The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer around Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks. First thing to note: there’s a bit of a quiet spell to kick things off, so don’t be in a rush.

We’ve got a window opening up from Monday morning, 10th of August. That morning, the water’s sitting at 56°F – pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. You’ll find a clean 4ft SW groundswell rolling in with a nice long 19-second period, and a light offshore breeze. It’s not big, but it’ll be tidy. The combined energy is moderate (1026). It’s a decent start, but don’t expect fireworks just yet.

That Monday afternoon though, the wind swings SW and cranks up to 19 mph, turning it cross-shore and lumpy – that session is a write-off. Tuesday looks better: both morning and afternoon see clean conditions with a gentle to moderate offshore breeze, holding 3–4ft SW swell with a 15-second period. The energy’s still moderate (466–616). Good, clean waves for an intermediate, but nothing to get overly emotional about.

Now, Wednesday the 12th through to Friday the 14th is where things get serious. Wednesday morning sees the swell building to 5ft, and by Thursday morning we’re at 7ft, all SW at 16 seconds. The wind holds cross-off, keeping it clean. Thursday afternoon is where it starts to hum – 7ft, clean, with combined energy climbing into the strong range (2093). That’s genuinely good. Then Friday the 14th is the standout: morning brings 8ft of SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, with a combined energy reading of 3876 – that’s proper strong. A gentle cross-off breeze keeps it clean. This is excellent, but only for experienced surfers – 8ft at a point break with that long period will wall up nicely, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. Torquay Point (Victoria) is your spot here, and crowds are often around, so expect company. The swell direction (SSW) matches the optimum SW direction well enough.

Saturday the 15th drops off a bit with 6ft and a cross-breeze, making it choppy. Not worth the paddle. Sunday the 16th sees lighter 5ft waves but with onshore wind, so it’s messy. Monday the 17th is flat and poor – 3ft and onshore, just leave the board at home.

There’s a real lull from the 17th through to about the 22nd. A few mornings on the 18th and 19th offer clean 3ft waves from a light offshore, but that’s ankle-snappers. The combined energy drops to weak (78–122) by the 20th and 21st. Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch. You might get a knee-high slide on the 18th morning if you’re desperate, but it’s not worth writing home about.

Then we get a flicker on Sunday the 23rd of August – a late call, more than a week out, so treat it as promising but uncertain. The morning shows 5ft of SW swell at 17 seconds, with a gentle offshore and combined energy strong at 1448. That’s the best of the second week, but it’s a long way off. The afternoon drops to 4ft, still clean. After that, it fades again into the 24th and 25th with onshore wind and chop.

So, the standout window is Thursday the 13th afternoon through to Friday the 14th. That Friday morning is the pick of the entire forecast – big, clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers only. If you’re keen and have the skill, that’s the one to aim for.

Stay safe, read the waves, and don’t force it when it’s not there.

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.
