Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Tora Point over the next couple of weeks.

The opening days are firing with a serious dose of Southern Ocean groundswell. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th kick things off in style. Friday morning has a solid 6ft S swell with a long 15-second period, packing a heap of energy (2253). With a light NNW offshore breeze, it's going to be clean and powerful. This is serious wave energy, and at that size, it's strictly for the experienced crew. The afternoon holds similar quality with 7ft S swell, still offshore, and still a strong energy reading (1839). Saturday morning drops a little to a very respectable 5ft S swell (722 energy), still with that clean offshore flow from the NNW. It's still got good punch from an 11-second period. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so your wettie won't feel out of place.

After that solid start, things quieten down a fair bit. Sunday the 9th offers a smaller 4ft SSE swell Sunday afternoon with a long 13-second period and light offshore NW wind, giving you a clean option. Monday the 10th morning turns tiny and glassy with a 3ft SSE swell, but very weak energy (145). You'll get a wave, but it's ordinary. From Monday arvo through until Thursday the 14th morning, it's mostly small, weak, and plagued by poor wind directions. There's a noticeable gap of ordinary to poor conditions for several days.

The next real standout shows up on Friday the 14th morning. A new pulse arrives, 7ft from the ENE with an 8-second period and moderate energy (886). The wind goes cross-off from the NNE, making it clean. That's a solid jump in size again, so it's back into expert territory.

Looking further ahead, we have a couple of promising, but less certain, standouts. On Tuesday the 19th, the swell is predicted to be a big 10ft from the SSE with a solid 10-second period and a massive energy reading (2055). Wednesday the 20th morning continues the trend with a 10ft SSE swell and a glassy calm wind in the afternoon. These are big numbers, but we're over a week out, so treat it as a promising prospect rather than a dead cert. It's also worth noting that later on the 18th and 19th, the forecast suggests the swell might actually get too big for this break, so it’s one to watch carefully.

Overall, the first weekend is the top pick – Friday and Saturday of the 7th and 8th are the clear standouts with quality, powerful, clean S groundswell. The second week offers some big, clean potential around the 19th, but it's a long-range call.

Stay safe out there.
