The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Torquay Point has cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
It’s a bit of a mixed forecast, with a slow start, but there’s plenty of good if you time it right. Water temp is 13°—about normal for the season, nothing outta the ordinary.
Friday the 28th of August? Forget it. Waist-high 1.3m swell from the southwest, but the cross-onshore wind is blowin’ it out. Not worth your time.
Saturday the 29th starts to shape up. Morning brings 1.1m of southwest swell with light cross-offshore wind—clean and rideable. Nothing huge, but you’ll get wet.
Sunday the 30th morning is even better: 1.4m from the south-southwest, light cross-off wind, and clean lines. Moderate wave energy (806). A solid, fun session for intermediates.
Monday the 31st is a real standout. Morning has 1.4m of southwest swell with offshore wind—clean. But the afternoon? Glassy. 1.3m south-southwest swell with a 14-second period and moderate energy (1142). Smooth, lined up, perfect for a log. Get out there.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning gets strong offshore wind from the north at 25 km/h and 1.4m swell with a very long 16-second period. That groundswell will really work on a point break—clean but tide might be a factor. Afternoon is smaller at 1.1m but still clean.
Wednesday the 2nd keeps it clean: 1.2m southwest swell, light cross-off wind. Nice and easy.
Thursday the 3rd brings 30 km/h offshore winds with 1.6m swell—fast and clean if you can handle the breeze.
Friday the 4th of September afternoon is the big one. 1.9m of southwest swell, 15-second period, clean offshore wind, and heavy wave energy (1671). That’s excellent for experienced surfers—big, powerful, and clean. Don’t sleep on it.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are still rideable but messier with cross-off winds and some rain. Not top shelf but okay.
Tuesday the 8th sees a big spike: 2.5m of southwest swell with a short 10-second period and light cross-shore wind. That’s too big for beginners and dumpy—only for experts.
Quieter from Wednesday the 9th to Thursday the 10th—smaller, cleaner, nothing special.
But Friday the 11th of September morning is another standout. 1.9m south-southwest swell, 16-second period, offshore wind, and huge wave energy (3388). That’s a serious groundswell—perfect for a point break. Powerful, clean, and beautiful. One for the experienced crew.
Saturday the 12th finishes calm: 1.3m and 1.1m swell with offshore winds—clean and gentle.
Top picks: Friday 4th September afternoon and Friday 11th September morning. Crowds are likely at Torquay Point, so paddle out early.
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.
