The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Torquay Point in feet and degrees.
The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. The next couple of weeks have some serious SW groundswell lined up, but the wind is going to be the deciding factor.
The best early call is Friday morning, 17 July. We’ve got an offshore NW breeze, light, and a clean 5ft swell from the SW with a long 16-second period. The energy is strong. That’s a classic point break groundswell – good shape, plenty of power, and those long lulls make it easier to get out. That’s the one to get excited about.
The big one, though, is Friday, 24 July. That’s a week and a half out, so it’s a long-range promise, but it looks like a beauty. Both morning and afternoon show a solid 7ft SW swell with that same 16-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore to cross-off from the WNW. The energy is pumping, well over 2000. This is for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners. If the forecast holds, that’s the best of the entire run.
Before that, the week of Monday 20 July gets small and ordinary, with waves dropping under 3ft for a few days. Wednesday 23 July and Thursday 24 July have some size, but the wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’ll be lumpy.
The end of the month, from Sunday 26 July, gets messy. Sunday afternoon has a big 8ft swell, but it’s cross-on and choppy – that’s more kite surfing territory. Monday morning, 27 July, cleans up a bit with a 6ft SSW swell and light cross-off wind, but it’s not the same quality.
So, here’s the plan: Friday morning, 17 July, for clean, offshore waves. And keep Friday, 24 July, on your radar for a bigger, more powerful session if the forecast plays out. The rest is a mix of small and onshore.

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.
