Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Tora Point. The whole window’s got a bit of a slow burn, then a proper pulse, so we’ll need to be patient.

The first half of the week is a write-off. Monday and Tuesday are a mess – rain, onshore wind, and weak, choppy surf. The water temp is around 56°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it through the cross-on breeze.

We finally get a clean window Wednesday morning. The wind goes light and cross-off, the sea glassing off through the afternoon. Swell is small, only 4ft to 4ft from the east, but it’s clean with a moderate combined energy (241). It’s a fun little session for the beginner to intermediate crew, but it’s not the standout.

Thursday and Friday morning are tiny, but Friday afternoon is where it starts to get interesting. The wind swings offshore from the northwest, 12 mph, and that south-southwest groundswell starts to push through. At 3ft with a long 18-second period, the energy is already building (503). It’s clean, and it’s a sign of things to come.

Now, the real standout. Saturday, September 12th, morning is the one to circle. The wind is light offshore from the northwest, absolutely glassy. The swell is a solid 5ft from the south-southwest, with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is 1355 – that’s a serious push of power. This is a point break, and that long-period groundswell is exactly what it wants. The crowds are rare here, so you should have it mostly to yourself. This is a clean, powerful, and very high-quality session. It’s big enough to be a handful for beginners though.

Sunday morning, September 13th, is also a top contender. It’s glassy, the swell is 8ft from the same direction, and the energy is massive at 3388. That’s expert territory. The waves will be big, powerful, and long-period. If you’ve got the skills, this is a world-class morning.

The following week has some decent pulses, but nothing that matches that Saturday-Sunday peak. The 14th has a solid 7ft swell with offshore wind, and the 22nd sees a brief spike of long-period energy (20 seconds, 1297), but the wind is uncertain. By the second week, the consistency drops off, and the wind gets messy again towards the end. It’s a case of hitting that first weekend hard.

Signing off, Rusty.
