Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Imperial version

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Tora Point’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, don’t bother paddling out Tuesday morning the 14th – we’ve got a weak 2ft swell from the ENE, short 6‑second period, and a fresh 22 mph offshore wind that might look clean but the energy’s only 74 – barely a ripple. That flat spell hangs around through Wednesday and Thursday, with nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. The water sits at 54°, pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Things finally get interesting on Friday the 17th. Overnight a proper SSW groundswell rolls in, and by Friday morning we’re looking at 7ft at 14 seconds with glassy conditions – wind goes completely calm. The energy jumps to 2572 – that’s proper grunt. Friday afternoon it even bumps up to 8ft and still glassy, energy 3777. Now, that size is strictly for the experienced crew – beginners stay on the sand. Tora’s a point break, so that long‑period SSW groundswell will wrap in nicely, giving clean, lined‑up waves. Crowds are rare here, so you might have it nearly to yourself. This is the standout of the entire forecast.

Saturday morning the 18th stays solid: 5ft from the ESE at 14 seconds, light NNW offshore at 3 mph, energy 1127. Still excellent for experienced surfers, but a step down from Friday. Saturday afternoon gets a southerly onshore, so morning is the move.

Sunday the 19th is messy – cross‑onshore winds and a dropping swell. Monday the 20th morning brings back clean conditions: 6ft SSW swell, 15‑second period, light north offshore at 6 mph, energy 1590 – another excellent window for experienced surfers. Tuesday the 21st morning is similar: 5ft SSW, 17 seconds, light offshore, energy 1522. Both those mornings are well worth an early alarm.

After that, the swell tapers but stays rideable into the second week. Wednesday the 22nd morning offers 4ft SSW at 15 seconds, light offshore, energy 669 – good clean waves for a broader range. Thursday the 23rd is smaller, down to 2ft, but still offshore winds. Then there’s a bit of a lull Friday and Saturday the 24th‑25th with ENE swell building but cross‑offshore winds and marginal conditions.

Now, check out Sunday the 26th: a punchy 10ft ENE swell at 12 seconds rolls in, energy 2317 – that’s solid, but again only for experts. Winds are cross‑offshore, so not glassy, but still clean enough. The following days get blown out by strong SSW winds, so that Sunday is the last real highlight. After that, the forecast gets messy, though Wednesday the 29th afternoon might offer a brief window with a 7ft SW swell and light cross‑offshore – but it’s a week and a half out, so take it with a grain of salt.

Bottom line: if you’re an experienced surfer, Friday the 17th is your day – glassy, solid SSW groundswell, and hardly anyone around. Monday and Tuesday mornings the following week are also very solid. For the rest of us, the first good clean swell you can get on is Saturday morning the 18th or Wednesday the 22nd.

Rusty.
