Magna Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' at Magna Tubes.

This is a solid, exposed reef break that’s gonna be picky. It’s for advanced surfers only, and we’ve got a real mix of conditions over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sittin' around average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The week kicks off slowly. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are pretty average with onshore and cross-shore winds, swell around 6ft to 8ft from the east and southeast, and the energy is moderate but the conditions are just marginal. You’d be paddling for chop and wind ripples, not worth getting too excited.

Things start to clean up on Tuesday the 4th. The morning is the pick with a light cross-offshore breeze, swell dropping to 5ft from the southwest, and a nice 12-second period. The energy is moderate (1032), but the surface is clean. It’s a good session for experienced surfers. The wind stays light through the afternoon.

Wednesday the 5th is a bit of a letdown in the morning with cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon gets interesting. A 16-second, 5ft southwest swell rolls in with a moderate breeze (1244 energy). It’s clean, but the swell is small.

Now, Thursday the 6th is where it gets real. The morning is a standout. A solid 12ft southwest swell with a 13-second period, light offshore wind, and the energy is pumping at 4428. The conditions are clean and excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best session on offer. The afternoon stays good with 10ft, but the wind picks up a bit.

Friday the 7th is a write-off. Strong cross-onshore wind and a choppy 8ft swell. Poor conditions.

Saturday the 8th is a wild one. The morning has a clean 7ft swell, but the wind is strong. The afternoon gets absolutely massive with a 21ft southwest swell and a 12-second period—energy is a staggering 12231. This is too big for anyone but the most expert charger, and even then, it’s borderline. Kite surfers might be loving it, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass.

Sunday the 9th is still big, with 13ft in the morning, clean but strong wind. The afternoon turns onshore and messy.

The following week is more of a mixed bag. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are mostly onshore and marginal. Wednesday the 12th has a small, clean 5ft southwest swell with light wind—a nice, easy session for those who are keen.

Thursday the 13th brings a long-period 18-second swell at 7ft, with clean conditions. The energy is solid (4151). This is a promising one, but it’s for the advanced crew.

Friday the 14th has a 8ft swell but cross-shore wind, so it’s a bit messy. Saturday the 15th is another standout: a 12ft southwest swell, light offshore wind, and clean conditions. Energy is at 3009. Excellent for experienced surfers.

Sunday the 16th is a final highlight. The afternoon has a 7ft south swell with a 14-second period, light offshore wind, and clean conditions. Energy is 3388. This is a beautiful way to end the forecast.

So, the one true standout is Thursday the 6th morning. After that, Saturday the 15th morning and Sunday the 16th afternoon are also top-tier. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big for most.

Stay safe out there, and pick your moments.

Rusty.
