The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watchin’ this stretch of coast like a hawk. Alright, we’ve got some action on the way, but it’s a bit of a slow burn to start. July 25 kicks things off with a chunky, long-period SW groundswell pushin’ in. Torquay Point (Torquay-Point-and-Beach) is the spot we’re lookin’ at, and it’s a consistent point break that handles a solid SW swell well. The water’s sittin’ around 56.7°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprise there.
Saturday morning, July 25, we’ve got a 11.5 ft SW swell from a 12-second period and a combined energy of 5132, which is a serious wall of water. That’s a lot of energy, but it’s paired with a 12.4 mph WSW cross-off wind. The comment says “marginal surf forecast,” but a point break like this can handle some wind. Still, that size is big—over 8.2 ft, so it’s really only for the experienced crew. Afternoon drops to 5.6 ft SSW, energy down to 908, still cross-off, but the tide conditions are questionable. It’s a tough day to call a standout.
Sunday, July 26, things settle. Morning has 4.3 ft SSW with a 9.3 mph cross-off, and afternoon cleans right up with a 3.6 ft SW at 11 seconds and a 3.1 mph offshore wind from the NW. That’s a beautiful, glassy afternoon window. Energy is 274, moderate, but it’s clean. Just a shame the swell is a bit small for a big thrill.
Monday, July 27, is a write-off. Swell drops to 3.0 ft, weak energy around 214, and the wind is a 12.4 mph cross-off from the north. Poor conditions, no scores there. Tuesday, July 28, tries to rally with a 3.6 ft SW swell at 13 seconds and a 15.5 mph offshore from the NW in the morning—energy 437, moderate. Afternoon gets a 4.3 ft SW at 15 seconds (long period) and 702 energy, but the wind swings to 18.6 mph cross-off. Still marginal. Not the day.
Wednesday, July 29, is a big one: 8.2 ft SSW at 16 seconds (very long period) and a combined energy of 2967 in the morning. That’s a deep, powerful groundswell, but it’s cross-on at 15.5 mph, and the comment says “poor surf conditions.” That’s a lot of wave energy wasted on choppy, messy conditions. Afternoon sees 5.9 ft SW at 15 seconds, 1446 energy, with a cross-shore wind. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
Now, here’s where it gets tasty. The real standout is Saturday, August 1. We’ve got a 4.6 ft SW swell at 17 seconds in the morning with a 9.3 mph offshore from the NW—energy 1219, strong. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s clean with gentle offshore wind. Then the afternoon fires up: 6.2 ft SW at 18 seconds (very long period) and a combined energy of 2175, with a 12.4 mph offshore from the NW. The comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the best of the whole run. The wind is perfect, the swell is solid, and the point break at Torquay will handle that long period beautifully. It’s a bit of a wait, but this one’s worth it.
After that, Sunday, August 2, sees a 6.6 ft SW at 16 seconds, energy 2143, but it’s cross-on and choppy. No good. Monday, August 3, through Tuesday, August 4, is a slow fade: small swell, poor conditions. Wednesday, August 5, has a 1.6 ft SW swell at 15 seconds with a 18.6 mph offshore from the NNW, but the energy is only 209. It’s clean but tiny. Thursday, August 6, is similar—2.6 ft at 15 seconds, 294 energy, offshore wind but marginal.
Friday, August 7, brings a nice little pulse: 3.3 ft SW at 16 seconds in the afternoon, energy 1233, with a gentle offshore from the WNW. That’s “very good surf conditions” and a solid second standout, especially for the second week. Saturday, August 8, morning has 4.3 ft SSW at 14 seconds, 688 energy, and a 12.4 mph offshore from the NW. Clean and fun. But August 9 finishes with a whimper—light rain, cross-shore winds, and small swell.
So, the best of the bunch is August 1 at Torquay Point, with that 6.2 ft SW groundswell and offshore wind. Close second is August 7 afternoon. The gap between July 29 and August 1 is a few days of poor surf, but the wait is rewarded.
Keep in mind, that Torquay Point is a consistent spot, so crowds are possible, especially on a Saturday with clean conditions. The swell direction is SW

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.
