Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, had a good look at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Let's get into it.

We've only got one spot on the radar this time around, and boy, does it fire. Super Tubes is a reef and point break that handles a solid southwest swell really well. It is very consistent, but because it's an advanced wave, it's not for the faint-hearted.

The water is sitting at 60° right now, which is a hefty 7° colder than normal for this time of year. That's a big anomaly, so you'll want a thick steamer if you're paddling out.

The opening call on Tuesday the 1st is a beauty. We’ve got some good, solid groundswell rolling in. Early morning sees a 8ft swell from the SW with a period of 12 seconds, and the energy is strong (1488). The wind is glassy from the SSE. It stays clean through the afternoon with that swell building to 8ft (2077 energy). This is prime. It’s in the sweet spot for advanced surfers—powerful, clean, and rippable.

Wednesday the 2nd morning might be the standout of the whole run. We’re looking at 10ft of SW swell, a 13-second period, and again, glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 3415. That’s a lot of water moving. It's getting big, so only experts need apply, but if you’re one of them, this is a session you don’t want to miss. The afternoon turns cross-on, so get on it early.

After that, things get messy. Thursday the 3rd has good waves in the afternoon with clean conditions and a cross-offshore breeze on a 8ft S swell (1702 energy), but the morning is a write-off with a choppy crosswind. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are no-go zones with strong, lumpy cross-onshore winds. Sunday the 6th is a weird one—a huge 16ft swell with 19-second period rolls in, but the onshore wind is terrible and the energy is stupidly high (18425). It’ll be a washing machine, only for the most kamikaze.

From Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th, the surf drops off significantly, with poor to marginal conditions and messy winds. There’s a bit of a gap here for any quality.

The outlook picks up again on Thursday the 10th. The afternoon looks promising with a 4ft groundswell from the SW, a very long 15-second period, and glassy conditions (750 energy). That’s clean, lined-up, and wave count will be low—perfect for getting in sync with the ocean.

Friday the 11th has a clean 7ft SW swell in the morning with some cross-shore bump, but it’s still surfable. The following week from the 12th onward looks more marginal again, with choppy conditions and smaller swell, though there's a window on the 16th with moderate offshore winds and 5ft swell that could be a sneaky good session.

So to wrap it up: The absolute standout is Wednesday the 2nd morning. Get there early for glassy 10ft lines before the wind turns. Tuesday the 1st and Thursday the 10th afternoon are also excellent calls. The rest is a mixed bag, but those windows are gold.

Keep an eye on the long-range closer to the 16th; it could tidy up nicely.

Rusty.
