Clean, solid, and powerful. If you can get out, do it.
Friday 31 July is a step down. The morning has a 3.3ft SSW groundswell, 12-second period, and light energy (334). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it's clean, but small. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore wind. It's a fun-sized wave, but nothing special.
Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August are small and clean. The Saturday morning has a 2.0ft SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, but the energy is low (412). The wind is a light offshore, so it's glassy, but you'll be waiting for the sets. The rest of the weekend is similar: 3.6ft to 4.3ft SW groundswells with long periods, clean winds, but low energy. It's a good time for a longboard or a funboard.
Now, the real standout is on Monday 3 August. The morning kicks off with a 3.9ft SW groundswell, 15-second period, and energy of 803, with a moderate offshore from the NW. It's clean and has some push. But the afternoon is the one: 9.8ft WSW groundswell, 14-second period, and a massive energy of 4470. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the W, so it's clean. This is the biggest, most powerful, and cleanest swell of the entire forecast. If you are an expert, this is your session. For everyone else, it's a spectator sport.
Tuesday 4 August is a comedown. The morning has a 3.9ft SSW groundswell, 12-second period, and moderate energy (473). The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, so it's clean. The afternoon turns to rubbish with rain showers and a cross-shore wind that chops it up.
From Wednesday 5 August through to Friday 7 August, the surf is poor. The swell is small, the period is long but the winds are all wrong, coming from the south and east, making it choppy and onshore. The energy is moderate, but the quality is terrible. This is a real low point.
Saturday 8 August and Sunday 9 August see a return to small, clean conditions. The mornings are the best with a 2.6ft to 3.0ft SW groundswell, and light offshore winds. The Sunday afternoon sees a bigger 4.3ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second

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.
