The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the outlook for Torquay Point in feet and Fahrenheit.
The start of the run is pretty average, but there's a big payoff waiting if you've got the patience for the second week.
Friday the 14th kicks off with some solid 7ft swell from the southwest, a real long 15-second period, and a ton of energy (2088), but the wind is blowing straight out of the southwest, putting a nasty cross-shore on it. Not worth it. Through the weekend, it drops down to 4-5ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds and the energy fading fast.
We hit a dry spell from Monday the 17th to Thursday the 20th – waves mostly under 3ft and weak energy. The only moment of calm is Thursday afternoon with zero wind and glassy water, but the swell is only 2ft and energy is weak (161). Nothing to get excited about.
Friday the 21st shows a little life. Still small at 2ft, but the wind is cross-offshore from the west, the surface is clean, and the energy is starting to climb (284). A hopeful sign.
Now, the big one. Monday the 24th of August is your day. The morning brings a solid 8ft SW swell with a nice 16-second period and massive energy (3775). The wind is light from the north-northeast, glassing it up. The afternoon goes totally glassy (8ft, 3333 energy). This is top-tier surf for experienced surfers – that size, that period, and glassy conditions on a point break? That’s the stuff. The west-southwest swell direction is perfect for how this spot sets up.
Sunday the 23rd morning is a nice little appetizer with 4ft and clean cross-off winds. Tuesday the 25th morning is still solid at 5ft and clean, but after that the swell packs up and the last week of August is mostly tiny, weak, and poor.
The water temp is about 56°F, which is normal for the season here – no strange anomaly, just your standard winter chill.
So here’s the bottom line: the first week is a dud. The one real standout is Monday the 24th of August – that’s the session to aim for. Don't waste your time on the small stuff.
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.
