Torquay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here, checkin’ out what the surf’s got lined up for Torquay Point. It’s a real rollercoaster – some proper heavy water and clean glass, but also plenty of blown-out junk and flat, quiet days. Water temp is sittin’ around 58°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

Saturday the 4th of July morning starts with a solid 12ft SW swell, period around 13 seconds, and a light cross-off from the WSW. That’s a lot of water – combined energy is a beefy 4785, so it’s strong out there. Over 8ft, this is expert-only territory. The wind swings onshore in the arvo, so the morning is your only shot if you’re keen.

Sunday the 5th is a total loss – onshore wind and poor conditions. Skip it. Monday the 6th cleans right up with a N wind at 5 km/h and a 4ft SSW swell (14-second period, 769 energy – moderate). Clean waves on offer Tuesday the 7th morning is the glassy gem: dead calm, no wind, and a 4ft SW swell with a super-long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, perfect for the point. This is a standout window for a smooth, clean session. Crowds can be *often* here, so get out before the rush.

Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th have a bit more wind, but the swell runs about 3ft to 4ft with a long period, so there’s still a few fun ones. Thursday morning with a light N cross-off is your best bet. Friday the 10th keeps the clean morning vibes with a 3ft SW swell.

Then we hit a dead zone from Saturday the 11th right through to Tuesday the 14th afternoon – tiny swell, strong winds, and combined energy dropping into the double digits (54 to 163). That’s just weak. Don’t bother.

Things fire back up Tuesday the 14th afternoon with a jump to 10ft SSW swell, but the period is only 11 seconds and it’s cross-shore. Plenty of water, but the wind is messy. Wednesday the 15th morning gives you a 7ft SSW swell with a clean cross-off, but the period is short at 9 seconds, so the waves might be a bit lumpy. Still, for experienced surfers, it’s ridable.

Now, here’s the big one. Friday the 17th morning already looks killer with a 8ft SW swell (15-second period) and a clean offshore NW wind at 15 km/h. But Friday afternoon is the absolute bomb: a 13ft SW swell with the same NW wind blowin’ 25 km/h and holdin’ offshore. The combined energy is a massive 10540 – that’s extremely strong. This is an *exceptional* session for expert surfers only. Long-period swell on a point break like this is the dream. Crowds will be thick, but for that kind of wave, you make the call.

Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th keep the offshore flow, but the swell drops to 8ft and then 4ft. Sunday the 19th is clean but smaller. That Friday 17th afternoon is the one you circle on the calendar. After that, it fades away again. Get on it.

Rusty.
