Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tora Point. This is a classic point break setup that loves a solid SSE swell, and we’ve got plenty of that direction coming through. The water temp is sitting at 53°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, no weird anomalies to worry about.

The week starts off a bit average. Tuesday the 25th kicks things off with a 4ft SSW swell, but it’s got a cross-off wind and the energy is moderate at best (723). It’s surfable, but a bit marginal. Wednesday the 26th is similar, with a little 4ft SSW groundswell that has a long 16-second period, making for some nice lines, but the wind stays cross-off. The surf is clean, but there’s no real punch.

Things start to look more interesting on Thursday the 27th. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps right up to 2721, which is solid. The wind is a light cross-on, though, so it’ll be a little bumpy. Friday the 28th sees a cleaner window with a 5ft S swell and a good offshore breeze from the north. That’s a proper clean-up, and the wave energy is still decent at 622. That’s a window worth looking at.

The standout of this run has to be Saturday the 29th. It’s not the biggest, with the swell dropping to 3ft from the south, but the wind goes completely glassy in the afternoon. That’s going to produce some silky smooth, peelable point break walls. The period is a solid 11 seconds on the S swell, giving it shape, and the energy sits around 212. It’s small, but it’ll be perfect for a longboard or a fish. This is the pick of the first week.

Sunday the 30th goes quiet, with a tiny 2ft windswell and strong cross-off winds, and then Monday the 31st serves up a big but messy 13ft S swell (3403 energy) with a strong cross-on wind. That’s proper heavy and lumpy – one for experts only, and even then, it won’t be pretty. The wind messes it up completely.

We bounce back on Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell is a solid 5ft from the south with a 12-second period, and we get a glassy window in the afternoon. The energy is a good 664, and the wind is dead calm. That’s another top-tier session right there – clean, lined-up, and fairly consistent.

Then we hit a patch of strong winds on the 2nd and 3rd. Wednesday the 2nd has a 6ft SSW swell (1412 energy) but the wind is howling at 31 mph from the NW. That’s more of a kite-surfing day. But hold on, the week after that brings a real gem. Check out Monday the 8th of September – a 7ft S swell with 11-second period, a moderate offshore breeze, and the combined energy hits 1013. The forecast says it’s excellent conditions for experienced surfers, and with that size and clean wind, that’s a proper power session for the crew.

The final few days after that are smaller but clean, with waist-high S swells and offshore breezes. Nothing to write home about, but still a nice way to end the forecast.

So overall, my pick for the best waves is Saturday the 29th of August for the pure glassy beauty, and for a bit more power, Monday the 8th of September for the experienced crew.

Stay salty,
Rusty.
