Super Suck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up, folks. Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run on the cards. The standout is without a doubt Super Suck, and it’s gonna be the main show for the bulk of this outlook. The pattern is set up with a consistent, clean south-west groundswell and persistent offshore winds, so the quality is locked in for a long stretch.

The first real action kicks off on Tuesday, 21 July. Super Suck sees a 6ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is a healthy 1,346 (moderate wave energy), and with a steady SE breeze blowing offshore, it’s going to be clean and hollow. This is advanced territory; the size and power mean it’s not for the faint of heart. The water temp is sitting about 81°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Wednesday 22 July starts off similar, with a 4ft SSW swell and clean offshore winds, but the energy drops to 676 (weak), and the afternoon gets choppy with a cross-off wind. Thursday 23 Jul is a write-off with that cross-off wind and low energy; the waves will be a mess. Friday 24 Jul starts to clean up again with a smaller 3ft SSW swell, but it’s weak.

Now, the weekend comes alive. Saturday 25 Jul sees a return to form: 4ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and the energy kicks back up to 1,281 (moderate). The wind is offshore all morning. Sunday 26 Jul is a bit of a mixed bag – the morning is small at 3ft, but the afternoon brings a 6ft SSE swell, but it’s short period at 8 seconds, so it will be a bit lumpy and weak.

The second week starts to ramp up. Monday 27 Jul has a 6ft SE swell in the morning, period only 8 seconds, so it’s a bit wind-swell-ish, but the gentle offshore wind will keep it rideable. The energy is 830 (moderate). Tuesday 28 Jul is similar: 6ft SE swell, 7-second period, but clean. The real quality returns on Wednesday 29 Jul with a 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and energy at 1,081 (moderate). Thursday 30 Jul is a standout: the morning has a 4ft SSW swell, energy 1,357 (moderate), and the afternoon has a 4ft SW swell with a massive 19-second period and energy at 1,512 (strong). That’s a very long period groundswell – it will be powerful and lined up, best on the point.

Friday 31 Jul keeps the momentum with a 4ft SW swell and 18-second period, energy 1,384 (strong). But the absolute standout of the entire outlook is the first weekend of August. Saturday 1 Aug: morning 5ft SW, 17-second period, energy 1,656 (strong). The afternoon is a 6ft SW, 16-second period, and energy punches through to 2,026 (strong). That is powerful, clean, and consistent. Sunday 2 Aug is nearly as good: 6ft SW, 15-second period, energy 2,039 (strong) in the morning, and 6ft SW, 15-second period, energy 1,675 (strong) in the afternoon. The wind is light offshore or cross-off, but it’s clean. Monday 3 Aug drops off a bit but is still good.

The real cherry on top is Wednesday 5 August. The morning sees an 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 3,749 (very strong). The afternoon is the same size with 3,820 (very strong). This is big, powerful, and with a light offshore breeze, it will be a true expert-only session. That’s the day to circle on the calendar, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

A note on crowds: Super Suck can get crowded ‘sometimes’, so expect company on the peak. The long period swells (over 15 seconds) will be prone to lining up and breaking a bit straight at the beach, but on a reef-and-point set-up like this, they’ll be perfect.

Rusty.
