Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The only game in town for the next couple of weeks is Tora Point, so let's see what it's got for us.

The week kicks off with some solid, clean conditions. Friday morning, the 21st of August, we've got a south swell pushing around 6 feet with a solid period, and the water's at about 53°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The wind is light out of the NNE, coming cross-off, so the lineup should be tidy. There's a heap of energy in the water, so expect some punch. This is for experienced surfers though; it'll be a handful.

Friday afternoon drops a touch to about 5 feet, still clean and with great shape. Good fun to be had.

But the real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 24th of August. Get ready. We’ve got a 10-foot SSW groundswell rolling in early with a 13-second period. The combined energy is massive. Light north wind, offshore and clean. This is big, powerful surf – experts only. Then in the afternoon, it backs off a touch to around 8 feet, and the wind goes glassy. Absolutely pristine. That afternoon session is a dream scenario for a point break that likes a bit of size.

Tuesday the 25th is still very good, with a 4-foot SSW swell and a cracking 15-second period in the afternoon – that long-period energy gives the waves some serious push and shape.

After that, we hit a bit of a rough patch. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are messy with strong winds on Wednesday, and then some rain and onshore flow on Thursday. Thursday afternoon does see another 8-foot SSW swell, but the onshore wind will chop it up.

We get a brief return to clean surf on Friday the 28th with a 5-foot south swell and offshore north wind. Nothing huge, but clean lines.

Then there's a real mixed bag for the start of September. A 7-foot SSW swell on Monday the 31st of August, but with a cross-onshore wind, so it'll be bumpy. There's a couple of decent days on the 1st of September with swells around 5 feet and clean conditions, but the wind comes from the east later that week, ruining the surface.

The end of the run on Friday the 4th of September shows some promise with a 5-foot south swell and glassy conditions in the afternoon. It won't have the size of the earlier week, but it could be a fun, clean session.

So, if you're looking for the best, it's without a doubt Monday the 24th of August. The morning for the power, the afternoon for the perfection. Get it while it's good.

Rusty.
