The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into this one.
We've got a bit of a mixed bag on the cards over the next couple of weeks. It starts off a little rough, but there are some absolute gems to look forward to, especially if you're an experienced surfer looking for some proper power.
Right now, it's a write-off. Monday's onshore breeze is wrecking any chance of a decent wave, so don't even bother paddling out. We have to wait until Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, for things to turn around.
Tuesday the 8th is where it's at. Get up early. Super Tubes is going to be absolutely glassy with no wind, and a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the SW. The energy is moderate (697), and with a 13-second period, those waves will have some real push. This is the standout of the whole run for me. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest suit.
The quality hangs around for the next few days. Wednesday the 9th stays clean with offshore winds in the morning, dropping to 2ft, but that long 14-second period keeps it fun. The energy is weaker (314), but it'll be lined up. Thursday the 10th morning is also a beauty with clean 4ft surf and gentle offshore breezes.
Now, for the heavy hitters. The experienced crew need to circle Sunday the 13th of September. We've got heavy rain, but it's coming with a strong offshore wind, and a solid 6ft SW groundswell (1508 energy). The report says "excellent for experienced surfers," and I agree. That's a powerful wave. Then Monday the 14th keeps the good vibes going with offshore winds and 7ft surf.
We do hit a bit of a flat spell towards the very end of the outlook, around the 19th and 20th, with only tiny dribbles on offer. The final notable day looks like Monday the 21st of September, with a clean 5ft SW swell pushing in during the afternoon.
Keep an eye on that Sunday the 13th and the following Monday. Those are the ones to wake up early for. The rest of the time, the winds are a bit all over the place, so you have to pick your windows.
Stay safe out there.

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.
