The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s cooking.

The next couple of weeks are all about Super Tubes. This is a solid reef and point set-up that loves a good SW groundswell, and there’s plenty of that on the way. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch colder than what we’d normally expect for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker spring suit.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the real eye-opener is this Saturday morning, the 25th of July. It’s going to be a standout. The swell is a solid 8ft from the southwest, with a nice long 13-second period, pushing a lot of energy through the reef (2226). The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. This is prime for experienced surfers only – it’s a meaty wave, and the crowd will likely be around, but for the skill level this calls for, it’s a session to remember.

After that, the wind gets a bit messy for the rest of the weekend and into the start of the week. Sunday the 26th is rideable but with a cross-on breeze, it’s not going to be as clean. Monday the 27th afternoon is interesting – the wind goes fresh offshore from the WSW, and the swell jumps to 10ft with a very long 17-second period. That’s a lot of energy (4770) and it’ll be grinding down the point. That long period will make it a bit more walled-up at a beach break, but on a reef and point like this, it’s going to be powerful and fast. Again, expert territory.

Things go downhill from Tuesday the 28th through to the end of the month. The winds are onshore and choppy, and the swell drops off. The 31st of July and the 1st of August see the swell bottom out around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind turns clean again. Not a lot of energy, but if you’re on a log, it’s a fun little window.

Now, looking into the first week of August, there’s a promising run. Monday the 3rd of August morning is glassy, with a clean 5ft SW swell (14s period). That’s a lovely, clean paddle. Wednesday the 5th of August morning is also glassy with a similar 6ft swell.

But the real highlight in the second week is Thursday the 6th of August afternoon. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is a solid 10ft from the SW, with a 13-second period and strong energy (2483). That’s another session for the experienced crew. Friday the 7th of August morning is also excellent, with a fresh offshore wind and a 8ft SW swell. The weekend after that gets a bit messy again before a final clean-up on Sunday the 9th of August afternoon with a moderate offshore and a clean 6ft wave.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Saturday morning the 25th of July and Thursday afternoon the 6th of August. Both are glassy, solid SW groundswells for Super Tubes. This is a spot that can handle a crowd when it’s on, and it’s rarely flat. The middle of the week is a write-off, but it tends not to stay poor for long here.

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.
