Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming down the line.

We’ve got a slow burn to start, with a few days of rubbish before things clean up proper. The first couple of days are a write-off with strong onshore winds and messy conditions, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the heart rate up, especially for the lads and lasses who can handle some size. The standout sessions are shaping up for the 17th and then again on the 23rd and 24th.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are no-go. Rain and clouds with a stiff easterly blowing cross-on or onshore, kicking up chop. Swell is there—2.3m Tuesday morning, dropping to 0.9m by Wednesday—but it’s all messy with moderate to fresh breeze and poor surf. Combined wave energy is high on Tuesday (2467) but drops off fast. Nothing worth paddling for.

Thursday the 13th sees a bit of a turn with some SW groundswell pushing 1.5–1.8m and a long period of 16–17 seconds. Wind is onshore though, and conditions are still marginal with questionable tide. The energy is strong (2198 Thursday morning), but it’s not clean enough to get excited about.

Friday the 14th is still marginal—cross-shore wind and a moderate cross-chop in the morning. Afternoon gets a bit better with a glassy window as the wind drops to 5 km/h from the ENE, but the swell is only 1.5m at 15 seconds. It’s on the edge.

Now, Saturday the 15th is where we start to see some hope. Early morning, wind swings light offshore from the SW at just 5 km/h, the swell sits at 1.3m from the SW with a 14-second period, and the water turns clean. Combined energy is moderate (586). It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable and clean. Afternoon turns cross-shore, so get out early.

Sunday the 16th picks up again with a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW at 25 km/h in the morning. Swell holds at 1.2m, 13 seconds, and it’s clean. The afternoon stays clean with a gentle cross-off breeze. Energy is moderate (453–467). A solid option for a Sunday session.

Monday the 17th is one of the best on offer. Morning brings a light cross-off breeze from the NW at 10 km/h, swell bumps to 1.5m from the SW at 13 seconds, and conditions are clean with very good surf. By afternoon, the wind goes light offshore from the SW, swell pushes 1.9m, and the combined energy jumps to 1189. This is a standout—clean, decent size, and good shape for Super Tubes (a reef and point break). It’s a fairly exposed spot, so it handles the SW direction well, and the long period (13 seconds) gives it some punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no anomaly worth shouting about.

Tuesday the 18th gets interesting but tricky. A strong offshore breeze from the WSW at 40 km/h in the morning makes it clean but hard to paddle into. Swell is 1.4m with 13-second period and strong energy (1260). By afternoon, the wind eases to a fresh 35 km/h offshore, and the swell jumps to 3.0m—that’s big, expert-only territory. The combined energy hits 2779, massive. Only for the experienced crew. The 12-second period is solid groundswell, but it’s a big day.

Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are back to poor conditions with onshore winds and messy surf. Swell drops, energy fades. Not worth it.

Friday the 21st shows a glimmer: clean in the morning with a cross-off breeze from the SW, 1.1m swell at 12 seconds, moderate energy (415). By afternoon, it’s clean and gentle. A small but clean option.

Saturday the 22nd is a write-off again—onshore winds, choppy, poor surf.

Now, Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are the real standouts of the whole outlook. Sunday morning: light offshore from the WSW at 10 km/h, swell at 1.7m from the SW with a 16-second period—long period groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 1859. Conditions are clean and excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday afternoon gets even better: 2.0m swell, 15-second period, gentle cross-off breeze from the SW, and energy blasts to 2888. That’s a serious session. Monday the 24th morning goes glassy—zero wind from the SSW—with 1.8m swell at 13 seconds and energy of 1224. The break will be clean, smooth, and inviting,
