Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get down to business. We're looking at a bit of a mixed bag for the local stretch, so let's break it down.

Overall, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty small for Torrance Beach/Burn Out. We've got a long period swell, but it's just not packing much punch. Most days are going to be a struggle to find a rideable wave, with a lot of onshore wind messing things up. There is one real standout that's worth circling on your calendar, but you'll have to be patient.

The week kicks off small and messy. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are write-offs with onshore winds and tiny surf. Sunday the 5th through Tuesday the 8th stay small, but the big news is Wednesday morning, the 8th. That's your best bet. We'll see a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a nice 16-second period. The wind will be light and cross-offshore, making for some clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy will be moderate (507), so there's enough there to get a few fun ones. It's a beginner-friendly size, so it's a good day for everyone, but you can expect crowds likely, as this is the clear highlight of the outlook.

After that, things go back to being marginal. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offer moments of clean surf in the mornings, but the swell is still small. Saturday the 11th has a decent morning with a 2ft SSW swell and clean cross-offshore winds, which could be worth a look.

Then we hit a real quiet spell. From Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 18th, it's mostly flat. Swell drops to 1-1ft with weak wave energy, barely climbing above the 100 mark. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. For a stretch there, you're better off leaving the board in the car. The 14th and 16th of July have some clean but very small, weak swell, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The end of the outlook on Saturday the 18th shows a tiny pulse of 2ft swell from the SW, but it looks marginal at best.

This is one of those periods where patience is the name of the game. That Wednesday the 8th morning is your one good window.

Rusty.

Information about the Torrance Beach/Burn Out Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Torrance Beach/Burn Out provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Torrance Beach/Burn Out can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Torrance Beach/Burn Out 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 (Torrance Beach/Burn Out) 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 Torrance Beach/Burn Out 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.
