Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks, yeah? The charts are showing a proper pulse of south-west groundswell heading our way, and Super Tubes is going to be the spot to be. It’s a proper reef and point set-up, very consistent, and it knows how to handle a solid swell. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there, just your usual.

We start off on Wednesday the 5th with a bit of a tease. Morning brings a clean 3ft SSW swell with a nice 15-second period, light offshores making it smooth. The energy is moderate at 592, just getting things going. Then arvo, it jumps to 6ft from the SW, period stretches to 16 seconds, and the energy bumps to 1551. Still clean, a bit more push, and it's looking good for the experienced crew.

Thursday the 6th is where it kicks off proper. Morning sees a solid 12ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and the energy is pumping at 4873. We’ve got a gentle offshore wind, so it’s going to be lined up and holding shape. This is proper advanced territory, too big for the groms, but for the lads who know the reef, it's going to be firing. The afternoon (Thursday) backs off slightly to 12ft, still big, energy at 3883, with a cross-off breeze, but the tide might make it a bit tricky.

Friday the 7th is the standout. Overnight the wind drops right out, leaving us with a glassy 10ft SW swell, period at 12 seconds, and energy at 2331. This is about as good as it gets. Super Tubes (Super-Tubes_1) with a clean, glassy face and a solid SW groundswell. The morning is the time, before the ESE cross-on kicks in for the afternoon and messes it up a bit.

Saturday the 8th keeps the good times rolling. Morning brings a clean 8ft SW swell, 14-second period, with a gentle offshore wind (2782 energy). Then the afternoon is still good, 8ft, still offshore, just a bit stronger wind at 25 km/h. Consistent, clean, and a whole lot of fun for the advanced surfer.

Sunday the 9th is a big one, but it gets messy. The morning sees a massive 13ft SW swell, energy at a huge 5858, with a fresh offshore wind. It’ll be huge and powerful, definitely expert-only. But then the arvo turns ugly. The wind swings SSE and howls at 40 km/h, bringing rain and turning it into a complete mess. That's a hard pass.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are write-offs. The wind is all over the shop, cross-shore and onshore, with rain showers. The swell is still there, 8ft to 10ft, but the quality is gone. It’s lumpy, choppy, and not worth the paddle out. There’s a gap in quality here for a few days.

Wednesday the 12th drops right off. The swell fades to around 3ft, but it's onshore and weak. Not good. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are still small, 4ft to 5ft, with cross-onshore winds and ripples. Not really worth suiting up for.

Saturday the 15th shows a little flicker of life. The morning is glassy with a small 4ft SW swell, energy at 494. It’s clean, but small. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore, but still only 4ft. It’s a dawny if you’re desperate.

Then we get another pulse. Sunday the 16th is still small, but Monday the 17th is interesting. The morning is glassy with 5ft, but the afternoon pumps up to a clean 8ft SW swell with a 13-second period. The energy jumps to 2854, and it’s glassy. That’s another standout, a proper Monday afternoon session.

Tuesday the 18th is still fun, with a glassy 6ft in the morning, easing off a bit into the arvo. The rest of the week is smaller, with a bit of a strong offshore blast on the 19th arvo that makes it hard to paddle into, but Thursday the 20th brings a clean 6ft SW swell with a moderate offshore wind, which should be a fun way to end the run.

So, look, the standouts are clear: Friday the 7th morning for the glassy perfection, and Monday the 17th afternoon for that late pulse of clean power. The rest of the time is a bit of a mix, and that middle stretch from the 10th to the 14th is definitely a write-off. Keep your eyes on that forecast, though, because it can change.
