Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at a solid run of swell for Tora Point. We’ve got a bit of a rough start, but the second half of the week and beyond is where it really turns on.

The first couple of days are a write-off. Wednesday the 5th is a total mess with 30 km/h cross-onshore winds and a big, lumpy 13ft swell. Not worth paddling out. Thursday the 6th drops down to 6ft, but the wind is still cross-shore, making it marginal. Forget it.

The real action kicks off on Friday the 7th. Friday morning is a beauty – a 5ft south swell with a 15-second period rolling in, and a gentle offshore wind from the north. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The energy is strong, reading 1555, and the conditions are clean. This is a standout session for experienced surfers, as the long period will make for some proper, lined-up waves at this point break. The afternoon holds up with a similar 6ft swell and moderate offshore wind.

Saturday the 8th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is a bit junky with a cross-offshore wind, but the afternoon cleans right up. A 5ft south swell with a light offshore wind from the north-northwest will provide some very good, clean waves. This is the pick of the weekend.

Sunday the 9th is a drop-off day. The swell fades to 4ft, and while the afternoon has a strong offshore wind, it’s so strong (40 km/h) that it’ll be hard to paddle into. The morning is a cross-offshore mess with rain.

Monday the 10th is another day to skip. A fresh cross-shore wind and a short-period 7ft swell from the south-southwest will make for lumpy, poor conditions.

Tuesday the 11th is a bit better. A 5ft south-southeast swell with a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

The middle of the week from Wednesday the 12th to Thursday the 13th is small. The swell drops to 4ft, but Thursday the 13th morning is glassy with a 4ft east swell. If you’re desperate for a longboard, it’s rideable, but the energy is weak at 216.

Now, Friday the 14th is a serious return of size. The morning sees a 7ft east swell, clean with a light cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 550. This is a good one for experienced surfers, but by the afternoon, it jumps to 10ft and gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind.

Saturday the 15th is a solid all-rounder. A clean 6ft south-southeast swell with light wind and a score of 577. Good conditions for a fun session.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are poor again. Onshore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. The swell is there but the quality is gone.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the week after. Tuesday the 18th morning is clean with a 6ft south-southwest swell and a light offshore wind. The energy is strong at 853. But the absolute best is Wednesday the 19th. Both the morning and afternoon have a solid 8ft south-southwest swell, a very long 10-second period, and clean conditions with barely a breath of wind. This is expert territory, with powerful, long-period groundswell. The energy is massive, hitting 1552 in the morning. Thursday the 20th morning is equally impressive, with a 8ft south swell and a clean offshore wind, with energy at 2274. This is the best window of the entire 16-day run. Just know that it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it looks absolutely pumping.
