The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s coming up for us.
Looking at the whole run, we’ve got a nice little build through the weekend and into next week, but the real standout is going to be that Wednesday the 9th of September. The water temperature at Torquay Point is sitting at 57°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
For the immediate weekend, Saturday the 29th of August is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. Sunday the 30th of August morning is where it starts to turn. We’ll have a 5 ft SSW swell bumping in with a light WNW cross-off breeze, making for clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 795, and that’s a solid start to the week.
Monday the 31st of August is looking good. Morning brings a 5 ft SW swell with a 15-second period, clean under a light NW offshore. The energy is up to 1069. Then Monday afternoon turns glassy with a light SE breeze and the same 5 ft SW swell, energy climbing to 1190. That’s a real window of opportunity.
Tuesday the 1st of September stays clean but the swell drops a touch, and the winds pick up from the NNW. Still rideable, but not as juicy.
Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon is a highlight with a 5 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a moderate offshore from the WNW. Energy is 1314, and it’s clean – that’s a good session.
Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon sees a big jump to 13 ft SW swell, but with a 14-second period and cross-off winds, it’s going to be a handful and only for the experienced crew. Energy is 7092, so plenty of power.
Now, if you’re looking for the best of the best, clear your calendar for Wednesday the 9th of September morning. We’ve got a 16 ft SW swell rolling in, 16-second period, and a clean offshore from the WNW. The energy is massive at 16261, and the conditions are described as exceptional for expert surfers. That’s going to be a proper day at the point, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. Bring your big-wave board.
The 10th of September Thursday morning is a nice drop back to 5 ft SW swell with a clean offshore, and the 11th of September Friday morning is glassy with a 5 ft SW swell and a 19-second period, so that’s another gem if you want a long-period groundswell.
The 12th and 13th of September keep things going with solid 6 ft to 8 ft SW swells, clean mornings, and good energy.
Overall, the best windows are Monday the 31st of August, Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon, and the absolute standout is Wednesday the 9th of September morning for the big, experienced crew. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff – the 12th and 13th are also promising.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
