Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles per hour. Same story, different numbers.
Only one spot on the radar for this whole run: Torquay Point. It’s a point break that fires on a SW swell, and it’s consistent. Water temp is 57°, right around average for July – no surprises there.
We kick off on Sunday the 12th, but it’s a wash. Clean with a fresh offshore WNW breeze, 4ft SW swell, but the energy is weak (528) and the report says it’s marginal. Don’t bother.
Monday the 13th is when the juice arrives. A solid 8ft to 8ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The energy is pumping hard – 2481 in the morning, 2796 in the afternoon. That’s strong. The wind is fresh offshore, so it’s clean. But at this size, it’s for experts only – over 8ft, you better know what you’re doing. That long-period groundswell at a point break will line up beautifully, but expect heavy sets and long lulls.
Tuesday the 14th stays big – 8ft to 7ft SW, still with a 16-second period and strong energy (2692 and 2185). The wind eases to a gentle cross-off, so it stays clean. Still a big-boy session.
Wednesday the 15th morning is the standout. Swell drops to a more user-friendly 6ft, still SW with a 15-second period, and energy at 1358 – solid. Gentle WNW cross-off wind keeps it clean, and the report calls it *excellent for experienced surfers*. That’s the one to circle.
Thursday the 16th has a nice 5ft to 5ft SW swell, 14 to 15-second period. The Thursday afternoon session is a ripper – glassy, zero wind, and clean. A beauty for anyone.
Friday the 17th stays clean with light offshore airs, 5ft to 5ft SW swell, decent energy. Fun, but not the highlight.
Then it fades. Saturday the 18th drops to 3ft, energy tanks to 267, and it keeps falling. From Sunday the 19th through the 24th, it’s flat to poor. That’s a dead stretch of nearly a week – don’t bother.
It comes back to life on Saturday the 25th. Glassy conditions, 4ft SW swell, a very long 17-second period, and energy bouncing back to 901. The report says *expect very good surf conditions*. That’s a promising one, but it’s 13 days out – keep your fingers crossed.
Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th finish clean and glassy, with 4ft to 5ft SW swell and good energy. Monday morning the 27th looks sweet, with a 5ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds and clean conditions.
Best on offer: Wednesday morning the 15th for the experienced – that 6ft SW groundswell, long period, and clean offshore wind is the winner. For everyone else, the glassy Thursday afternoon the 16th or the glassy Saturday morning the 25th are your sessions.
Rusty out.

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.
