Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for Tora Point. Let's get straight into it, no messing around.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a few days of small, choppy junk to start with before a really nice window of clean, solid groundswell opens up. The standout sessions are definitely for the experienced crew, with some proper size on the cards.

The water temp is sitting at 12°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a write-off. The 24th has tiny 0.2m onshore junk, and it's not much better through the 25th and 26th with light rain and cross-onshore winds messing up what little swell there is.

Monday the 27th stays poor, but the afternoon sees a bit more size, pushing 1.6m, though the wind is still cross-on. The energy is starting to build, though it's still moderate at 940. It's still a no-go for a paddle.

Now, here's the good stuff. Tuesday the 28th morning is the real standout. The swell is a solid 1.9m from the ESE with a nice 13-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1346). More importantly, the wind is a clean offshore from the NNW, barely a breath. For a point break like Tora Point, this is prime. The setup is clean, the waves will have shape, and with the longer period, the sets will be well-spaced. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and the crowds are rarely a problem here.

Wednesday the 29th morning is still very good, with the swell dropping slightly to 1.6m but holding that ESE groundswell and a clean offshore wind. The energy is still strong (958). It's a great follow-up session.

The 30th and 31st see the swell drop right back and the wind turning onshore again, so things get messy through the end of the week.

Then, on Saturday the 1st of August, we get another clean window. The morning and afternoon both have a clean 1.6m S swell and light offshore winds from the NNW. The energy is strong (921). Another very good day.

Sunday the 2nd of August is a glassy morning with a smaller 1.2m S swell. It's a perfect day for a beginner or a longboard, with calm conditions.

After a windy, choppy Monday and Tuesday, the forecast gets really interesting for the second week. The 6th, 7th, and 8th of August have a solid 2.0m to 2.2m E swell pumping in with a 12-second period. The energy is very strong (over 1400). The mornings are all forecast to have light offshore winds, making for excellent, powerful surf. This is expert territory with that size, but if you know what you're doing, those mornings are the real prize in the long-range outlook. The afternoon winds do swing onshore a bit, but those clean morning windows are absolute gold.

All in all, lock in the 28th and 29th of July, and keep an eye on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of August. The rest you can sleep in for.

Rusty.
