Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, and we've got a solid look at what's cookin' for Tora Point over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner at first, but there are some serious pulses of energy on the horizon.

Right now, it’s a bit of a non-starter. The water’s sitting at 53°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing too wild. The first few days are a write-off for decent waves, with small, messy swell and winds that are just cross-off enough to chop things up. You’re looking at a dry spell until Friday the 28th, so save your energy.

The first real glimmer comes in on Friday morning, the 28th of August. We've got clean, moderate offshore winds from the north and a solid 1 yards (5ft) swell from the south. The period is a short 12 seconds, so it'll be a bit sectiony, but it's our first window for a proper paddle. The combined energy is moderate at 613, and with those offshore winds, Tora Point will offer up some clean lines.

Now, hold onto your board, because the end of August and start of September is where it gets interesting.

Monday the 31st of August has a massive 4 yard (13ft) groundswell from the SSW, with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a whopping 4787, but here's the catch: that's *too much* power for this spot. Unless you're an absolute charger, stay on the beach for this one. The wind is nearly glassy in the morning, but the size is just overwhelming for Tora Point.

Tuesday the 1st of September is similar. Another 4 yard (13ft) pulse in the morning (energy 5252), again too big. But keep an eye on the afternoon. The swell drops to 3 yards (10ft) from the south, the wind turns gentle offshore out of the north, and the energy is still a powerful 3055. This is the standout session for experienced surfers. It's still big, but the conditions and direction will line up for some excellent, powerful rides.

After that, the size backs off but stays solid. Thursday the 3rd of September has 3 yards (10ft) of swell in the morning, clean with light cross-off winds and a combined energy of 1789. That's another window for confident surfers. Friday the 4th also has size, with 3 to 3 yards (8 to 8ft) swells, and periods stretch out to 17 and 18 seconds. That long period energy (3317 and 4118) will mean long, waiting sets, but the shape will be incredible on the point. The offshore winds will have the faces looking like glass.

By the second week, it gets weaker. The 8th of September sees a smaller 1.0 yard (3ft) groundswell return with a 14-second period and offshore wind. It's a mere whisper of that earlier energy, at 305. The real highlight in the second week is the 10th of September. Thursday morning pops with a 2 yard (6ft) south swell, clean with a moderate offshore, and combined energy of 1027. This is the best call for the second week: solid, clean, and a great session for anyone who knows their way around a point break.

So, to boil it down: For the experts, the afternoon of Tuesday the 1st of September is your prime target. For most others, the morning of Friday the 28th is a good start, but hold out for the clean 3 yards on Thursday the 3rd of September, or the solid 2 yards on the 10th. Watch out for the 31st of August and 1st of September mornings – that swell is just too heavy. Tora Point handles big swell well, but there's a limit. The crowds here are rare, so you'll have the place mostly to yourself, though the bigger days will bring out the local chargers.

Rusty.
