The Lowdown

Alright, let me get a look at the charts. Okay, it’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real magic brewing for the end of the week and into the following week for those who are patient. The first few days are a write-off, but don't let that fool you.

Alright, so Sunday the 13th is a total no-go. We’ve got a solid 8ft SW groundswell (2307 combined energy) but that wind is howling onshore from the ENE at 22 mph, and it's just a mess. Water temp is a chilly 61°, which is 5° colder than normal—definitely noticeable, so you’ll want a good 4/3. The whole start of the week is like that, blown out and ugly.

You gotta wait until the 20th. That’s a full week away, but mark it. Sunday the 20th morning at Super Tubes is where it all turns. The wind goes glassy, just a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, and you’ve got a clean 5ft SW groundswell (1395 combined energy). That period of 13 seconds is a proper groundswell. For an advanced spot like Super Tubes, a reef and point break that’s very consistent and exposed to the SW, this is about as clean as it gets. This is the standout, no question.

Monday the 21st morning keeps it going with a fresh offshore wind from the WSW at 19 mph, but the swell jumps up to 8ft from the SE with a shorter 10-second period (2202 combined energy). That’s big and powerful, expert territory for sure.

Then, if you can wait even longer, the end of the run is looking very special. Saturday the 26th morning has a 8ft WSW groundswell (1687 combined energy) and a light cross-offshore WNW breeze. Sunday the 27th morning is another cracker with an 8ft WSW swell (2412 combined energy) and light cross-offshore wind from the SW. And then Monday the 28th morning wraps it up with an 8ft SW swell (1999 combined energy) and a glassy cross-offshore from the south. All these are labeled excellent for experienced surfers.

For the absolute best, you have to go with Sunday the 20th morning. Glassy conditions, a solid long-period swell from the perfect direction, and a break that is made for it. It’s the one to clear the calendar for.

Keep an eye on the tides at Super Tubes, because with that long period, it can change quick. That’s your window.

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.
