Super Suck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell lining up at Super Suck, a reef and point setup that’s consistent and advanced-level. The water’s sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, no surprises there.

The action kicks off Saturday afternoon, August 29th, with a clean 6ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds. The energy’s pumping at 1268 (moderate to strong), and with a light cross-off breeze, it’s looking like a great session to start the run. Sunday, August 30th, stays clean with 5ft SW swell, but the wind goes glassy in the morning (3 mph) and then shifts offshore in the afternoon – that’s a major plus, making for some super smooth lines.

Monday, August 31st, is a standout. The morning has 4ft SW swell but with a very long period of 18 seconds (1268 energy), and by the afternoon it jumps to 5ft with the same 18-second period and a clean offshore wind. The energy jumps to 1788 – that’s proper, powerful groundswell. This is going to be best for experienced surfers, and the point setup will love that long period.

Tuesday, September 1st, is another cracker. Swell builds to 7ft SW, still with a 17-18 second period, and the afternoon brings a moderate offshore breeze. Energy is 2844 in the morning and 2352 in the afternoon – strong stuff. Wednesday, September 2nd, holds similar size (7-7ft) with offshore winds, though the morning’s a bit more cross-off. Still, excellent conditions for advanced surfers.

We roll into Thursday, September 3rd, with 5-5ft SW swell, clean but the energy drops a bit. Friday, September 4th, lightens up to 5ft, and the conditions become more marginal. The weekend of September 5th and 6th sees a slight bump to 6-6ft from the SSW, but the energy is still moderate and the winds are cross-off – it’s clean but not as punchy.

The second week starts Monday, September 7th, with 7ft SSW swell, but the conditions are described as marginal. The energy dips again. Then Tuesday, September 8th, is a bit of a surprise: the afternoon jumps to 7ft SSW with a massive 20-second period and energy of 4566 – that’s very strong, long-period groundswell, but it’s labeled marginal, so there may be tide or other factors. Wednesday, September 9th, holds 8ft SSW swell (energy 3944) – that’s big, expert-only territory. The run continues with 7-8ft SW/S swells through the rest of the week, with some offshore winds on Thursday, September 10th, and Saturday, September 12th, offering cleaner windows. The final Sunday, September 13th, wraps up with 6-6ft SW swell and offshore winds.

Overall, the best of the best is the Monday afternoon through Tuesday stretch (Aug 31-Sep 1), with that 18-second groundswell, clean offshore winds, and solid 5-7ft size. The second week’s large swell (Sep 8-9) is for experts only, and the long period means it’ll be better at the point than a beach break. The last few days of the outlook (Sep 10-13) offer some good, clean sessions for more experienced surfers.

Keep an eye on the tide and the winds, but this is a solid run for Super Suck.

Rusty.
