Tora Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what Tora Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’re looking at a bit of a slow start. The early days are pretty flat and messy, nothing really worth paddling out for until we get into next week. But hang tight, because there’s a proper window of quality surf coming.

The standout period is Tuesday the 28th of July and Wednesday the 29th of July. Tuesday morning kicks off with a clean 6 ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a nice, long-period groundswell, and with a light offshore breeze from the NNW, the conditions will be glassy and lined up. The afternoon goes one better with glassy conditions (3 mph from the east) and the same 6 ft ESE swell. This is prime Tora Point stuff – long, clean waves, perfect for experienced surfers. The combined wave energy is strong, sitting at (1738) and (1326) respectively. Wednesday holds similar quality, with a 6 ft ESE swell and light cross-offshore winds keeping the face clean all day. The energy stays up at (1097) in the morning. If you’ve got a window, that Tuesday-Wednesday block is the pick of the whole forecast.

Looking further ahead, the first of August (Saturday) shows a punchy 8 ft easterly swell with a period of 9 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind in the morning. Conditions will be clean and solid, but the shorter period means it’ll be a bit more crumbly and sectiony than the long-period stuff. The energy is high at (1109). That afternoon gets a bit big and windy, so go early.

The following week has some interesting moments. On Tuesday the 5th of August, we see another solid run of surf with a 7 ft southerly swell (10 seconds) and a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (1074). That afternoon and Wednesday keep the quality with clean 6 ft to 7 ft southerly swells. Tora Point likes a south-east to south swell, and the wind looks good, so this late-period surf is promising, though we’re over a week out so keep an eye on the forecasts.

As for the water temp, it’s about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

To sum it up: the first few days are a write-off. Don’t bother until the 28th and 29th of July – that’s your best bet. The first weekend of August has potential but needs a bit of luck with the wind. After that, the second week holds some more solid, clean south swells, but we’ll see how it firms up.

Rusty.
