The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into what Torquay Point’s got for us.
We start Friday morning with a 1.7m SSW swell, but that S wind at 5 km/h is cross-on, and the energy is pumping at (1314). Not clean. Friday afternoon is worse with onshore SE wind and 2.0m swell. Skip it.
Saturday the 12th is your first real winner. The wind is north at 10 km/h, cross-off, and we’ve got 1.7m SSW groundswell with a 15-second period. The energy is strong (1340) and the waves are clean. Saturday morning is the best in the first week – good shape, no chop. Saturday afternoon holds with 1.4m SW and glassy conditions.
Sunday is weak – 1.1m dropping to 1.0m, offshore wind but not enough power (516 and 471). Not worth paddling out.
Monday and Tuesday morning are flat, 0.6m – forget it.
Tuesday the 15th brings a massive 3.0m SW pulse. That’s expert-only territory, with wild energy (5874) and cross-off wind at 25 km/h. It’ll be a beast. Tuesday afternoon is 2.5m but onshore wind makes it lumpy.
Wednesday the 16th stays big at 2.1m SSW but cross-on wind chops it up. Thursday the 17th is clean again – glassy, 1.5m SSW, and nice shape, a solid session for intermediate surfers.
Monday the 21st is the monster in the second week. 2.5m SW groundswell, a super long 19-second period, and energy roaring at (4575). Light cross-off wind. That’s a premium groundswell day for Torquay Point – long lines, heaps of push, but only for experienced surfers. Tuesday the 22nd is still clean and 1.5m with offshore wind, but smaller.
The water is 14°C, which is about average for the season – no weird warm or cold pockets, just what you’d expect.
Best bets: Saturday the 12th morning for clean, fun waves, and Monday the 21st for size and power if you’ve got the skills.
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.
