The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Super Tubes.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The swell is small and the wind is a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it all comes together for a proper wave. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, we’re talking tropical vibes in the water right now.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Wednesday, September 16th afternoon. We’ve got a 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (268). The wind is a light cross-off from the west at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. This is a reef break, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, and the light wind means you’re looking at smooth, lined-up sets. Expect good surf conditions here.
Then we roll into Thursday, September 17th morning. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The swell picks up to 2ft from the SSW, still with a 16-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (350). The wind is light and cross-off from the west at 6 mph – glassy conditions for a reef break. This is prime time. The swell direction is straight out of the optimum W range, so it’s hitting the reef perfectly. It’s surfable size, not too big, and that clean wind will make it a joy. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, we get a few more afternoons with lighter winds and clean cross-off conditions, like Sunday, September 20th afternoon (2ft SW, 18s, 363 energy, light cross-off) and Monday, September 21st afternoon (3ft SW, 17s, 364 energy, gentle cross-off). These are solid options, but the swell is a touch inconsistent. The crowds are noted as "often" here, so expect company on the best days, especially for a wave that rarely breaks.
The wind is onshore or cross-on for many mornings, so stick to the afternoons. The best advice I can give? Aim for Thursday, September 17th morning. That’s the cleanest, most consistent slot in the 16-day window. Water’s warm, the swell’s got some pulse, and the wind is doing you a favour.
Rusty out.

Information about the Super Tubes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Super Tubes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Super Tubes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Super Tubes surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Super Tubes) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Super Tubes may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Super Tubes is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Oxnard. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Oxnard. Oxnard has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
