Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s heading for Tora Point. This is a point break that’s open to the swell and breaks fairly consistently. It’s a good spot for beginners, but when the swell comes in, it can handle some size.

The water temp is 54°F, right around where it should be for this time of year.

The absolute best session is this Saturday afternoon, the 18th of July. We’re looking at a 8ft SSW groundswell with a 22-second period—that’s a very long period groundswell. The combined energy reading is a massive 6172, and with a glassy 3 mph SE breeze, it’s going to be a dream. The wind is blowing offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is expert-level, world-class surf. The crowd factor is rare, so you might have it all to yourself. This is the one to make a plan for.

Sunday the 19th is a step down. Still a 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, but a cross-shore wind keeps it from being great. By the afternoon, the wind goes cross-onshore and it gets choppy.

Monday the 20th has size. The morning is 7ft SSW with onshore wind, but the afternoon jumps to 10ft SSW with a 19-second period. That’s a big, powerful wave, but the onshore wind and a low score mean it’s a tricky one.

Tuesday the 21st offers a cleaner window. The morning has a 7ft SSW swell (15 seconds) with a light offshore wind from the north. It’s clean. The afternoon goes glassy again at 6ft SSW. These are good, clean waves for experienced surfers.

After that, the swell drops off. The rest of the month is mostly small to tiny, with the best being the 31st of July. That morning has a 2ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and a moderate offshore wind—clean but small, with energy only at 464.

The start of August is a write-off. The 1st has a small bump but the wind is on it, and by the 2nd we’ve got a 25 mph cross-onshore gale with rain. Terrible.

So, the clear standout is this Saturday afternoon, the 18th of July. Don’t miss it.

Rusty.
