The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s comin’ our way. We’ve got a bit of a wild ride ahead, so let’s get into it.

The first solid option isn’t for a few days, so we’re talking a bit of a wait. The week starts rough, but there’s a proper standout window that’ll get the blood pumping if you’re an experienced surfer.

Super Tubes is the only spot on the menu, and it’s a reef and point setup, very consistent, and handles a SW swell best. The water is a chilly 62°, which is a whopping 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a seriously cold anomaly, so you’ll be diggin’ for the thickest rubber.

Things don’t look good until Monday the 8th of September. That Tuesday morning, the 8th, we get a moment of glassy conditions with a 4ft SW swell (period 13 seconds). The energy is only moderate (746), so it’s not huge, but the clean, glassy surface will be a welcome change. It’s a small window for a fun, small-wave session.

The real standout, the one you want to circle, is Monday the 14th of September. That afternoon, Super Tubes will be absolutely pumping. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the SSW, with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s a groundswell, packing some serious energy (4097). The wind is light offshore from the SW, making for clean, epic conditions. This is heavy, expert-level territory – over 8ft, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The period is long, meaning it’ll be powerful and walled-up on a reef point like this, which is perfect. The crowd factor is “often,” so expect a few other chargers out there.

Tuesday the 15th of September morning is another good option, with a 7ft SSW swell and a fresh offshore breeze from the WSW. It’s a notch down but still very good. The energy is moderate (1718), and the winds will keep it clean.

The rest of the run is a mixed bag. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 17th of September, with a 5ft SW swell and clean offshore winds, but it’s not a standout compared to that Monday. The 18th of September gets messy again with a cross-shore wind.

So, bottom line: this is a waiting game. The first week is mostly a write-off, but that Monday the 14th of September afternoon at Super Tubes is the one. Mark it. Bring your big-wave board and your thickest steamer.

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.
