The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the forecast for Super Tubes. This is a proper reef and point setup, known for handling some serious juice, and it’s notorious for handling a crowd. The first half of this outlook is a bit of a write-off, but the second week has some real promise if you’re patient.

We’re looking at a pretty grim start. From Tuesday, the 28th of July, right through to the end of the month, the conditions are just no good. We’ve got onshore winds and a fair bit of chop, making it a mess. The wave energy is moderate to strong, hitting around 4495 at first, but it's not well-formed. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to complain about there. This poor run stretches all the way through to Saturday, the 1st of August, with the swell dropping right off to just 2ft. It’s a real bummer of a stretch.

Then we get a little glimmer of hope. On Sunday, the 2nd of August, the wind swings around to a light offshore, and the swell picks up to 4ft from the SW with a period of 13 seconds. The energy is lowish at 411, but it’s clean. A small, fun day.

Now, the real standout—and I mean the *real* one—is Monday, the 3rd of August. It’s a glassy morning with a 6ft SW groundswell, a period of 15 seconds, and energy jumping to 1358. This is where Super Tubes comes alive. That long period is going to push some proper lines through the reef, and with the wind dead calm, it’s going to be as clean as it gets. This is for experienced surfers only, as the size and power are serious. The crowds are likely to be there, but for a session this good, it’s worth it.

The next big one to circle on the calendar is Thursday, the 6th of August. Another cracker. We’ve got a clean 12ft SW swell, with a 14-second period. The energy is huge, reading 4649 in the morning. The wind is offshore and light, so the wave faces will be perfect. Again, this is strictly for the experts. The next day, Friday the 7th, holds the same size but the wind gets howling from the NW at 22 mph, making it a bit of a battle to get in, especially with that strong offshore wind making it hard to paddle into.

After that, the swell slowly winds down through the second week, with the wind staying offshore for the most part. Another good call-out is Tuesday, the 11th of August. Another glassy morning, with a 10ft SW swell. The period is a bit shorter at 11 seconds, but the energy is still strong at 3134. It’s solid and clean for the early birds.

So, the pick of the bunch is Monday the 3rd for the glassy perfection, and Thursday the 6th for the raw power and clean conditions. Get out there if you can handle it. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
