Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tora Point.

Alright, the pattern coming up is a bit of a slow starter, then it builds into some serious size. The first few days are pretty quiet, but hang in there because the back half of this run has some real moments.

We kick off with Sunday morning, 6th September. Tora Point is seeing a small 2ft SSW swell, with a very long 17s period. That’s groundswell, but it’s weak with only 270 combined energy. The wind is cross-off from the NW at 22 mph, which keeps it clean, but the wave state is just poor. Not worth rushing out for.

Monday, 7th September, turns ugly. A 7ft south swell hits, but the period drops to 7s, and it’s onshore from the SSE at 19 mph. That’s a messy, choppy combo. Not your day.

Tuesday, 8th September, the morning offers a little relief. A 4ft ESE swell, period still short at 7s, but the wind goes light from the NE at 6 mph, cross-off. The combined energy is 214, moderate. It’s clean, but the shape won’t be anything special. A small session for the patient.

Wednesday, 9th September, is the first real nod. Clear skies, wind from the N at 6 mph, cross-off. Swell is 4ft from the east, period 9s, energy 221. The afternoon gets even better: NNW offshore at 9 mph, 4ft east swell, 8s period, 249 energy. Clean and gentle. Not a standout, but a solid morning session.

Now, a big gap appears. Thursday, 10th September, is a write-off with tiny 2ft swell. Then Friday, 11th September, morning sees a jump: 6ft SSW swell, period 7s, but the wind is offshore from the NW at 6 mph. The combined energy is 835 – moderate. The forecast says very good conditions. This is a nice little window for a point break like Tora Point. The short period means it’ll be a bit sectiony, but clean and fun.

Saturday, 12th September, is messy with cross-onshore winds. Skip it.

Now, here’s where it gets serious. Sunday, 13th September, is the first big standout. The swell jumps to 13ft from the SSW, with a 12s period. The combined energy is massive at 3992. The wind is cross-off from the WNW at 16 mph, and the report says it’s clean. But here’s the thing: 13ft is huge. This is expert-only territory. The break is a point, so the long-period groundswell will set up well, but it’s going to be a beast. For the experienced crew, this is a morning to remember.

Monday, 14th September, is another absolute cracker. The morning is 12ft from the south, 13s period, energy 4115, with a light offshore from the NNW at 3 mph. That’s big and clean. But the afternoon is the real jewel: 10ft south swell, 13s period, ENE wind at 3 mph, and it’s glassy. The report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best of the run. If you’re good enough, this is your session.

Tuesday, 15th September, settles down a bit. 6ft south swell, 12s period, 1013 energy, with a light cross-off from the NNE at 3 mph. Clean. The afternoon goes glassy with 6ft. Very good conditions.

Wednesday, 16th September, holds at 6ft south swell, 11s period, but the wind gets strong offshore from the NW at 25 mph in the afternoon. Clean, but hard to paddle into.

Thursday, 17th September, gets lumpy with cross-shore wind. Not great.

Friday, 18th September, brings back the goods. Morning: 8ft SSE swell, 10s period, NNW offshore at 9 mph, energy 1054. Excellent for experienced surfers. Clean and punchy.

Saturday, 19th September, goes huge again. 12ft SSW swell, 10s period, energy 2621, with offshore NW wind at 22 mph. That’s big and clean, but again, expert only.

Sunday, 20th September, is a nice drop back to 5ft south swell, 9s period, 522 energy, with a light offshore from the NW at 6 mph. Clean and very good.

Monday, 21st September, fades to 4ft with a strong offshore wind making paddling tough.

The water temperature anomaly is average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Overall, the two standout sessions are Sunday, 13th September (13ft, clean, expert only) and Monday, 14th September afternoon (10ft, glassy, excellent for experienced surfers). Those are the ones to circle on the calendar.

This is Rusty, signing off.
