The Wave
Northwest wind is the clean lane, southwest swell is the main trigger, and high tide on a rising push is the safest read.

Torquay Reef
Torquay Reef is Torquay's very reliable exposed reef break, a flat-rock Torquay lookout wave that can run fast and hollow when the swell builds. It is more serious than the nearby town beach breaks, with rocks, rips, and a crowd when it is on. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Torquay Reef in Victoria.
