The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Torquay Point. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but you’ll need to pick your moments. The first proper swell hits this Saturday afternoon, but it’s a bit messy with a cross-shore wind and a ton of energy – that's 9104 units of combined energy, a real heavy hitter. The water’s sitting at 56°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Saturday afternoon (22 August) sees a 13ft SW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross and it’s a bit lumpy. Not the best call for a clean session.
Sunday the 23rd is your standout for the first week. Sunday morning is where it’s at: a clean 5ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and light offshore NW wind at 6 mph. The energy is still decent at 1218. It’s going to be clean, lined-up, and perfect for an intermediate. The afternoon holds up too, with a 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze – excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
Monday the 24th drops off to smaller 4ft SSW swell with clean conditions, but it’s a bit marginal. Tuesday and Wednesday look pretty average with onshore winds and poor conditions.
We’ve got a bit of a dry spell mid-week, but things fire up again on Sunday the 30th. That morning looks absolutely pumping: a 6ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period and light offshore WNW wind at 3 mph. That’s 3046 units of energy, very clean, and perfect for the point. This is expert territory though – that swell will have plenty of push.
Monday the 31st is also a cracker – 6ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a 9 mph NW offshore wind. Clean and powerful, another one for the experienced crew.
There’s a bit of a lull mid-week, but by Thursday the 3rd of September we get a massive spike: an 12ft SW swell with a 13-second period and a cross-offshore wind. That’s 4758 units of energy – huge and powerful, but only for the brave. The following days have more solid SW swell in the 7ft range, but the winds get a bit messy.
Overall, the best windows are Sunday the 23rd morning for clean, fun waves, and Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st for bigger, more powerful conditions. Keep an eye on the forecast – the second week has some real potential but it’s a bit further out so less certain.
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.
