Magna Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking.

First up, this spot is a heavy reef break, so it’s advanced territory only. We’ve got a slow start, but things build into a proper campaign. The water temp is pretty much where you’d expect for this time of year, so no shock to the system.

The first real chance to get wet is Tuesday morning, July 14. The swell is a clean 6 ft from the ESE with a 9-second period and glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm, so it’s going to be slick. Combined energy is moderate (560). Not a huge day, but a very clean start.

Wednesday morning, July 15, looks tidy too. Swell drops to 4 ft from the east, period at 9 seconds, and we’ve got light offshore wind from the WNW. Combined energy is weak (260). It’s clean and small, a good session for getting the rust off.

Now, the standout. Thursday morning, July 16, is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 10 ft groundswell from the SW, with a very long period of 14 seconds. Glassy conditions, light offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (3342). This is expert territory – the size is over 8 ft, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. The long period means it’ll be powerful and lined up, but at a reef break, that’s a good thing. This is your best bet of the whole run.

Friday morning, July 17, keeps the size at 10 ft from the SW, but the wind gets up to 16 mph, making it a bit bumpy. It’s a solid option, but not as clean as Thursday. The afternoon cleans up a bit with lighter wind.

There’s a rough patch from Saturday, July 18, through Monday, July 20, with strong cross-onshore winds and poor quality. Skip it.

We get a bit of a reprieve on Sunday morning, July 19, with a 4 ft SW groundswell and 6 mph offshore wind. Long period at 14 seconds, clean. Combined energy is moderate (1105). A nice little reset.

Looking further out, the week of July 22 brings consistent but sizeable SW swell. Thursday morning, July 23, sees a massive 13 ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, with moderate cross-offshore wind. Combined energy is extreme (5961). This is big, powerful, and for experts only. The wind is manageable, but the size is intimidating.

The next clear standout is Saturday morning, July 25. We’ve got an 12 ft SW groundswell, period 12 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is very strong (3649). This is a clean, heavy day for experienced surfers.

Then Monday morning, July 27, is the final big call. A 13 ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, glassy. Combined energy is extreme (6336). This is exceptional for expert surfers – clean, powerful, and serious.

Overall, Thursday July 16 and Saturday July 25 are the top picks. The long period swells will be wrapping nicely into this reef, and the glassy mornings will be clean as a whistle. No crowds reported, but a spot like this doesn’t stay empty for long when it’s good.

Rusty.
