Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the goods for Tora Point. It’s a point break that’s fairly consistent and beginner-friendly when the conditions line up, but we’ve got a real mixed bag over the next 16 days. Water temps are sitting at 12°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The window kicks off this Tuesday morning and the story is size. We’ve got a massive 13 ft SSW swell rolling in with a combined energy of 4001 – that’s serious power. It’s way too big for most, even if the wind is moderate cross-shore. This is big-wave territory, and the guidance says it’s too big for this break. That size hangs around through Tuesday afternoon with a 13 ft SSW swell and 5583 energy, cross-on breeze. Not the day for a paddle.

Wednesday the 2nd drops a notch, but we’re still looking at 8 ft to 10 ft SSW swell. The wind turns cross-off from the NW, which cleans it up, but the forecast calls it marginal. The period is a long 14 to 15 seconds, so there’s real groundswell in the water – that’s better for the point setup than a beach break, but it’s still a solid size. Keep an eye on it if you’re experienced.

Now, Thursday the 3rd, the swell drops to 4 ft SSW, period 12 seconds, energy 524. The wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-off from the NW, so it’s clean but the quality is low. Thursday afternoon is even smaller, 3 ft from the S, and the score is a zero. We hit a real lull here.

Friday the 4th is a write-off with tiny leftover swell and strong offshore winds. Saturday the 5th is the first real standout. Morning brings a 3 ft SSW swell, 12-second period, 293 energy, and a gentle offshore from the NW. The wind is 15 km/h, clean, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your clean little point session with small, rideable waves. Saturday afternoon is even lighter with 4 ft and light offshore.

Sunday the 6th is small and not worth it, and Monday the 7th gets blown out by a near-gale SW wind. Tuesday the 8th repeats the massive 13 ft SSW swell story – too big for comfort.

Then Wednesday the 9th is a cracker. Morning shows 7 ft SSW swell, 10-second period, 820 energy, and a gentle offshore from the north. The wind is only 15 km/h, clean, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is another standout: solid size, clean, offshore wind, and it’s a point break. That’s a great combination. The afternoon gets hammered by strong offshore winds, so get in early.

Thursday the 10th is a nice small clean day with 4 ft, light offshore, 250 energy. Friday the 11th is also small and clean in the morning. By Saturday the 12th, we’ve got a real treat: 3 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s very long period groundswell, energy 657. Moderate offshore from the NW. The wave shape will be nice and lined up for the point, but those long gaps between sets will make it easier to paddle out. Sunday the 13th is a write-off.

Monday the 14th we’re back to 10 ft SSW swell, 10-second period, 3197 energy, and fresh cross-off wind. It’s clean but it’s big again. If you’re an expert, it could be worth a look, but it’s marginal. The 15th and 16th fade out with onshore wind and small, messy surf.

So, the best on offer? Saturday the 5th is your small, clean, beginner-friendly day. The real standout is Wednesday the 9th morning – that 7 ft SSW with offshore wind and good energy is the pick of the period. Saturday the 12th is a bonus for the long-period groundswell lovers.

Keep in mind that the long-range call for Saturday the 12th is promising but less certain. The near-term calls for Tuesday and Wednesday are solid.

Rusty.
