Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tora Point over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so straight up, this spot is a point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, with a rare crowd. The water is sitting at 55°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but a nice little anomaly.

The first half of the week is a real mixed bag. Sunday the 6th has some small 2ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period, and a fresh offshore breeze keeping things clean. The energy is weak (270), so it’s pretty small, but the conditions are tidy. Monday the 7th looks like a write-off with onshore wind and messy 7ft SE windswell – not worth the paddle. Tuesday the 8th is similar, with 7ft ESE swell and onshore breeze, just marginal stuff.

Wednesday the 9th is a bit of a breather. The swell drops to 4ft from the ESE, period is a short 8 seconds, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean. The energy is moderate (287). Not a standout, but a solid morning session for the keen.

Thursday the 10th is tiny, with 2ft swell and weak energy (50), so that’s out.

Now, Friday the 11th morning is where things start to get interesting. A 6ft SSW swell, moderate offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 892 – solid. The period is short at 7 seconds, but it should be clean and fun. The afternoon gets messy with a strong breeze.

Saturday the 12th morning is very nice. Clean 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, gentle offshore breeze, and energy at 556. That’s a real good window for a point break like this, especially with the long period giving shape.

Now, Sunday the 13th – this is a massive spike. It’s 21ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the energy is at 20490 – that’s extreme. The wind is light and clean, but it’s just too big. This is only for experienced, confident surfers and even then, it’s pushing limits. Monday the 14th is still huge at 12ft, then drops to 8ft in the afternoon. That afternoon could be okay for strong paddlers, but it’s still big.

The week after that, from the 15th onward, it’s a mix of manageable but not amazing. Tuesday the 15th morning has 5ft S swell with a fresh offshore, but the energy is moderate (505). The afternoon gets too windy. Wednesday the 16th has 8ft S swell with a short 9-second period and light cross-shore wind – marginal. Thursday the 17th is small and clean but not much power.

Friday the 18th afternoon is a real highlight for the second week. 7ft SSW swell, 10-second period, gentle offshore breeze, and energy at 1808. That’s clean and solid, and the note says excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to aim for if you’ve got the skills.

The rest of the run into the 21st is mostly blown out or too small, with strong winds and dropping swell.

So, the standout sessions are Friday the 11th morning and Saturday the 12th morning for the first week – clean, moderate swell, and good energy. For the second week, lock in Friday the 18th afternoon. That’s the pick of the 16 days. The big stuff on the 13th and 14th is only for the brave.

Rusty.
