The Lowdown

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

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Super Tubes, but it’s not all clean. The first few days are a bit of a tease. Sunday the 26th is a write-off with light cross-on winds messing with a 7ft SW swell—just not worth the paddle. Monday morning the 27th is still messy with strong offshore wind, but hold on because Monday afternoon shapes up. The wind swings offshore and that 10ft SW swell with a 17-second period lights it up. The combined energy is pumping at 4834 (moderate-strong), but this is serious stuff—only for experts. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 28th is a no-go with onshore wind and choppy conditions. Wednesday the 29th is poor. Thursday the 30th is where it gets interesting again. The morning brings a light offshore breeze and a 6ft SSW swell (13-second period). The energy is moderate (946), but the wind is clean and the surf is good. A solid option for a morning session if you’re sharp.

Friday the 31st is a mixed bag, with a cross-on breeze messing things up by afternoon. The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August is flat and poor. But then Sunday the 2nd afternoon delivers a surprise: glassy conditions and a 6ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period, energy at 2214 (moderate-strong). This is a standout for the patient surfer—the long period will make for clean, powerful lines at Super Tubes, but it’s a reef and point break, so it’ll handle it well.

Monday the 3rd of August is another winner: gentle offshore winds all day, 7ft to 8ft SW swell, 14-15 second periods, and energy around 1835-2090. Excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers. Tuesday the 4th is glassy in the afternoon but smaller. Wednesday the 5th is cross-on again.

The real highlight of the whole run is the 7th and 8th of August. Friday the 7th morning is glassy, zero wind, with an 8ft WSW swell at 9 seconds—clean, punchy, and excellent for experts. Saturday the 8th is even better: glassy morning, then offshore wind in the afternoon with a solid 10ft SW swell, 13-second period, and energy climbing to 2931 (moderate-strong). That’s the standout session of the whole outlook. Expect crowds at Super Tubes, but it’s worth it.

The 9th of August has strong offshore wind but looks a bit blown out. The 10th of August finishes with a glassy afternoon and a 10ft SW swell, 10-second period—another quality session for those who can handle it.

Overall, the best on offer is Saturday the 8th of August. For the first week, Monday the 27th afternoon and Thursday the 30th morning are your best bets. Stay safe out there.

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.
