The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off pretty quiet. The first few days are a bit of a slow burner with small, clean but weak waves. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see tiny 2ft to 3ft SW groundswells. The wind is light and offshore, so it'll be glassy, but the energy is weak. It's a good time for a longboard or a learner's session, but nothing to get too excited about. Wednesday morning the 22nd picks up a bit of breeze, still clean, but the swell stays small.
Things get a bit heavy towards the end of the week. Thursday the 23rd sees a big jump in size, with 10ft to 12ft SW swell rolling in and a massive jump in energy. But the wind is cross-off, not ideal. This is big, powerful stuff. At over 8ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The same goes for Friday the 24th with 8ft to 8ft SSW swell and a fresh cross-off breeze. The weekend stays lumpy and big, with Saturday the 25th seeing another 12ft pulse. It's all a bit raw and messy through this period.
The standout window is actually rolling into the second week. Wednesday the 29th of July is looking like a real gem. We get a 6ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is forecast to be dead glassy in the morning. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is strong. This is the pick of the bunch for quality, clean waves. The offshore wind on Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st keeps it clean, with slightly smaller but still very rideable 4ft to 5ft SSW swell.
Then, hold onto your hats. The real heavyweight is shaping up for the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of August. Sunday the 2nd of August sees a massive 13ft to 15ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period. The wave energy is extreme. This is a monster swell. The wind is cross-off but clean. At these sizes, with that period, it's going to be a wash-through at the beach, but for a point break like Torquay, it could be a proper, world-class event. It's a long-range forecast, so keep an eye on it, but if it comes together, it'll be the one to remember. Monday the 3rd of August still has solid 7ft to 8ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds, another excellent day for the experienced crew.
Overall, we've got a slow start, a messy big-swell window mid-week, and then a cracking finish with a glassy day on the 29th and a potential epic on the 2nd of August. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about normal for this time of year, so don't forget the rubber.
Rusty.

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.
