Super Suck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Super Suck. This reef and point setup is gonna be the main attraction for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s lookin’ pretty special. We’ve got a solid run of swell with some real standout sessions ahead.

Alright, so the water temperature is sittin’ at 80°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothin’ unusual there.

The first real action kicks off on Monday, July 27th. We’ve got clean, 7ft surf from the SE with a gentle offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is strong at (1008), so there’s plenty of punch in the water. It’s good surf, but the real magic starts building from Wednesday, July 29th. Wednesday morning sees the swell droppin’ to 4ft, but it’s a proper long-period groundswell from the SSW at 14 seconds. The energy’s still mod at (714) and it’s clean with a moderate offshore wind.

Now, the standout of this whole run is undoubtedly Thursday, July 30th. The morning’s got a 4ft SSW groundswell, but the combined energy jumps up to (1270), and then in the afternoon, it goes full epic. The swell drops a tiny bit to 3ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 19 seconds, with the energy crankin’ to (1485). The wind is a gentle offshore, glassy as anything. This is a point break setup, so that long-period groundswell is gonna wrap in beautifully and offer up some proper, long, clean lines. It’s an excellent session for experienced surfers.

The good times just keep on rollin’ into the weekend. Saturday, August 1st has 5ft SSW groundswell building through the day, with light winds. By Sunday, August 2nd, the swell’s pumping at 7ft to 7ft, with a 16 to 17 second period. The energy hits (2237) and then (2840) in the afternoon, which is very strong. It’s clear skies and a gentle offshore wind, so the conditions are gonna be immaculate. This is big, powerful swell though – at over 7ft, this is expert territory. The crowds at Super Suck are an ‘sometimes’ thing, so expect some company out there.

The first week of August continues to deliver consistent SSW groundswell. The sizes sit around 6ft to 7ft, with periods holding strong at 14 to 17 seconds. The winds stay favourable, mostly cross-offshore or clean and offshore. There’s a little cross-shore wind on the morning of Tuesday, August 4th, and a couple of sessions get flagged as marginal, but overall, the quality is sky-high. The energy levels stay well into the strong range, with numbers like (1626) and (2889) on August 6th.

Into the second week, which is from August 11th onwards, the swell is still there, but the quality drops a bit. August 11th still has 7ft SSW groundswell with 15 second periods, but the wind is a bit stronger at 20 km/h and cross-offshore. The energy’s still there at (1821). It’s still surfable and clean, but not with the same pristine conditions as the week before. There’s a long run through the week of similar sized surf, but the conditions are just a bit more wind-affected. It’s still promising, but less certain.
