Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shapin’ up at Tora Point. The water temp is around 55°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no surprises there.

We’ve got a slow start. Wednesday the 16th is a complete bust – a strong offshore wind blowin’ at 25 mph with a tiny 1ft swell. The energy is weak (100). You’d be wastin’ your time.

Thursday the 17th is a little better. A gentle offshore breeze and a clean 2ft swell from the ESE, but it’s still ordinary. Energy is low (122). Surfable, but nothin’ to write home about.

Friday the 18th is a dud with onshore winds and a marginal 3ft swell.

Now, Saturday the 19th is where it starts to get interestin’. A clean 3ft groundswell from the SSW, 14-second period, with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNW. Energy is moderate (525). That’s a solid combo for a point break – nice, long lines.

Sunday the 20th is a washout. The swell jumps to 8ft in the morning and 12ft in the arvo, but it’s short-period junk with a strong cross-onshore wind at 25 mph. High energy (816-2242), but it’s messy and lumpy. Better for kite-surfing.

Here’s the best of the lot. Monday the 21st is your day. We’ve got a solid 10ft groundswell from the SSW, with an 11-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NNW at just 6 mph. The energy is strong (2234). That’s clean, powerful, and perfect for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops to 7ft with a moderate offshore – still clean. Don’t miss this one.

Tuesday the 22nd is a step down. Morning is small, but the afternoon has 6ft and clean conditions – a fun, sneaky session.

Wednesday the 23rd is odd. The morning has a very long-period 18-second groundswell at 2ft, glassy and clean, but that long period might make it a bit straight. At a point, it’s fine. Energy is moderate (385).

Thursday the 24th is onshore slop with 10ft of junk. Skip it.

Another beauty is Friday the 25th. The morning is dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft groundswell from the SSW and a 17-second period. The energy is strong (1219). That’s long, clean, and powerful – a dream session for the point. This is your second-best bet.

The last week is patchy. Saturday the 26th is messy, Sunday the 27th is glassy but weak. The highlight is Monday the 28th afternoon, with a clean 6ft SSW groundswell at 13 seconds and light wind – strong energy (1136) for experienced surfers.

Lookin’ further out, Wednesday the 30th morning has another big 10ft S swell at 10 seconds with a moderate offshore – very strong energy (2081). That’s another expert-only day, but it’s a long way out.

So, the Monday the 21st is your top pick, with Friday the 25th runnin’ a close second. The rest is a bit of a gamble. Stay patient and pick your windows.

Rusty.
