The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, taking a look at what’s cookin’ for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, this stretch is a slow starter. The first week is mostly small and iffy, with just a few windows worth paddling out. The real standout is a good week and a half out, so don’t get too hyped too early.
For the first few days, from Sunday morning 2 August through to Saturday morning 8 August, the swell is hanging around 2 to 5 feet, mostly from the SW, but the winds are a mix of cross-off and cross-on. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. The best of this early period is Saturday morning 8 August—clear skies, light cross-off breeze from the north at 10 km/h, with a 3 ft SW swell, period 16 seconds, and combined energy of 492 (moderate). It’s not huge, but with that long period and clean conditions, Torquay Point should offer up some fun, lined-up waves. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
Then we hit a flat spell. Sunday 9 August through to Thursday 13 August is mostly poor or marginal, with swell dropping to 2 to 4 feet and winds turning cross-on or onshore. Not worth it unless you’re bored.
Now, the real highlight is Friday 14 August. Morning shows a solid 7 ft SW swell, period 18 seconds, with a WNW cross-off breeze at 15 km/h, and combined energy of 2630 (strong wave energy). The afternoon gets even better—glassed off with a 6 ft SW swell, period 17 seconds, combined energy of 1839 (strong). This is your best offering for the whole forecast. The long period groundswell will wrap into the point beautifully, giving clean, powerful lines. But at 7 ft, this is for experienced surfers only—beginners best sit this one out. The afternoon glassy conditions are a dream.
Saturday 15 August morning holds a clean 4 ft SW swell with light offshore wind, but the afternoon ramps up to 12 ft SW swell with a slight cross-on breeze—that’s big, expert-only territory, and combined energy of 6887 (very strong). Sunday 16 August morning is another solid one for experienced surfers: 6 ft SW swell, 14 seconds, light offshore, clean conditions, combined energy of 1367 (strong). Afternoon stays big at 10 ft, but with cross-shore wind and combined energy of 3606 (very strong). Monday 17 August drops right back to small and ordinary.
So, if you’re after the best, lock in Friday 14 August—especially the afternoon glass. That’s the standout. The 10 August Monday and 11 August Tuesday have some offshore winds, but the swell is smaller and the periods are long, so Torquay Point should handle it well, but it’s not the standout. Keep an eye on the long-range forecast, because that Friday session is looking like a beauty, but it’s a week and a half away, so don’t bank on it yet.

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.
