Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real promise hiding in the second half of the forecast for Tora Point. The first few days are nothing to write home about, but hang tight—there’s a couple of sessions that could be absolute crackers.

We kick off on Wednesday, 9th September. Tora Point is a point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to swell, with an optimum swell direction from SSE. Water temp is sitting at 55.9°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing wild, but you’ll notice it’s a bit more comfortable. Wednesday morning brings a clean 4.6ft swell from the east, period 8 seconds, with a light cross-off NNE breeze at 6 mph. The combined energy is weak (317), so don’t expect much push, but it’s clean enough for a beginner-friendly paddle. The afternoon drops to 4.3ft, still clean, but the swell direction and period aren’t giving you much to work with.

Thursday, 10th September, is pretty average. Morning sees a messy 2.3ft from ESE with a fresh 19 mph cross-off wind—clean but small and weak (73 energy). The afternoon goes downhill fast: 1.0ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, but a fresh cross-onshore wind makes it lumpy and poor. Not worth paddling out.

Then Friday, 11th September, is where things start to get interesting. The morning is a standout: 2.6ft of SSW groundswell, period 18 seconds, with a gentle offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph. The combined energy is strong (558) for the size, and that offshore wind will have it glassy and clean. For a point break, that long period is a dream—shaped waves, more energy, and longer lulls. It’s a rare treat for a beginner-friendly spot, though the long period might make it a bit tricky for the groms to catch at first. The afternoon gets a moderate cross-off and drops to 2.6ft—still clean, but the wind picks up.

Saturday, 12th September, is a big day but not for everyone. Morning delivers 4.9ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, with a slight onshore breeze. The energy is very strong (1215), but the conditions are questionable. By afternoon, it’s 8.2ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, and the energy is pumping (2763). That’s expert territory—too big for beginners and most intermediates. The cross-onshore wind and size make it a beast.

Sunday, 13th September, stays big. Morning sees 7.9ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, with a light cross breeze. The energy is still strong (2056), but the conditions are marginal. Afternoon holds 7.2ft with a gentle cross-onshore wind—still big and lumpy.

Monday, 14th September, is a real gem. The morning is glassy: 5.2ft from the SSW, period 12 seconds, with a slight north wind and no breeze. The energy is strong (811), and it’s clean as a whistle. This is the best on offer in the first week—perfect for a solid session, though the swell is a bit much for absolute beginners. The afternoon drops to 4.9ft, but the onshore wind makes it tricky.

Tuesday, 15th September, is smaller but still decent. Morning has 3.3ft from the south, period 11 seconds, with a cross-off NW breeze at 9 mph. Clean and fun. Afternoon gets blown out by a fresh 19 mph wind.

Wednesday, 16th September, is a write-off. Small, weak, and messy with strong winds.

Now, here’s the second week: Thursday, 17th September, morning has 4.6ft from the SSW, period 13 seconds, with a moderate cross-off wind. Clean, but marginal. The afternoon is better: 3.9ft, period 12 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind—clean and good. Friday, 18th September, is windy but clean. Morning has 3.6ft, period 17 seconds, with a strong cross-off—clean but hard to paddle into. The afternoon is 4.6ft, period 16 seconds, with a strong offshore—clean but just as tough.

Saturday, 19th September, is the standout of the second week. Morning delivers 4.3ft from the SSW, period 13 seconds, with a light offshore NNW breeze. The energy is strong (540), and it’s clean. Afternoon is 3.0ft, period 12 seconds, with the same light offshore—still clean and fun. This is a promising session, but we’re a week and a half out,
