Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya from the edge of the lineup. Let’s get into what’s on the table for Tora Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat we’ve got a run of clean, offshore surf kicking things off. The first recommendation is for Saturday morning, 4th of July. The conditions are looking prime with a light 4ft easterly swell, glassy with a gentle offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy is solid at 504 (moderate), and the water temp is about average for this time of year, which is what you’d expect around here. The period is a nice 12 seconds, so there’s some proper groundswell push behind it – perfect for a point break like this. Being fairly consistent and rarely crowded, you’ll have plenty of room to find your line.

The standout of the whole window has got to be Saturday afternoon. That 5ft swell from the east-northeast with a 1018 combined energy reading (strong) and clean 11-second period – it’s got punch and shape. Light offshore winds are holding, making for excellent conditions. That said, it’s pushing into expert territory at that size, so if you’re still finding your feet, maybe stick to the smaller morning session.

Sunday morning (5th July) is still very good – 4ft from the east-northeast, moderate offshore breeze, and a combined energy of 374 (moderate). It’s a tick down in period to 9 seconds, so the waves will be a bit more sectiony, but still plenty of fun. Sunday afternoon sees the swell drop to 3ft with an 8-second period, and it’s still clean with a gentle offshore.

Now, hold onto your board, because after Sunday things get grim. From Monday 6th July through to the end of that week, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at onshore winds, rain, and lumpy cross-chop. On Monday afternoon the swell jumps to 10ft, but that’s accompanied by a 20 km/h cross-shore and a combined energy of 1819 (strong) – it’s a mess. The wind just keeps howling from the south and southeast, with Thursday and Friday seeing 15ft waves and massive energy readings over 4000, but with fresh cross-onshore winds and rain driving into it. That’s not for paddling; that’s kite territory if anything.

We finally clear the garbage by the following Sunday, 12th July. After a marginal morning, Sunday afternoon turns on the magic: glassy conditions, 7ft from the east-southeast with a 10-second period, combined energy of 1334 (strong). For the experienced surfer, that’s an excellent session waiting to happen.

Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th July are clean and organised – morning offshores, 6ft and then 5ft swells, with combined energy in the 700-900 range (moderate-strong). The 11-second period on Tuesday is a nice touch, offering some long lines through the point. This looks like a fun, consistent block of surf.

The rest of the second week, from Wednesday 15th July to Saturday 18th July, is a mixed bag. The mornings are worth it: light offshores, 4ft to 3ft swells, with combined energy around 250-388 (weak to moderate). By the afternoons, especially from Thursday onward, the wind swings around from the south again, bringing poor conditions. Friday and Saturday, 17th-18th July, turn nasty again with 8ft to 12ft onshore slop and strong winds.

Sunday 19th July closes out the run with strong cross-onshore winds and 10ft messy surf – nothing to get excited about there.

So, bottom line: the absolute best bets are this Saturday afternoon (4th July) for the bigger, clean lines, and next Sunday afternoon (12th July) for the glassy, more manageable 7ft. Everything else in between is either flat calm or blown out. Stay patient, pick your windows, and don’t bother paddling into that midweek mess.

Rusty.
