Magna Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Magna Tubes has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. This is a proper reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it's an advanced wave, so don't be bringing your foamie.

The chart kicks off with some solid energy straight away on Monday the 27th of July. We're looking at a strong 10ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period, packing some serious punch (4768 on the energy dial). The water is sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than we'd normally expect for this time of year, so you'll want a good spring suit. The wind is a cross-offshore from the WSW, which should keep it clean. For the experienced crew, that's your window. After that, things get messy. A lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind through the rest of the week churns up what would otherwise be a decent swell window. Not worth the paddle until the pattern breaks.

We finally get a solid run starting Sunday morning, August 2nd. The wind swings to a light WSW, cleaning up a 7ft E swell (1261 energy). It's not the biggest, but with clean conditions and that reef shape, it's going to be fun. That carries through to Monday the 3rd, with an absolute gem of a session on the Monday morning. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the NE, a light 5ft E swell rolling in (846 energy). That's the best the first week has to offer for pure quality.

Skip ahead to the standout of the whole outlook. Wednesday, August 5th, has a big 10ft SW groundswell (2084 energy) with light cross-offshore winds in the morning. That is prime for the experts. But the real magic is the Thursday afternoon, August 6th. You get a clean 8ft SW swell with a long 14-second period, glassy cross-offshore wind from the SW, and a massive 3371 energy chunk behind it. That's as good as it gets here.

Then we get to the big one. Friday afternoon, August 7th, is the highlight of the entire two weeks. We’re seeing a beast of a 13ft SW groundswell, 15-second period, absolutely roaring with 9208 energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WSW. This is serious, and not for the faint of heart. For the advanced crew, this is the session to circle on the calendar. It gets a bit wild after that with big onshore winds on the 8th, but the swell energy remains massive through the weekend, dropping back into cleaner conditions by Monday the 10th.

The run continues with clean cross-off winds and solid, manageable swells right through to Tuesday the 11th, wrapping up our window. Magna Tubes is a spot that doesn't stay flat for long, and this run proves it.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
