The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down in feet and knots for the crew that thinks that way.
Water temp is about 57°F – dead average for now, no drama.
The real headline is Friday 17 July. We get a solid 5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the energy is pumping hard. Wind is a light offshore from the NNW at 6 knots – clean as a whistle. This is for experienced surfers – the power is real. Friday afternoon stays clean at just under 5ft.
Saturday 18 July drops to 3ft in the morning with a clean offshore – still a fun wave, but smaller. Saturday afternoon goes glassy with tiny 2-3ft waves – a lounge chair session.
Sunday 19 July through Wednesday 22 July is a quiet stretch – waves around 2ft to 3ft, clean but nothing exciting.
Thursday 23 July brings a nice pulse – 5ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period and wave energy jumping. Clean cross-off wind makes it very good. This is the start of the next good spell.
Friday 24 July gets bigger – 7ft in the morning, building to a chunky 11-12ft in the afternoon. The wind picks up, and quality drops. That afternoon is for experts only.
Saturday 25 July is the standout of the second week – offshore NW wind at 12 knots, clean, 4-5ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period. Good energy. This is your go-to session for the following week.
Sunday through Monday stays around 4-5ft with clean conditions, then Tuesday 28 July brings the biggest – 8ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period and massive energy. Offshore NNW wind at 15 knots keeps it clean on top, but that’s a heavy, long-period swell. Only for the experienced, and the paddle out will test you.
Wednesday 29 July gets blown out, and the rest of the run into August is either small or messy.
Best bets: Friday 17 July morning for the first quality clean surf, and Tuesday 28 July morning for the big, clean, heavy groundswell – that’s the one to circle, but it’s a serious wave.

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.
