The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Torquay Point’s got lined up for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a classic run of South-West groundswell, with a few golden windows if you time it right.

It kicks off slow. Tuesday the 1st is flat and average – a 4ft SW groundswell with a cross-off breeze, energy is weak at 749, and it’s only marginal. Not worth the effort. Wednesday the 2nd looks much better. Morning swell is 5ft from the SW, a solid 16-second period, and with a gentle WNW breeze it’s clean. The energy’s up to 1065, moderate but punchy, and it’s calling for “very good surf conditions”. That afternoon cleans up even more with a gentle offshore. That’s a solid day.

Thursday the 3rd brings a big pulse of power, but you gotta respect it. The morning hits 13ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and the energy is massive at 7401. That’s strong to very strong energy, and for a point break, it’s going to be a monster. Experts only – way too big for beginners. The wind is a fresh westerly at 30 km/h (19 mph), cross-off, so it’ll be clean but heavy. The afternoon backs off to 8ft, still substantial, still marginal due to the size.

Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th stick in the 7ft to 8ft range, but the winds are strong – hitting 40 km/h (25 mph) on Saturday morning, making things messy. Sunday the 6th is where it shines. Morning brings a 6ft SW swell (16 seconds) with a gentle offshore from the NW. Energy is 1787, moderate-strong, and it’s rated “excellent for experienced surfers”. That’s your top pick for the first week. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

Monday the 7th is a dud – tiny 2ft swell, poor conditions. Then Tuesday the 8th rebuilds, but it’s big again. The afternoon sees a 10ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period, blowing that long period energy right into the point. Energy hits 5410. That’s a proper groundswell, perfect for the point, but expert territory only. Wind is moderate cross-off, clean.

Wednesday the 9th through Friday the 11th offers excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Swells are 6ft to 8ft from the SW/SSW, periods 16-17 seconds, with light to gentle breezes. Friday the 11th is a standout – morning brings a 7ft SW groundswell (17 seconds) with a light offshore, energy at 2430, and it’s “excellent”. That afternoon is also excellent with a gentle offshore, 6ft and 16 seconds. That’s back-to-back quality.

The second weekend (Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th) drops to 4ft, then 3ft on Sunday morning, still with clean offshore winds. Decent for a small-wave session, but nothing exciting. From Monday 14th, it’s a write-off – strong cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and poor conditions through the rest of the window.

So here’s the bottom line: your best bets are Sunday the 6th (morning) – that 6ft SW groundswell with a gentle offshore is a gem. And Friday the 11th all day – that 7ft to 6ft SW groundswell with clean offshores is as good as it gets. Torquay Point gets busy, so expect a crowd when it’s firing. Get in 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.
