Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the only game in town for this forecast period: Tora Point.

The next couple of days are a bit of a non-event. Tuesday afternoon offers some small 5ft east swell but the cross-on wind makes it pretty average – not worth paddling out for. Wednesday cleans up nicely with a light cross-off breeze and 5ft to 4ft east swell, but the numbers are still low; it’s a gentle re-entry into the water rather than a standout.

Thursday sees the swell drop right off. Morning has a tiny 2ft pulse with strong wind and the afternoon brings a raw 1ft southerly with rain. Definitely a day to leave the board at home.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 11th morning rolls in with a long period 3ft SSW groundswell at 18 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NNW and light. That’s clean, lined-up, and juicy for a point break. Combined energy is 522 – moderate, but the quality is high. This is a proper glassy, wave-hunting window.

Saturday the 12th is the true standout of the entire period. Saturday afternoon delivers a 8ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with glassy conditions, light airs, and zero wind. This is the big one – combined energy hits 3229 (strong). That’s a crowd-friendly spot with rare crowds anyway, and an exposed point setup with an optimum swell direction from SSE – and this is coming from the SSW, which will wrap in beautifully. For experienced surfers, this is the session of the forecast. Beginners should sit this one out – too much power.

Sunday morning the 13th holds onto that energy – 8ft SSW at 15 seconds, clean with a light cross-off. Still excellent for experienced crew. Sunday afternoon gets a bit messier with cross-shore wind and a drop in period. Monday the 14th is still solid – morning has 6ft SSW at 13 seconds, clean, with light wind. Afternoon goes glassy on 6ft. Good, but not the peak.

A late pulse on Wednesday the 16th afternoon brings 6ft SW at 8 seconds – short period, but clean. Then Thursday the 17th gets wild: 13ft SSW at 11 seconds in the morning and 12ft in the afternoon. That’s way too big for Tora Point – expert-only and even then, a serious mission. Combined energy is 4660 (very strong). By Saturday the 19th, the wind gets up to 28 mph, making things messy.

After that, the swell fades into small, weak surf through to the end of the window. A brief clean 4ft SSW on Monday the 21st morning is worth a look if you’re desperate, but the real action is locked in around Friday the 11th through Monday the 14th.

The water is a touch warmer than average for the time of year at 56°F – so not a shock to the system.

One final word: the long period swells here (15–18 seconds) will wrap beautifully around Tora Point, making for long, peeling lines. The standouts are Saturday the 12th afternoon and Sunday the 13th morning – don’t miss them.

Rusty.
