The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s rolling into Torquay Point. The next couple days are small, but we’ve got a solid run of quality surf building from Friday the 21st that’s worth waking up for. Water temp is about 56°F, pretty average for this time of year, so you’ll need a wetsuit but not the thickest one.

We’re starting slow. Wednesday afternoon the 19th has a tiny 1ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but it’s light rain and a cross-off wind, so it’s clean but just not enough to paddle for. Thursday the 20th stays small and clean with offshore winds, but we’re only looking at 1ft to 2ft.

Things fire up Friday the 21st. Expect good surf with a solid 3ft SW groundswell (15-second period) and clean offshore winds from the WNW in the morning. The combined energy is moderate (350), and it gets even better into the afternoon as the period stretches to 18 seconds and energy picks up (374). This is a classic point break setup – those long period SW swells wrap in beautifully.

Saturday the 22nd sees the swell jump to 5ft, still from the SW with a 15-second period. The morning is a bit cross-off, but the afternoon cleans up with a light WNW breeze. The energy is strong now (1123), and while the morning is marginal, the afternoon is looking very good. Sunday the 23rd is the real standout. Morning has clean 5ft waves with offshore wind, and the afternoon is pure magic: 5ft, 16-second period, light cross-off breeze, and the swell energy is pumping at 1387. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s a bit much for beginners at 5ft, but it’s clean and powerful.

Monday the 24th drops back to 2ft-3ft, but still with good offshore winds, so it’s fun smaller waves. The energy is moderate (348-405). Then Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th go south as onshore winds mess things up. The swell gets messy, and on the 26th afternoon we even see a 7ft SW swell, but with a short 10-second period and onshore wind, it’s poor quality. That’s more of a kite session than a surf.

After a brief clean-up on Thursday the 27th with small, ordinary waves, we get a proper standout for the end of the month. On Friday the 28th August, the morning brings a massive 10ft SW groundswell (13-second period) with offshore NNW winds. The energy is huge at 5395 – this is expert-only territory. Then the afternoon goes glassy with a light WNW breeze and a 4ft, 16-second SW swell that’s still packing 1602 energy. That afternoon session is an absolute treat for experienced surfers.

Saturday the 29th is big again, but tricky. The morning has an 12ft SW swell (14 seconds) with a cross-shore wind, but the energy is a massive 6935. This is huge and powerful, and the tide or conditions will be questionable. The afternoon drops to 8ft but with onshore wind, so it’s messy. The rest of the run into early September looks small and mostly cross or onshore, with only marginal surf on offer.

The pick of the bunch: If you’re experienced, don’t miss Sunday the 23rd afternoon (Torquay Point) – 5ft, 16-second SW groundswell, clean, and excellent. For the big wave crew, Friday the 28th afternoon’s glassy 4ft on a 16-second period is a dream, but that morning’s 10ft is the real test.

Rusty.

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.
