Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers. Rusty here.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Tora Point, starting this Friday morning. The pattern is looking good, with a few standout sessions and a nice mix of swell sizes for the experienced crew.

The water temp is sitting at 55°F right now, which is about average for the time of year, so no major surprises there.

The first proper call is Friday morning, July 17th. We’re looking at a clean 4ft groundswell from the ESE with a long 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is pumping at a strong 1304, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is a proper standout.

Saturday morning, July 18th, is another beauty. Offshore winds from the NNW at just 3 mph, with a 4ft ESE swell, period of 14 seconds. Clean, glassy conditions. The energy is still strong at 1345. This is a top pick.

Then we get a bit of a wildcard on Saturday afternoon, July 18th. There’s a massive 8ft SSW swell with an incredibly long 22-second period, and the energy is off the charts at 6614. But the wind is onshore, making it marginal. That long period groundswell is prone to breaking straight at a beach break, so at a point break like Tora Point, it could be a freight train. This is for experts only.

Sunday morning, July 19th, offers another clean session with a 7ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and a cross-offshore wind. The energy is very strong (2901). Excellent surf for the experienced.

Monday morning, July 20th, is a good one. Glassy conditions, a 6ft SSW swell, and a 14-second period. Clean waves with very strong energy (1491). A solid option.

Tuesday, July 21st, has clean conditions all day. A 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period in the morning, and both sessions are rated excellent for experienced surfers.

After that, the overall size and quality takes a step down for the rest of the week. There are still some clean, surfable days, like Wednesday morning, July 22nd, with a 5ft swell and clean conditions, and Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, with glassy conditions and a 4ft swell. The energy drops to moderate levels.

The following week shows a big gap. From Friday, July 24th, through to Sunday, July 26th, there are periods of very small surf or conditions that are simply too big or too messy. Sunday, July 26th, sees an 12ft SSW swell, which is way too big for this break.

The next real standout appears on Monday morning, July 27th. A clean 8ft S swell with a 12-second period, a gentle offshore breeze, and very strong energy (2079). This is another excellent call for the experienced crew.

Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, also looks good with a moderate offshore wind and a 6ft SSW swell, offering clean conditions.

The last few days of the month fade out with smaller, wind-affected swell, so the best bets are firmly on the first weekend and the following Monday.

Rusty.
