Magna Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s shaping up for Magna Tubes over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a decent run of swell coming through, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The first few days are looking pretty clean, then we get a big pulse of energy mid-period that’s going to be solid, but tricky. The real standout here is that glassy morning on Tuesday, August 11th. That’s a long way out, but if it holds, that’s the one to circle on the calendar.

Alright, let’s get into it day by day.

Sunday, August 2nd afternoon – We kick off with a 7.2ft swell from the ESE, period at 12 seconds. The wind is light onshore from the ESE at 6 mph, so the surface won’t be perfect. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Combined energy is 1695 (moderate), but it’s just marginal for the conditions. Not the best way to start.

Monday, August 3rd morning – Now we’re talking. The wind goes glassy from the NNE at 3 mph. Swell drops a touch to 5.9ft, still from the ESE, period 11 seconds. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The combined energy is 1408 (moderate). This is the cleanest session of the early window. The afternoon gets a bit of onshore breeze, so hit the morning.

Tuesday, August 4th morning – The swell shifts to a 4.6ft SW groundswell, period 12 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the north at 9 mph. Combined energy at 1032 (moderate). This is a good, clean option for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets cross-shore, so less ideal.

Wednesday, August 5th morning – Small 4.3ft from the east, 10-second period, with a light cross-offshore from the west. Combined energy 840 (moderate). It’s a smaller, clean session. The afternoon sees a jump in period to 16 seconds from the SW with 5.2ft, but cross-shore wind, so not as clean.

Thursday, August 6th morning – Here we go. Solid 11.5ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, with a light cross-offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph. The combined energy is 4764 (strong). This is big, powerful, and clean for the experts. The afternoon sees the wind pick up a little and get cross-shore, so the morning is the pick.

Friday, August 7th – The swell holds at 8.2ft from the SW, 14 seconds, but the wind turns onshore from the ENE. The morning is cross-onshore, the afternoon is a full onshore at 16 mph. Combined energy is still strong (3050 and 2927), but the surface will be chopped. This one is compromised.

Saturday, August 8th – Swell drops to 8.2ft in the morning, then 7.5ft in the afternoon, both from the SW. Wind is cross-offshore from the WSW, so the surface stays clean. Combined energy is 2732 and 1826 (strong to moderate). This is a solid day for experienced surfers.

Sunday, August 9th – Big 9.8ft SW swell, but the wind is howling from the WSW at 25 mph. Combined energy 2527 (strong). The surface will be clean with the cross-offshore, but that wind strength is going to make it a battle. This one is for the hardcore crew only.

Monday, August 10th – Swell drops back to 4.9ft in the morning, 3.9ft in the
