The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Torquay Point.
We've got a solid run of surf on the cards, starting from this Sunday morning. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Alright, let's kick things off. Sunday morning is looking clean with a 5ft SSW swell, a period of 13 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The wave energy is moderate, around 795. It's a decent start, but the surf is fairly consistent here and the sets will be clean. Sunday arvo the wind swings onshore and it gets a bit choppy, so get in early.
Monday is a beauty. Both morning and afternoon are clean, with the morning seeing a light offshore from the NW and the afternoon turning glassy. The swell sits at 5ft from the SW, with a period of 14 to 15 seconds. The energy builds through the day, hitting 1161 in the arvo. This is a standout day for the keen surfer.
Tuesday gets a bit wild with a fresh 19 mph breeze, but it's cross-off in the morning and offshore in the arvo, keeping the waves clean. The swell drops to 3-4ft, and the energy is moderate. It's surfable, but you'll be working for it.
Now, Wednesday afternoon is where things get interesting. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SW, with a 15-second period, and the energy is strong at 1351. The wind is a moderate offshore, and the conditions are clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The morning is a bit smaller at 4ft, but still clean.
Thursday morning is a write-off with rain and a moderate cross-off, but Thursday afternoon… hold on to your board. We've got a 13ft SW swell, 13-second period, and the energy is pumping at 6992. That's a big one. The wind is a cross-off, so it's clean, but this is for experts only. Too big for anyone else.
Friday morning is another cracker for experienced surfers. A 7ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a gentle offshore from the NNW. The energy is strong at 2338. Friday arvo drops a bit to 6ft, but still clean.
From Saturday the 5th through to the end of the period, we've got a steady run of 3ft to 5ft SW swells, mostly clean, with good winds. The energy is moderate to strong. It's a consistent, reliable stretch for the intermediate surfer.
The absolute standout? I'd say Thursday afternoon's 13ft swell is a monster for experts, but for the best all-round quality, Monday afternoon's glassy 5ft surf is hard to beat. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
Rusty out.

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.
