Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Gather 'round, crew. Rusty here, and I've got a look at the surf ahead for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but we've got some real fire on the horizon if you're patient.

The first real action starts Monday, July 27th, at Super Tubes. This place is a reef and point setup, and it's got a serious reputation. The water is running a bit colder than usual for this time of year, about 65°, so a 2mm spring suit might be the call.

Monday morning, July 27th, we're looking at a solid 7ft SW swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is a fresh offshore out of the WSW at 22 mph. The combined energy is pumping at 1958, and while it's technically clean, there's a "marginal" tag on it, likely due to some tricky tide. The real standout is Monday afternoon, July 27th. The wind eases to a moderate 12 mph offshore, still from the WSW, and the swell jumps to a powerful 10ft SW. The period stretches to a very long 17 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 5663. This is a serious groundswell – it's going to have heaps of power and shape, but it'll be for advanced surfers only. The crowd factor is "often," so expect a few chargers out there. This is the best on offer in the first week.

The rest of the week goes to mush. Tuesday, July 28th, through to Saturday, August 1st, is a write-off with onshore winds and dropping surf. We're looking at no good options for a solid five days. Things start to look a little more promising on Sunday, August 2nd, with a smaller 4ft SW swell and some clean conditions in the afternoon from a light offshore wind, but it's nothing to get excited about.

Now, for the second week, the long-range charts are looking promising, but don't hold me to it. The real highlight is shaping up for Monday, August 3rd. All day, we've got a consistent 7ft SW swell, with a 14-second period and a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW. The combined energy is strong (1836 to 1686), and the conditions are described as "excellent." This is a solid, surfable day for the experienced crew.

The biggest question mark is Tuesday, August 4th. The morning at Super Tubes is looking like a beast, with an 12ft SW swell and a clean, glassy offshore wind. The period is a shorter 10 seconds, so it'll be a bit more walled-up, but the energy is still massive. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so it's a dawn-patrol mission. Thursday, August 6th, also looks like a cracker, with a clean 10ft SW swell and 14-second period all day. The wind is light and offshore, creating perfect conditions.

Overall, the absolute standouts are Monday afternoon, July 27th, and Monday, August 3rd, for the best combination of size, power, and offshore wind. Just remember, the 10ft+ days are for experts only.
