Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for us over the next couple of weeks at Super Tubes.

We've got a real mixed bag coming our way. A slow start, but there's some solid groundswell on the horizon, especially for the more experienced crew. The water is sitting at a very chilly 60°, which is a massive 6° colder than usual for this time of year, so you're gonna want a thick steamer.

The first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 13th is a total no-go with onshore winds and messy conditions. Monday the 14th looks a bit more promising. The morning is showing 4ft of SW groundswell with a 13-second period and glassy conditions – that’s a real treat. It’ll be clean and smooth, perfect for getting a few easy ones. The afternoon stays clean with a moderate offshore wind and 4ft swell. The energy is moderate (543), so nothing too crazy but a fun little session.

Tuesday the 15th is clean again with light offshores in the morning on 3ft of SW swell. It’s small, but with that long 11-second period, the waves will have some shape. The afternoon picks up a touch to 5ft with a cross-offshore breeze.

Now, Wednesday the 16th is where things get serious. This is the first real standout. We're looking at a strong 8ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is ripping at 2970, so there's a lot of power behind these sets. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze. This is strictly for advanced surfers – it's too big for beginners and that long period will make it a bit top-to-bottom at a reef setup like this. If you've got the skills, this is your morning.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are pretty average, with onshore winds and choppy conditions on a 6ft to 6ft swell. Not worth paddling out for. The weekend of the 19th and 20th is similar – messy and lumpy.

We get a glimmer of hope on Monday the 21st. The morning has a fresh offshore wind on 6ft of SW swell, so it'll be clean but a bit raw. The afternoon improves with a moderate offshore and 5ft swell, and the forecast is saying very good surf conditions. That’s a solid session.

The next real standout doesn’t come until Wednesday the 23rd. We’ve got another big pulse of 8ft SW swell with a 15-second period and very strong energy (2978). The wind is cross-offshore, so it should be clean. Again, this is for experts only. A little further out, Monday the 28th is looking absolutely massive. The morning is showing 13ft of SW swell with glassy conditions. The energy is huge at 2086, and the period is only 8 seconds, so it's a bit of a short-period beast. The afternoon gets even better with the same 13ft height, a 12-second period, a massive 5173 energy reading, and glassy conditions. That is a monster day for experienced chargers only. Keep an eye on that one, but remember it's a long way off and forecasts can change.

For the pick of the period, I'd be circling Wednesday the 16th for a morning session if you're a confident surfer, and keeping a very close eye on that Monday the 28th for a potentially epic, heavy day at Super Tubes. The middle of the second week is a bit of a letdown, but there are some solid pulses to look forward to.

Rusty.
