The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Supertubos.
It’s a pretty quiet start to the outlook, I’m afraid. We’ve got a run of tiny, weak swell and mostly cross-off winds that’s just not doing anything for the surf. You’re looking at a solid gap from now until the 23rd of August where there isn’t a single solid recommendation for a paddle. The swell combined energy is mostly in the low double digits or hundreds, barely pushing 202 at best, and it just doesn’t have the power. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
That all changes around the 24th of August. We start seeing some proper swell showing on the charts, and by the 25th of August Tuesday morning, there is a window that’s worth watching. The morning is the pick. You’ve got a clean 1.7m swell from the WNW with a combined energy of 481 – that’s moderate to strong energy. The wind is light from the NW, making for a cross-shore with just small ripples, so it should be clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. The size is around 6ft, which is getting into the territory where you need to be comfortable on a bigger board, but it’s not massive. That said, it’s a “beach and reef” setup, so it can handle a little more size than a pure beach break. However that WNW swell direction is a good match for the optimum SW direction, so expect some proper waves. Supertubos can get busy, and with a decent swell like this, expect the crowd to be there.
Later that week, the 26th of August Wednesday morning and afternoon also have some swell – 5ft to 5ft from the NW – with similar energy levels. The winds are onshore or cross-shore though, so it won’t be as clean as Tuesday. The 27th of August Thursday has a 4ft swell but with a strong cross-off wind that will keep it clean, but the energy is lower, around 191-218. It’s a decent option if the earlier windows don't work.
Overall, hold tight for the first week and a half, then keep your eyes glued to the forecast for the morning of the 25th of August. That's the one.

Information about the Supertubos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Supertubos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Supertubos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Supertubos 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 (Supertubos) 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 Supertubos 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.
