Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tora Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, things are a bit slow. The surf is small and the energy just isn't there for a proper session. But don't lose hope, because there’s a real beauty of a swell lining up for the end of the week that’s going to make it all worthwhile.

We’ve got a bit of a wait for the good stuff. The first few days are pretty flat or just too weak to get excited about. On Monday afternoon, the 13th of July, we’re looking at a clean 2ft swell from the SSW with a 13-second period, but the overall energy is only moderate (218). It’s rideable, but it’s not going to get your heart pounding.

Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off. The wind is howling offshore, making it hard to even paddle into the little waves that are there. The swell drops right off, with energy readings in the low double digits. It’s a frustrating stretch.

Thursday the 16th starts to show a pulse, with the afternoon bringing a lovely 2ft, 15-second groundswell from the ESE. The energy jumps to 278 and the wind goes gentle offshore, so it’s clean. Still small, but it’s a sign of life.

Now, here’s the standout. Friday morning, the 17th of July. This is the one. The swell is pumping at 7ft from the SSW, with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2551, and with a light cross-offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and powerful. This is a proper groundswell, and it’s going to be perfect for a point break like Tora Point. This one is for the experienced crew – 7ft is a solid step up, and the long period means there’ll be some serious power in the water. The break is exposed, so it’s going to be handling that energy beautifully. Crowds are rare here, so you might get a few gems to yourself.

Saturday the 18th is still looking good. The morning session has a clean 5ft ESE swell, with a 14-second period and 1027 energy. The NNW offshore breeze is light, so it’ll be glassy. A fantastic option for a follow-up session if you’re still buzzing from Friday.

The second week gets a bit mixed. Sunday the 19th sees a big, long-period SSW swell roll in, but the wind turns cross-onshore and makes it choppy. It’s a case of big energy (5678 on Sunday afternoon) but messy conditions. That’s one for the windsurfers or kites, to be honest.

Monday the 20th has another excellent morning call for experienced surfers: an 8ft S swell with a 15-second period and 2881 energy, but it’s a clean cross-offshore wind again. That’s a proper session if you’ve got the skill.

The rest of the week settles down. There are some good clean mornings with 5ft to 4ft swells, especially on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, with offshore winds keeping things tidy. The mornings are the time to go. The 24th of July offers a glassy 3ft SSW swell, which is a lovely, mellow option for a sunrise paddle. The 25th looks clean too, with a 5ft ESE swell.

The very end of the 16-day window, around the 26th and 27th, gets a little messy again with onshore winds and chop, before the 28th of July finishes with a glassy 4ft ESE swell. So, a bit of a mixed bag in the second week, but there are solid windows of clean, surfable waves, especially in the mornings.

Best bet for this whole forecast? Lock in Friday the 17th of July. It’s the real standout.

Rusty.
