Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks, all eyes on Super Tubes – a reef and point break that’s gonna fire for the guys who know their way around a bigger wave. There’s some solid SW groundswell comin’ through, but you gotta pick your times, ‘cause the wind gets a bit ratty later on.

Water temp’s sittin’ at 63°F, which is about 3.4°F colder than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit chilly – grab a thick wetsuit.

We get goin’ proper on Wednesday, July 8th. The morning session is lookin’ prime: clean surf at 8.2ft from the SW with a long 13-second period, light offshore wind from the west. Wave energy is strong at 2031. That’s solid, powerful stuff, and at this size it’s strictly for advanced surfers. Thursday the 9th pushes even bigger – 11.5ft in the morning from the SW, 14-second period, offshore breeze again, and energy pumpin’ at 4199. That’s big-time, heavy water. The afternoon of Thursday backs off to 9.8ft but stays clean with a gentle offshore.

Friday the 10th of July is the real standout. Morning brings 11.5ft from the SSW, 13-second period, with a light westerly offshore – glassy conditions. Energy is massive at 4228. The afternoon holds similar size with a light SW breeze, keepin’ it clean. This is top-shelf, powerful reef surf.

Now, Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th we get onshore winds from the east and northeast, and the quality tanks. Wave height drops to 5.2 – 5.6ft but with onshore wind and short period, it’s chunky and messy. Best to sit that one out.

Monday the 13th sees a cleanup with a light WSW offshore, but the swell drops right back to 3.6 – 3.9ft with a 10-second period. Energy is weak at 323-386. It’s rideable and clean, but nothin’ like what we just had.

Tuesday the 14th we get a pulse of short-period WSW windswell, 6.2 to 6.6ft but only 6 seconds. Offshore wind keeps it tidy but the waves’ll be weak and crumbly.

The middle of the week gets quiet. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th have small, messy or cross-shore winds. Friday the 17th of July brings back some juice – 9.8ft SW groundswell with a 12-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze in the afternoon. That’s another excellent window for experienced surfers, with energy over 2000.

The weekend of the 19th and 20th looks pretty ordinary with onshore and cross-shore winds and droppin’ swell. But hold on – Wednesday the 22nd of July morning offers a little jewel: 5.6ft from the SSW, 13-second groundswell, and glassy conditions with the wind droppin’ to nothin’. Energy is moderate at 1165, and while the size is manageable, those clean, smooth lines will be a treat.

The standout windows without question are the mornings of Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, and especially Friday the 10th of July, with Friday the 17th afternoon as a strong backup. These are serious, powerful, clean waves for the experienced crew. Super Tubes can get crowded often, so get in early.

Alright, that’s the rundown. Stay wet, stay hungry.
