The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The swell window is wide open for Super Tubes this period, and it’s a real mixed bag of heavy-hitting action and frustrating lulls. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but patience is key.

The first real action kicks off Saturday, August 8th. Super Tubes is already pumping with a solid 8.2ft SW groundswell rolling in, and it’s packing a punch with a combined energy of 2462 – that’s strong stuff. The wind is blowing fresh offshore from the WSW, so the lineup will be clean and hollow. This is advanced territory, no question. By Saturday afternoon, the swell eases slightly to 7.5ft, but the wind holds offshore and the energy is still huge (1919). This is a standout window for experienced surfers.

Sunday, August 9th, the swell jumps to 10.0ft (energy 3422) out of the SW with a moderate offshore wind. The power is immense, but it’s still clean. Only for the brave. The afternoon turns ugly as solid cross-offshore winds wreck the surface, so morning is your only window.

Monday, August 10th, the swell holds at 8.2ft, but the wind goes cross-off and then cross-shore, making for a messy, choppy surface. Not worth the drive.

Then we hit a massive dry spell. From Tuesday, August 11th, all the way through to Friday, August 14th, the wind is onshore and the conditions are poor. The swell drops off and the energy values plummet into the hundreds. Keep your board in the car; it’s dead.

Saturday, August 15th, offers a tiny glimmer with a 4.3ft SW swell and cross-offshore wind, but it’s marginal at best. The real return comes Sunday, August 16th. The morning brings a 6.9ft SW swell (energy 1407) with a light offshore breeze. The wind is gentle, the waves are clean, and the period is a short 9 seconds, so it’s a bit walled up but still fun for the experienced.

Monday, August 17th, the onshore wind returns and knocks it back to junk. Tuesday, August 18th, is small and weak.

Finally, we get a proper run of good conditions starting Wednesday, August 19th. The morning sees a 4.9ft WSW swell (energy 680) with a light offshore breeze. The water is clean, the waves are shoulder high, and it’s a solid, fun session. This carries into Thursday, August 20th, with a fresh offshore wind and a 5.9ft WSW swell, and Friday, August 21st, with a gentle offshore wind and 5.6ft swell.

But the absolute standout of the entire forecast is Saturday, August 22nd. We’re looking at a massive 16.4ft WSW groundswell (energy 6236) with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is staggering – that’s very strong swell. Sunday, August 23rd, follows with an 11.5ft SW swell (energy 4064) and a gentle offshore wind. These two days are for experts only. The power is off the charts. If you’re a charger, that’s your window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises 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.
