Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards for Tora Point, starting right now and stretching through the 16-day window. It’s a point break, exposed to the south, so when the conditions align, it’s a beauty.

We kick off with a bang on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning brings a clean 8ft swell from the south with a nice 11-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore, making for some excellent, powerful surf. The combined energy is pumping at 1571 (moderate). Then Sunday afternoon goes glassy, with a 6ft south swell and that same long period. It’s going to be a classic day if you’ve got the skills, as this size is more for the experienced crew.

Monday the 3rd backs off a touch, but it’s still clean. The morning has a 4ft SSW swell with a very long 13-second period, making for nice, lined-up waves. The wind is light cross-off, and the energy is 769 (moderate). It’s a great option for the competent surfer. The afternoon is offshore with a 5ft SSW swell, still clean and workable.

Tuesday the 4th is a write-off. A huge 18ft SSW swell smashes in, but it’s accompanied by a strong 28 mph cross-onshore wind. The energy is a massive 9610 (very strong), but it’s pure chaos. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Wednesday the 5th is still messy with a dropping 12ft swell and cross-onshore winds, so we’ll skip that.

Now, here’s a standout. Thursday the 6th of August, the swell drops to a clean 6ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period. The wind is light cross-off again, and the combined energy is 1226 (moderate). It’s clean, it’s manageable, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is a window of opportunity.

Friday the 7th is another big day. The morning serves up an 8ft south swell with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to 4858 (strong), and the wind is light cross-off. This is a true groundswell, and on a point break like Tora Point, it’s going to produce some serious, long walls. A real standout for the experienced surfer. The afternoon gets too big at 12ft and the wind goes cross-on, so stick to the morning.

Saturday the 8th is a glassy morning with a 8ft south swell, 12-second period, and energy at 1645 (moderate). The winds are a flat calm, so you’ll be surfing in a mirror. This is another top pick for the weekend.

The following week sees a change in direction. From Sunday the 9th through to the 16th, the swell is from the SSE and ENE, generally smaller, with the cleanest windows being the mornings. Monday the 10th has a glassy 6ft morning, and the 12th and 13th of August bring clean cross-off winds with ENE swell around 6ft to 7ft. The 14th of August has clean offshore winds in the morning with a 5ft ENE swell. The last call on the 17th of August is a late standout: an 8ft south swell with a short 8-second period, but with light offshore winds and clean conditions for the experts.

Rusty.
