Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty coming to you live with the outlook for Tora Point. It’s a point break that’s exposed to swell and works best when the swell is coming out of the SSE. The water temp is about 54°, which is pretty much average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The next week and a half or so is going to be a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a few days of small, weak surf to start. That first proper window that gets my attention is Thursday the 16th of July. The afternoon sees a light westerly breeze cleaning up a 2ft swell coming from the ESE with a period of 16 seconds – that’s some long-period groundswell. The combined energy is a moderate 298, and it’s being called “good surf conditions.” It’s not a standout for the period, just a nice, clean little session.

Now, the real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Friday the 17th of July. Get ready for this. Friday morning is glassy – absolutely dead calm – with a 7ft swell from the SSW and a long 14-second period. The combined energy is ripping at 2740, which is strong. Friday afternoon is even chunkier, with 8ft from the same SSW direction, clean cross-offshore breeze, and energy up to 3135. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only. At that size, it’s too much for beginners, and with a long period, it’ll be powerful. This is the best on offer, hands down.

Saturday the 18th of July keeps the energy going with a clean, offshore morning. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the ESE, period still a good 14 seconds, and energy at 1059. That’s another excellent session for those who know what they’re doing.

The surf then drops off and gets a bit messy with cross-onshore winds for a few days. There’s another little blip on Monday the 27th of July. That morning is clean with a very light offshore, and a 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The energy is 665, making it a very good, clean option. This is a promising one, but we’re two weeks out, so take that with a pinch of salt.

Then, on Tuesday the 28th of July, we get another late contender. The morning sees a 5ft swell from the ENE with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 1125. It’s clean with a light offshore. That’s excellent for experienced surfers again.

The rest of the window is mostly small or onshore, nothing to write home about.

The crowds at Tora Point are rare, which is a massive bonus. Keep in mind that when that long-period swell hits on Friday, it can make a point break really stand up and offer some of the best waves in the area.

Signing off, Rusty.
