G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Torquay Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow start, but there are some proper standouts if you’re patient.

We get going on Tuesday, 7 July with a glassy morning – dead calm, not a breath of wind. The swell’s a clean 4ft from the SW, with a long 17-second period that’ll wrap nicely into the point. The combined energy is moderate (677), and the water’s at 58°, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s a lovely start, but the session’s short-lived; by Tuesday afternoon, a light SE breeze kicks in onshore and the tide gets tricky, so it’s a morning-only call.

Wednesday, 8 July sees a jump in size – 4ft in the morning, but a cross-shore wind messes with the surface. By the afternoon, it’s 5ft and cross-onshore, so it’s messy. The energy’s strong (1294-1447), but the wind’s not doing us any favours.

Thursday, 9 July brings a glassy morning again, with a smaller 3ft SW swell – clean and fun for the intermediates. Afternoon turns cross-shore, so it’s a morning window. Friday, 10 July is a ripper: offshore NNW wind in the morning, glassy by the afternoon, with 3ft and 3ft SW swell. Clean, tidy, and all yours.

Now, Saturday, 11 July and Sunday, 12 July are a write-off. The wind’s howling offshore at 15-19 mph, but the swell drops to 2ft then picks up to 5ft – the conditions are ordinary, and the scores are flat. Just a gap of two days where you’re better off on land.

The real standout comes Monday, 13 July. We’ve got a solid 8ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 16-second period. The combined energy is massive (3692). That’s expert-only territory – too big for beginners. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it’ll be lined up and powerful. This is the best on offer, no question. It holds through Tuesday, 14 July at 6ft, still clean and cross-off. Wednesday, 15 July drops to 5ft, and the morning’s glassy – another very good session.

Thursday, 16 July is a mixed bag: morning clean at 4ft, but the afternoon gets cross-onshore. Friday, 17 July is a beauty: offshore NW wind in the morning, 5ft SW groundswell, clean and very good. The afternoon’s cross-off and still fun.

Then we hit a lull. Saturday, 18 July through Monday, 20 July has small, weak swell (2ft to 5ft) and strong winds – just ordinary, surfable waves for the die-hards.

The big one is a week and a half away. On Tuesday, 22 July, we’re looking at a massive 13ft SW swell with a 15-second period. The combined energy is a whopping 10701 – that’s extreme. This is for experts only, and only if you’re ready for a heavy, powerful point break. The wind’s cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but it’s raw. Wednesday, 22 July afternoon drops to 10ft, still huge. This is a long-range standout, so keep an eye on it – it’s promising but not locked in yet.

So, overall, the best bet is Monday, 13 July for the big, clean groundswell, and Tuesday, 22 July for the absolute monster if you’ve got the skill. The point handles the long-period SW swell beautifully, so expect long, grinding walls.

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.

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.
