The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

We’ve got a solid run of surf, mostly at Super Tubes. The first few days have some real juice. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

Monday, July 20th kicks off with 2.3m sets from the WSW, a 10-second period, and a clean 15 km/h offshore wind. That’s a great start. Afternoon drops to 1.7m, still clean. Tuesday morning, July 21st is the early standout – dead calm, 1.8m from the SW, and a long 15-second period. That’s a proper groundswell for a reef and point. Crowds are often, so get there early.

Tuesday afternoon the wind goes cross-shore, but it’s still 2.5m. Wednesday, July 22nd is another good one: glassy morning with 2.2m, then a clean offshore breeze in the afternoon. Thursday morning stays clean with 2.1m, but the period drops to 8 seconds.

Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, the swell hits 3.5m with a 30 km/h offshore wind. That’s expert-only, big and powerful.

Friday, July 24th, is a mess – onshore wind and a massive 3.5m swell. Stay out.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is glassy again with 2.4m of SW groundswell. That’s a beauty.

The next week gets rough. Sunday, July 26th through Tuesday, July 29th has a lot of cross-on and onshore wind, spoiling the 1.8m to 3.0m swells.

Then Thursday morning, July 30th, we get a second wind. Calm conditions, 2.4m from the SSW, and a 13-second period. Another excellent window for the experienced.

The first weekend of August sees smaller stuff, dropping to 1.0m or less by Sunday. A few clean offshore mornings, but the energy is weak.

The best of the bunch? Tuesday morning, July 21st, and Saturday morning, July 25th. Glassy, solid 2m+ SW swell, and that longer period on the 21st makes it a little special.

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 19 km (12 miles) from the city of Kruisfontein. If you plan a holiday in Eastern Cape (South), look for hotels and other accommodation in Kruisfontein. Kruisfontein has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
