Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’ve had a look at what’s coming up for Tora Point over the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you – the opening act is a shocker. We’re talking strong southerly winds, solid 16ft to 12ft swell, and just raw, messy conditions through Thursday and Friday. Nothing for a paddle surfer there; that’s more for the kites if anything.

Things start to clean up a bit by Saturday the 11th. The morning still has a bit of onshore wind, but the swell has dropped to 6ft, and by the afternoon it’s coming from the SSW with a very long period of 17 seconds, though only 4ft high. It’ll be a bit slow and lined up, but the wind goes light onshore. It’s a bit marginal, but you could get a sneaky one.

Now, Sunday the 12th is where it gets interesting. We wake up to clear skies, a light offshore wind from the NNW, and a clean 3ft SSW swell – combined energy sitting at 488. That’s not huge, but with that long period (13 seconds) and offshore flow, Tora Point will be clean and working. The afternoon holds up too with a cross-offshore breeze. This is a solid pick for a beginner-friendly surf. Crowds are rare here, so you’ll have some space.

Monday the 13th is smaller again, dropping to 2ft, and the north offshore wind stays gentle. You might get a waist-high wave, but it’s pretty ordinary. Definitely a low-energy day (168 combined energy).

We then hit a real quiet patch. Tuesday through to the middle of the next week is mostly tiny or onshore junk. A few mornings have clean conditions, but the swell is just too small to bother getting wet for.

Keep an eye on Thursday the 16th, though. That morning shapes up nicely: a 3ft ESE swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, combined energy of 508, and a light offshore from the NNW. The wind is clean, and it’ll be a proper glassy session – just be aware the swell direction is a little off for the optimum SSE at Tora Point, but the quality is still very good. That’s my first standout.

Then look further ahead to Friday the 24th. That morning is looking like the real gem of this whole outlook. We get a 6ft ENE groundswell, period of 12 seconds, combined energy of 910, and light offshore NE winds. That is clean, consistent, and with that longer period, you’ll get some nice shaped waves peeling down the point. It’s the best on offer, but it’s a long way out – promising but not locked in just yet.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a steamer just yet.

So if you want a score, go for Sunday the 12th morning for a clean, small day, or get your hopes up for Friday the 24th morning which could be a ripper.

Rusty.
