Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’re looking at a solid 16-day window at Super Tubes, and it’s a wild ride. Starting off, the water is a bracing 60°, which is a whopping 6° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s deeply unusual, so don’t skimp on the rubber.

The first real chance to get wet is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We’ve got a clean 4ft SW groundswell with a nice 13-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy from the north. The combined energy is moderate (697), but the conditions are about as good as it gets. This is a standout window for the week – it’s going to be clean, lined up, and begging for a few early ones.

Wednesday morning the 9th drops right off to a small 2ft SW swell, but the period is a very long 15 seconds. The wind is clean cross-off from the NW, so it’ll be smooth. It’s just tiny, more of a longboard or a sneaky sunset session.

Thursday morning the 10th is where it picks up again. A clean 4ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and a solid offshore breeze from the SW. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 765. Expect very clean, rippable conditions on the point.

Now, here’s the big one. Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning shows a 7ft SW groundswell with an incredibly long 18-second period, clean offshore wind from the SW, and combined energy roaring to 3466. That is strong energy. The afternoon gets even more serious: 13ft of SW swell, 16-second period, still clean offshore, and combined energy hitting 7113. This is exceptional, heavy surf for experts only. The direction is straight out of the SW, which is what this break loves. This is the true standout of the entire outlook. If you’re an experienced charger, that afternoon is your target.

Thursday the 17th holds the size, with 13ft and 12ft SW swells, but the wind turns slightly cross-off and there’s some light rain. Still clean, but the power is right up there. The morning of the 22nd shows a massive 16ft SW swell, but the wind is howling onshore from the east at 16 mph, and combined energy is 6622. That’s a complete mess for surfing – looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.

The second week has some other moments. The morning of the 20th of September has a clean 5ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period and glassy west wind – beautiful, clean conditions. The 21st morning has a nice 6ft SW swell, 13-second period, and gentle offshore from the WSW. Consistent and clean.

Overall, the best on offer is absolutely the afternoon of Wednesday the 16th of September. The size, the period, the wind, the direction – it’s all there. The Tuesday morning of the 8th is a close second for a cleaner, more manageable session. Don’t sleep on the 20th morning either for a glassy, long-period session.

Rusty.
