Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what Tora Point has cookin' for us over the next few weeks.

We're startin' off slow, but there's a real rollercoaster comin'. The water's a touch warmer than average for the time of year, about 56°, so you won't need the thickest rubber for the paddle out.

The first real window pops open on Wednesday the 9th. After a rough start to the week with onshore junk, Wednesday morning shapes up with a clear sky and a light N breeze. There's a little 4ft swell from the east – nothing huge, but it's the first chance to wet a line. Wednesday afternoon gets even better with that NNW offshore wind, 4ft of east swell, and clean conditions. Good fun for a mid-week session, especially if you're learning.

Now, the standout to get excited about is Friday the 11th morning. The swell jumps to a solid 6ft from the south. It's short period – only 7 seconds – but the wind is light and offshore from the northwest, so it'll be glassy clean. The combined energy is up there at 660, which gives it some punch for the point. This is your best early call, no doubt.

Things get real rowdy from the 12th. Saturday the 12th morning brings a big 8ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period. Combined energy jumps over 2100 – that's a lot of power. Wind is cross-offshore, so it's clean, but that's getting too big for your average surfer. By Saturday afternoon, the wind turns onshore and the 10ft swell turns into a choppy mess. Sunday the 13th is a total write-off: 16-20ft of SSW swell and strong cross-onshore winds. That's kite-surfing or tow-in territory, not a paddle session.

The real monster pushes through Monday the 14th. The swell hits 13ft from the south, with a 14-second period and combined energy over 6700. Monday morning offers a brief window of glassy conditions from a light NW breeze, but that's a massive, dangerous swell for this spot. Even the afternoon at 12ft is not a normal day. This is strictly for the big-wave crew.

After that, things settle. Tuesday the 15th morning looks good for experienced surfers: a 7ft southerly groundswell with a 12-second period, and a solid offshore wind from the northwest. Energy is still a strong 1177. That's a proper, clean session if you've got the chops.

The middle of the second week gets messy again with strong winds, but there's one last pulse. Saturday the 19th morning is a good bet for the patient surfer. You've got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 896, and that offshore NW breeze will make for beautiful, lined-up walls at the point. That long period will give you some real push.

Into the final days, Monday the 21st morning offers a small, clean 3ft ENE windswell with a gentle offshore. A log day to finish the run. Most of the second week is average at best, with wind messing things up, so don't expect consistent fun.

Bottom line: your best bets are Friday the 11th morning for a fun, clean size, and Tuesday the 15th morning for the bigger, more powerful stuff. Keep an eye on Monday the 14th if you're a charger, but that's a whole different ballgame.

Rusty.
