The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the card for Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks.

We're starting off a bit slow, but there's a solid run of surf coming. The first few days are pretty ordinary with small, weak energy. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are flat and not worth a paddle. Friday the 7th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning brings in a clean 3ft swell from the SW with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the afternoon turns glassy with the same size swell. The combined energy is moderate (521) and building to (651) by the arvo. It's a good start to the weekend.

Saturday the 8th keeps the good times rolling with a 4ft SW groundswell (16-second period) and a clean morning. The energy is solid (567). It's a consistent, intermediate-friendly point break, so you'll likely have company, but the waves will be there.

Now, the standout for the whole period is Monday the 10th. We've got a serious pulse of energy coming through. The morning sees a 4ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period and a moderate offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps to a strong (1378). By the afternoon, it's even bigger at 6ft with the same direction, and the energy is pumping at (3740). This is expert territory; the size and power are for experienced surfers only. The offshore wind will keep it clean, but that long period at a point break means it will be lined up and powerful.

The surf stays solid through the week, but conditions get a bit mixed. Wednesday the 12th has a strong offshore wind (25 mph) that will make paddling out a real chore, even if the waves are a clean 6ft. Thursday the 13th sees the biggest swell of the run, a solid 10ft from the SW, but it's got a cross-offshore wind and the energy is extreme (6251). This is big, powerful, and definitely for experts only.

The second week looks more manageable. Towards the end, Saturday the 15th has a 7ft SW swell with light winds and excellent conditions for experienced surfers (energy 2198). Then Sunday the 16th and through to the 20th, the surf drops back to a more user-friendly 3ft or so, with plenty of clean windows and light offshores. The 20th looks particularly neat with a 3ft SW groundswell and a gentle offshore breeze.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

So, to sum it up: Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th is your best bet for the average punter. But if you've got the skills, Monday the 10th is the day. The real big stuff on the 13th is for the chargers only.

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.
