Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a solid run of swell coming through for Super Tubes. A bit of a slow start, but once it kicks, hold onto your board.

Alright, so we kick off on Sunday, August 2nd. Honestly, don’t get your hopes up too much for the weekend. Sunday morning has some small SW swell around 3ft with a decent 13-second period, but the energy is weak (302), and the comment about marginal conditions is fair. Afternoon picks up a touch to 3.6ft, but that cross-onshore breeze messes with it. Monday morning, August 3rd, is where we start to see a glimmer – 3.6ft SW swell, 12-second period, and glassy conditions thanks to a light NNE breeze. The energy jumps to 651, which is a solid moderate energy, and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” That Monday morning is worth a look for a clean, fun session. Still small, but clean.

Tuesday the 4th is a bit of a mixed bag with cross-shore winds, nothing special. Wednesday the 5th is interesting. Morning has some clouds, but glassy winds again with a 3ft SW swell and a long 14-second period, energy at 521. Not big, but the period and clean conditions could make for some smooth lines. Then Wednesday afternoon – here we go. The wind swings offshore from the SW at 15 mph, the swell jumps to 4.9ft, period 16 seconds, and the energy rockets to 1363. That’s moderate to strong energy. It’s described as “moderate offshore and clean.” That’s a standout for the first week. Super Tubes loves that SW direction and offshore wind. Keep an eye on tides, but this is the pick of the first few days.

Now, Thursday the 6th is for the experienced crew only. Morning brings a solid 11.5ft SW swell, 13-second period, with strong energy (4228) and clean offshore wind from the WSW. The report says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s big, powerful, and clean. Afternoon holds at 9.8ft with moderate offshore. If you’ve got the skills, Thursday morning is a serious contender. But it’s over 8ft, so beginners stay on the beach.

Friday the 7th gets messy. Morning has strong onshore wind ruining that 9.8ft SW swell. Afternoon has cross-onshore wind, still big and lumpy. Not your day for Super Tubes.

Saturday the 8th is next-level big, but it’s a battle. Morning has 11.5ft SW swell with a strong offshore wind at 25 mph. The energy is huge (4179), but that wind is strong – “strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into.” Afternoon is even more extreme: a massive 24.6ft SW swell, 13-second period, with a near gale-force offshore wind at 31 mph. Energy is 19942. That’s for the absolute elite tow-in crew or anyone who likes living on the edge. Most of us will be watching.

Sunday the 9th is a straight-up monster. Morning has 23ft SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and energy at 24646. The report says it’s too big for this break. That’s a clear warning. Unless you’re a pro and know the reef, don’t even think about it. Afternoon stays huge but gets onshore.

Monday the 10th backs down a notch to 9.8ft S swell, 14-second period, with a fresh offshore wind. That’s still big and clean, but the direction has shifted a bit (S instead of SW). Energy is still very strong at 5399. For experienced surfers, that morning could be good, but the optimum direction for Super Tubes is SW, so not quite as lined up.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th see the size drop, with cross-onshore and then glassy conditions returning on Wednesday morning with a 5.6ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and energy at 1583. Wednesday morning is clean and glassy – that’s a nice smaller window for a fun session without the extreme size.

Thursday the 13th is another standout. Morning is dead calm, glassy, with a 5.2ft SW swell, 12-second period. Energy is moderate (730). The report says “expect very good surf conditions.” Afternoon stays clean with a light offshore breeze. This is a proper, user-friendly day with clean waves and manageable size. That’s the one to circle for
