Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off a bit slow, but the long-range picture has some serious potential for the experienced crew. The standout period is definitely the first week of August, with a few sessions that look truly special.

Kicking things off on Saturday the 1st, it’s pretty flat and messy. The wind is onshore, and the energy is weak (201). Not worth paddling out. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Sunday the 2nd sees a little more life in the water. The morning shows a 3ft SW swell with a period of 13 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, and the combined energy picks up to a moderate 314. The wind is light onshore. It’s still marginal, but you can feel the change coming.

Monday the 3rd is tricky. The swell builds to 4ft and then 5ft, with energy climbing into the 500-600 range. The wind is light, but it’s cross-onshore, so not great. Still, the power is there.

Tuesday the 4th is a tease. The afternoon brings a proper offshore wind from the WSW at 15 mph, and the swell is a solid 4ft from the SW with a 12-second period. The energy is moderate (431). It’s clean, but the score is still low. It’s close, but not quite on.

Wednesday the 5th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning session is a winner. A 3ft SW swell with clean, offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph. The combined energy is 291. The conditions are clean, and the waves are good. This is a solid, fun option.

Thursday the 6th is the first big call. The morning is a *monster*. A 16ft SW swell with a 12-second period and a strong offshore wind at 22 mph. The combined energy is a massive 7085. The waves are huge, clean, and powerful. This is for experts only. The afternoon eases to 13ft with a 13-second period and cross-offshore wind, staying clean with energy at 5246. This is a standout, but only for the brave.

Friday the 7th is still big, but the wind turns onshore. The swell drops from 10ft to 8ft, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. Pass.

Saturday the 8th is a fantastic day. The morning is a highlight: 8ft of SW swell (14-second period), with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph. The energy is 2323. The call is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays big and clean but the wind gets a bit stronger.

Sunday the 9th is the absolute peak. The morning is the best surf on offer. A 16ft swell from the SSW, 10-second period, with a gentle offshore wind. The energy is 5420. Conditions are clean, powerful, and this is a serious swell for the experienced surfer. The afternoon turns into a storm with strong cross-shore winds, so get in early.

The second week (from Monday the 10th) is a write-off for a few days. Strong winds and messy conditions from a big SE swell. Then it calms down.

Wednesday the 13th and Thursday the 14th look promising again. The morning of the 13th has a 4ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period, calm wind, and energy of 1176. Clean, glassy, and full of power. The 14th starts with a 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, and glassy conditions. These are both good, clean days.

Sunday the 16th rounds it out with a 4ft SW swell, 13-second period, and clean offshore wind. A nice way to end the outlook.

Overall best bets: The morning of Sunday the 9th is the top pick for the experienced surfer – massive, clean, and powerful. For a more manageable but still excellent session, the morning of Saturday the 8th is a standout. The morning of the 13th is a solid call for the second week.

For Super Tubes, it’s a reef and point setup, so it handles these long-period SW swells perfectly. Crowds are often a factor here, so be prepared for company on the best days.

Rusty.
