Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for our little corner of the coast. It's been a bit quiet to start, but don't let that fool you – there's some serious energy building for later in the week and beyond.

We've got a bit of a lull right now. Sunday the 23rd is a write-off with a nasty 31 mph cross-offshore wind and a weak, messy 2ft swell. Just not worth paddling out. Hang tight.

The real action kicks off on Monday the 24th of August. Monday morning is looking like the first proper standout of the period. Tora Point is going to be pumping with a solid 8ft swell from the SSW, and that's being driven by a massive 13-second period. The combined wave energy is right up there at 2219 – that's some serious power. And get this: the wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. This is proper groundswell for experienced surfers only; it's going to be big and powerful. The water's sitting at 52°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Tuesday the 25th is a step down in size but still has some juice. The morning sees a 4ft SSW swell, but the wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the NW at 19 mph. It's rideable, but not as clean as Monday.

Wednesday the 26th is a sneaky good day. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. The wind is light, just 6 mph from the north, keeping it clean. The energy is moderate at 625, but the long period means there'll be some beautiful, lined-up waves with nice long waits between sets. A good day for a point break like this.

Thursday the 27th is another absolute standout. The swell jumps back up to 6ft in the morning, building to 7ft in the afternoon, still from the SSW. The period is a stunning 17 seconds – about as long and clean as it gets. The combined energy is a massive 2855 by the afternoon. And the wind? Light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. This is the best day on offer for experienced surfers. Big, powerful, and glassy.

Friday the 28th is a bit of a comedown. The swell is a more manageable 5ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph from the NNW. It's still offshore, but it'll be a bit of a battle paddling out.

The first week of September is looking promising but a bit more mixed. Monday the 31st of August has a clean 7ft swell from the SSW with light offshore winds – a good, solid day. But the real highlight for the second week looks to be Tuesday the 1st of September. We've got a 5ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, clean offshore winds from the NNW, and a combined energy of 1019. It's still a few days out, so it's promising but not locked in yet. That long period groundswell will be a treat at Tora Point.

After that, things get a bit messy. The wind turns onshore and the quality drops. But hold on for the 6th and 7th of September – Sunday and Monday. The swell is small, only 2 to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy. It'll be tiny and clean, perfect for a longboard or a foiler. A nice way to end the outlook.

Rusty.
