The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Torquay Point.
The opening days are a slow burn. Wednesday the 22nd has a tiny 2ft SW swell, but the cross-off wind and weak energy mean it’s a pass. Water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year.
Then the ocean wakes up. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th bring a massive jump to 12ft to 13ft from the SW. The energy is off the charts, and the period is 14 to 15 seconds – that’s a deep-ocean groundswell. This is big, expert-only territory, and the cross-off wind is not ideal but manageable. Friday morning, with a 13ft SW swell and the highest energy (11020), is the standout for the big-wave crew.
The weekend sees the swell drop, but it’s still substantial. Saturday the 25th has 10ft to 12ft, and it’s still powerful. By Sunday the 26th, the swell drops to 4ft, and the afternoon brings a light offshore breeze from the NW. That’s a much more user-friendly window.
The real gold is Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th. Monday morning has a 4ft SW swell with a gentle offshore. By the afternoon, the wind goes glassy calm. That’s a dream session for a point break. Tuesday the 28th is even better: a clean 5ft SSW swell in the morning, and by the afternoon, it’s 6ft with a 15-second period and light wind. That’s excellent for experienced surfers, and the energy is solid.
The end of July gets messy with onshore wind, creating a gap of poor conditions. Then, on the 1st of August, a promising long-range swell shows up: 5ft to 5ft from the SW, with a very long 16 to 17-second period and light wind. The 2nd of August has a clean 5ft morning and a powerful 7ft afternoon with a 13-second period and gentle offshore wind. That’s another top-tier window.
The 3rd and 4th of August see a shift to a shorter-period, more chaotic south swell. It’s not as clean.
The absolute best of the bunch is Tuesday the 28th afternoon. The 6ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and clean conditions – that’s the one to chase. The 2nd of August is a solid long-range bet. Torquay Point can get busy, and when it’s this good, you’ll have company.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
