Super Tubes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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.
