Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s brewin’ at Super Tubes. It’s a long stretch, but there’s a real gem in there with a lot of flat spells around it.

Water temp’s at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year—bring the thick wetsuit.

The week starts messy. Through the first few days of July, we’ve got size but also strong, funky winds. First real chance to get wet without gettin’ thrashed is late Sunday the 5th. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a small 5 ft swell from the SE, period 11 seconds. Energy’s weak (888). It’s clean, but nothin’ to write home about.

Monday the 6th is better—7 ft SW swell, 12-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds Monday afternoon with only 5 km/h breeze. Energy’s moderate (1346). It’s good, but again, wait for the main event.

That main event is Thursday the 9th, morning. Swell hits 15 ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds—that’s very long-period groundswell. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm. Combined energy is a whopping 8662. This is expert stuff—anything over 8 ft is for the experienced crew. The direction (SSW) matches the optimum (SW) for this reef-and-point break. It’ll be clean, powerful, and crowded. This is the standout, no question.

After that, it’s rough. Friday the 10th brings onshore winds that trash it, then a long gap of weak, messy surf through mid-July. A solid week-plus where you’re just waiting.

Then, in the second week, there’s a late pulse worth a look. Thursday the 16th shows 13 ft to 15 ft from the WSW, with cross-offshore winds and clean conditions, but the period is shorter (10-11 seconds). Energy is strong (3370 to 4955). Friday the 17th keeps it going with 15 ft from the SW, a better 13-second period, and light cross-offshore winds (15 km/h). Energy is 6354. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out—note it and check back.

So, the 9th is your day. The rest is patient waiting.

Rusty.

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.
