Torquay Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, with a look at the next couple of weeks for Torquay Point. We’ve got a solid run of conditions ahead, but you’ll want to pick your moments for the best of it.

The pattern kicks off this Sunday (6th September) morning with a clean, cross-off breeze from the west and a nice 3ft swell from the southwest, riding a long 14-second period. The energy’s moderate (583), and the water’s sitting at 56°, which is just about average for this time of year. It’s not huge, but it’s a fun, clean start. By Sunday afternoon, the swell jumps to 8ft, still from the southwest with a 14-second period, and the energy goes strong (2955). That’s expert territory with the size, but the wind’s a cross-off, so it’ll be a proper challenge.

Monday (7th September) turns ugly – a strong southerly change whips up a messy cross-shore and cross-on chop, with a short, weak 6-second swell. Steer clear. Tuesday (8th September) morning brings a redemption: a glassy 3ft groundswell from the southwest with a very long 18-second period, and a light cross-off. The energy’s moderate (1070), shapes will be clean, and the sets will have some real push. Tuesday afternoon gets a bit more onshore, but still manageable.

Wednesday (9th September) is a mixed bag – the morning is blown out by a strong 30 km/h SSW wind, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The afternoon, however, packs a punch: an 12ft swell from the southwest with an 18-second period, and energy is through the roof (13595). That’s big, powerful, and for experts only. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’ll be a washing machine, but the sheer size is worth noting.

Thursday (10th September) morning is the standout. A 10ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, light cross-off winds from the west-southwest, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (4773), and it’s firing for experienced surfers. Thursday afternoon drops back with a bit of cross-chop.

The rest of the first week shows a steady pulse of southwest groundswell, with clean mornings on Friday (11th) and Saturday (12th) – both around 6ft to 5ft, light offshore winds, and good energy. Saturday afternoon is a real treat: glassy, with a 5ft swell and a 16-second period, light offshore airs. That’s a great session for the intermediate crew.

The second week opens with a few smaller days, but the real standout is Tuesday (15th September) morning: a 7ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, light offshore winds, and strong energy (2246). Clean, powerful, and excellent for those who know what they’re doing. Tuesday afternoon is similar but a touch bigger at 7ft.

Then we have a gap of poor, small windswell until Saturday (19th September) morning, which brings a promising but less certain 6ft southwest swell at 16 seconds, with a fresh offshore from the northwest. The energy’s strong (3166), but the wind is strong too, making it a bit of a battle. Sunday (20th) is messy with moderate cross-off winds.

The final call is Monday (21st September) morning: an 8ft southwest groundswell with an 18-second period, gentle offshore winds, and very strong energy (3681). That’s expert-level, clean, and powerful – a great way to close out the window.

All round, the best bets are Sunday (6th) morning for a fun, clean start, and the following Thursday (10th) and Tuesday (15th) mornings for the bigger, cleaner groundswell. Torquay Point can get crowded, so keep an eye out for the crew.

Rusty.
