Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at the Tora Point surf forecast. Tora Point is a point break, and it’s a fairly consistent spot, exposed to swell. Right now, the water’s sitting at about 55°F, which is pretty average for the time of year.

First up, we’ve got a rough patch to get through. The first week of the forecast is a write-off, honestly. From Tuesday the 7th through to Friday the 11th, it’s onshore slop, strong winds, and rain. The swell is there, but it’s messy. Swell heights are between 7ft and 16ft, but with that wind, it’s just lumpy, choppy, and poor. The combined energy is high, hitting 1858 and even 6425 (moderate to very strong wave energy), but it’s all wasted. Forget about it.

Then we get a little hope on Saturday the 11th. The afternoon shows a bit of a drop, with 3ft on a long 17 second period, and the wind swings onshore but very light. It’s still marginal, but the tide might be a factor. The combined energy drops to 1177 (moderate energy).

Now, Sunday the 12th is where it gets interesting. The morning is looking clean with a light offshore breeze from the NNW, and we’re seeing 3ft of swell from the SSW, with a 14 second period. That’s a long period groundswell, and at a point break like Tora Point, that’s a good thing. The combined energy is 708 (moderate energy). It’s clean, it’s glassy, and it’s the best we’ve seen so far. I’d call this the standout for the first week. It’s a very small, clean wave, but it’s worth a look for the longboard.

Monday the 13th is okay, with 3ft and a light offshore in the morning, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s less punchy. The energy is low at 201. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

The middle of the week, Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th, are small and windy, with fresh offshore winds that make it clean but tiny (2ft to 2ft). Not much to ride.

Looking further out, Thursday the 16th looks promising. We’ve got 5ft from the ESE with a 14 second period, light winds, and clean conditions. The combined energy is 790 (moderate energy). That’s a nice, clean, long period swell for Tora Point. Definitely the best option for the second week, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

After that, it gets ugly again. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th bring strong southerly winds and big, messy swell (12ft to 18ft, with combined energy hitting 9100 – very strong). That’s too big and too windy for Tora Point.

Then, on Sunday the 19th, the swell is still too big at 13ft, even with light winds. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.

Finally, Monday the 20th shows a drop in size to 8ft from the S, with a 9 second period, and a light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 1878 (moderate to strong energy). The forecast says this is excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a solid call, but remember, it’s over two weeks away.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The standout is Sunday the 12th for a small, clean wave. The long-range look is at Thursday the 16th, but it’s a wait-and-see.
