The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First up, it's a bit of a slow start, but don't write it off just yet. We've got a quiet period from Monday the 17th through to Thursday the 20th, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 56°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

The first real chance of a decent session comes in on Friday morning, the 21st of August. Torquay Point will be the go. We're looking at a clean 4 ft swell from the southwest, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the west-northwest. That's a winning combo. The combined swell energy is sitting at a solid 561, so there's some good power in the water. The period is 15 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell with nice shape and those longer lulls between sets.

Saturday the 22nd sees the swell size bump up, but the wind swings around and makes things a bit trickier. The morning has a 5 ft SW swell with a cross-offshore breeze, which is still surfable, but the afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a 6 ft swell and a light cross-shore wind. That bigger swell is getting into the expert territory, so if you're not confident, maybe give it a miss.

Now, Sunday the 23rd of August is the standout. The morning has a 5 ft SW swell with a clean, moderate offshore from the northwest. The energy is pumping at 1151, and the conditions are set to be very good. The afternoon holds up well too, with a 4 ft SW swell and the same offshore wind. This is the best on offer in the first week. Torquay Point handles the southwest swell direction perfectly, and with that offshore wind, it'll be a ripper.

Things go a bit flat and messy from Monday the 24th through to Wednesday the 26th, with onshore winds and small, weak swells. Not worth stressing about.

The next real window opens up on Thursday the 27th of August. The morning has a clean 3 ft SW swell with a light offshore from the west-northwest. The energy is 384, and the period is a very long 18 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell, so it'll have plenty of push and good shape, especially on a point break like Torquay Point.

Friday the 28th is also solid, with a 2 ft SW swell and a moderate offshore breeze in the morning. Clean conditions again.

Then, on Saturday the 29th of August, we get another big bump. The morning has a 7 ft SSW swell, but the period is only 8 seconds. That's a short-period wind swell, so it'll be a bit choppy and not as well-shaped. The energy is 1231, so there's plenty of power, but it's big and messy. The afternoon has a 7 ft SW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is onshore, making it a bit of a mess. This one is for the expert crew only.

Sunday the 30th settles down a bit, with a clean 4 ft SW swell and light cross-offshore winds in the morning. A good option if you want a more relaxed session.

Looking into the second week, Monday the 31st of August has a solid 7 ft SW swell with a 17-second period and a light cross-shore wind. The energy is huge at 2230. That's a lot of power, but the wind is not ideal. It's a promising window, but less certain this far out.

After that, Tuesday the 1st of September sees a drop in size and a strong cross-offshore wind, which will keep things clean but a bit smaller. The energy is moderate.

So, to wrap it up, the best bet in the first week is definitely Sunday the 23rd of August, with clean, offshore conditions and a solid 5 ft SW groundswell. For the second week, keep an eye on Saturday the 29th if you're an expert, or Sunday the 30th for a cleaner, smaller option.

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.
