Supertubos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, this is a quiet stretch. We’re looking at a long run of marginal conditions coming up at Supertubos. The first few days are flat and not worth a paddle. From Wednesday the 15th through all of the first week, the swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, with weak energy reading between 6 and 72. The winds are often cross or cross-off but the surf just doesn’t have the size or push. The period is short, usually 8 to 9 seconds, so it’s all windswell and not doing much.

The second week is a bit better, but honestly, still not great. Around Saturday the 25th, we see a slight bump with swell up to 2 ft from the WNW, period creeping to 10 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 83-85. The winds are clean cross-off from the NNW, so it’ll be smooth on the surface, but the waves are still small. That’s the best we’ve got – a clean, small day. The following days hold similar small but clean conditions, with the swell staying below 2 ft. The winds are steady offshore from the N or NNW, but the swell is just too weak to get excited about.

Water temperature at Supertubos is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Since the swell stays so small and weak, and the break is a beach and reef setup, honestly, this is more of a windsurf or kite session than a proper surf. The clean, cross-off winds are a plus for the surface, but the lack of swell means you’ll be fighting for tiny waves. For a surfer, the best bet is Saturday the 25th morning or afternoon – clean, small waves around 2 ft from the WNW. It’s not a standout, just the least bad day on offer.

For the rest of the window, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The first week is a total write-off. The second week offers a glimmer, but nothing to get worked up about. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, it’s a quiet spell.

Rusty.
