The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down your surf options over the next couple of weeks.
It’s all about Torquay Point for this stretch. We’re looking at a real mix of big, powerful days and some clean windows, but you’ve got to work around the wind.
Thursday 3rd September kicks off with a huge lump of swell: 13ft to 15ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period, packing a serious punch (combined energy of 8086–9613). The problem is a stiff 15 mph W cross-offshore wind. It’ll be clean but it’s a beast. This is strictly for the experienced crew.
Friday 4th September is your golden ticket. The swell drops to a much more manageable 7ft to 7.5ft from the SW, still with that lovely long 16-second period. Winds go light NW offshore at 9 mph. This is the best of the run. Clean conditions, solid energy (2387–2328), and that point break will be running like a dream. Water temp is about average for this time of year, but with that glassy feel, it’s hard to beat. Get in early because it often gets crowded here.
Saturday 5th September is a write-off. A strong 28 mph WNW wind blows hard, making the 5ft to 6.5ft SW swell a messy, tough paddle. Clean but not fun.
Sunday 6th September is a nice little recovery. Swell drops to 4.5ft to 5ft SW, with a very light WSW breeze. Clean, easy-going surf. Good for a cruise.
After that, the week goes flat and average. Monday 7th September is poor with only 3ft of messy swell. The next real highlight is Thursday 10th September morning. You get a 8ft SSW groundswell with an extra-long 18-second period, light offshore wind, and powerful energy (4634). This is a prime session for strong surfers.
Into the second week, Wednesday 16th September after lunch looks juicy. A massive 13ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a fresh NW offshore wind. The energy is huge (10462). That is a big, clean wall for experts only.
The standout without a doubt is Friday morning 4th September. Don’t miss it.

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.
