Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming weeks at Tora Point. This is a beginner-friendly point break that's exposed to the swell, but it gets pretty consistent. The water temp is sitting at about 55°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

The outlook kicks off on Monday, September 14th, but it's a bit of a dud. The swell is a clean 6ft from the S, but a cross-onshore ESE breeze has the surface a bit messy, and the wave energy is moderate (895). Honestly, it's not your day.

Tuesday the 15th is where we start to see a bit of life. The morning brings a drop in swell to 3ft from the SSE, but with a clean N offshore wind, the surface will be clean. Wave energy is still moderate (291). The afternoon stays clean with a 3ft S swell and a cross-offshore NE airflow. It's not huge, but you'll get a few fun ones.

Wednesday the 16th is a write-off. A strong NW wind is howling at 28 mph. The swell is tiny and the energy is weak (99). It's a day for the kite surfers or to just stay home.

Thursday the 17th has some very small surf, about 1ft to 2ft. The morning has a gentle offshore wind so it's clean, but the energy is weak (109). It's surfable if you're desperate, but it's far from good.

Friday the 18th is another day to skip. A S wind at 19 mph has the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell is 6ft but the period is a short 7 seconds, which is a bit of a bounce. Energy is moderate (605), but it's just ugly.

Now, Saturday the 19th is a real gem. The morning is glassy with a 3ft swell from the SSW, and the wave energy is strong (530). The afternoon holds with a clean 3ft SSW swell, and the wind is offshore from the NNW. This is the standout for the first week. Get out there.

Sunday the 20th turns sour again. Light rain and onshore winds make for poor conditions. The swell is there but it's messy.

Now, here's the big news. Monday the 21st is an absolute cracker for those who can handle it. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSW with a very long period of 16 seconds. This is serious groundswell. Wave energy is extremely high (2412). The wind is offshore from the NNW, so the lineup will be clean. This is a stand-out for experienced surfers. That long period means the waves will be powerful, with long waits between sets. It's one of the best on offer. Tuesday the 22nd still has some size, but the wind turns onshore, so it's a bit messy. The swell is 10ft from the SSW, that's a big wave for a point break.

Wednesday the 23rd is simply too big. We're looking at 15ft from the SSW. The wave energy is massive (5832). Even though the wind is light, the sheer size makes this expert-only territory. For the rest of us, it's a spectator sport.

The following week, starting Monday the 28th, looks promising again with clean conditions and fun chest-high swell. Then, Tuesday the 29th brings another big, clean swell at 7ft from the SSW with a very long period of 15 seconds. Wave energy is very strong (2142) and the wind is light offshore. That's another standout for experienced surfers.

So, for the best bets: the Saturday the 19th for a clean, fun day, and the Monday the 21st for the big, powerful, expert-level session. The long-range standouts on the 29th are promising, but we'll keep a loose eye on that.

Rusty.
