Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down what’s cooking at Tora Point. This is a point break that’s beginner-friendly, breaks fairly often, and you’ll barely ever see a crowd. It likes swell from the SSE and is fully open to it.

The first few days are a bit of a dud. Saturday the 11th is a no-go: a weak, short-period east swell of about 5 ft, cross-on south wind, and the combined energy is only moderate (1026). It’s choppy and not worth the drive.

Sunday the 12th is a nice little turn. The morning goes clean with a light offshore northwesterly wind and a clean 3 ft SSW swell at 13 seconds. The energy climbs to 451 (moderate), and it’s offshore. The afternoon holds with a 3 ft SSW swell at 12 seconds, cross-off northerly, and energy at 585. That’s your best bet for the early days—clean, small, and empty.

Monday the 13th is back to tiny—2 ft and mixed, with a cross-off wind. Not worth it. Tuesday and Wednesday the 14th and 15th are flat-out poor—tiny swell, fresh offshore winds, and energy under 100. Nothing happening.

Thursday the 16th turns glassy. Still small at 2 ft, but the swell is a solid 14 seconds from the ESE, and the energy is moderate (215). It’s a glassy, mellow session.

Now Friday the 17th is where it gets real. A 4 ft to 4 ft ESE groundswell with a very long 15-second period, and the wind is light offshore. The energy is 689 to 749. That’s clean, with real power, and the offshore wind will keep the walls smooth. That’s a standout.

Saturday the 18th—watch out. The morning has an 8 ft SSW swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a closeout. The wind is glassy, and the energy is very strong (1478). That’s for experts only. The afternoon is too big—15 ft SSW at 11 seconds, with an extreme energy of 7562. That’s kite-surf territory, not paddle.

Sunday the 19th is still monstrous. The morning has a 13 ft south swell at 15 seconds—very long period—and a light offshore. The energy is 6850. That’s a beast for experts. The afternoon drops to 10 ft at 14 seconds, glassy, and the energy is 4256. Still only for the brave.

The rest of the week from the 20th to the 24th is messy—cross-onshore winds and moderate swell, nothing clean. The next standout is Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th. Friday the 25th morning has a 7 ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, cross-off wind, and strong energy (1053). The morning of the 26th is the real prize: a 10 ft ENE swell at 11 seconds, with a fresh offshore north wind, and the energy is a massive 3897. That’s a clean, powerful, expert day. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 8 ft, but still clean.

So, mark your calendar for Friday the 17th for a fun, clean groundswell, and the morning of Saturday the 26th for a big, offshore, expert session. The water temp is about 55°F, which is normal for this time of year.
