The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening around Torre over the next couple of weeks.
We got a very short burst of good surf right at the start. The first recommendation is Friday morning, 28 August. That’s the real standout – a 6ft swell out of the WNW with a 10-second period, pumping in with 780 units of energy – that’s solid, moderate to strong power. Wind is dead calm, glassy from the north at 0 mph, so it’s gonna be as clean as it gets. Water temp is 68°, just about average for this time of year. This is the session to aim for, but the 6ft size will be a handful for beginners. The surface will be smooth, the waves will have shape.
Friday afternoon the 28th, the swell drops to 6ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, but the wind switches to NW at 12 mph and goes cross-offshore. Energy drops to 672 – still moderate, but the quality slips to marginal, and tide might mess with it. Stick to the morning.
From Saturday 29 August all the way through the end of the 16-day window, the surf flatlines. That’s a 13-day stretch of nothing. Swell heights bounce between a tiny 0.3ft and 2ft, periods are all over, but energy numbers are mostly in the single or low double digits – a couple hit 70, but there’s just not enough swell to make it worthwhile. A few glassy mornings (like Saturday 5 September and Monday 7 September) but with only 1ft to 1ft of swell, you’re looking at lake conditions. The waves are too small to ride.
So the call is simple: Friday morning the 28th is your only real window – clean, fun groundswell with perfect winds. After that, it’s a long flat spell. Nothing else stands out. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a one-morning show.
Rusty.

Information about the Torre Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Torre provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Torre can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Torre 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 (Torre) 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 Torre 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.
Torre is 1 km (1 miles) from Carcavelos. If you plan a holiday in Lisboa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Carcavelos. Carcavelos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
