Supertubos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Supertubos over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week is a tough watch. We’re looking at a run of days from Monday the 6th of July right through to Monday the 13th of July where the surf is just too small and messy to get excited about. Swell heights are hanging around 1ft to a max of 4ft, but the real problem is the quality. The cross-off winds are there, but the energy is weak – we’re talking combined swell energy values mostly between 15 and 193 (weak to barely moderate). The waves are just limp and poorly organised. You’d be fighting for scraps.

The first real glimmer of something rideable shows up on the morning of Tuesday the 14th of July. Supertubos wakes up with a 1ft swell from the WNW, period of 11 seconds – that’s a decent little groundswell pulse. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 15 km/h, keeping things clean. The comment calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and I’d agree. It’s a 1/10 type day, not a standout, but you could get a few grovelers in. The combined energy is still low at 82 (weak). Water temp is about 67°F with a near-normal anomaly of 0.3°F, so that’s average for this time of year.

Wednesday the 15th of July is more of the same: morning sees 2ft from the NW with a cross-off breeze, but the period is a short 7 seconds and energy is 91 (weak). It’s surfable but barely worth a paddle. The whole first two weeks are pretty lackluster. From the 17th of July onward, the onshore winds start to crank up from the north, hitting 18 to 25 mph, and the swell drops to almost nothing. By Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s tiny—0.3ft with a long 14-16 second period from the SW, but that combined energy is down to single digits (7 to 15). That’s just dead.

Honestly, there is no true standout in this 16-day window. Supertubos is usually a fairly exposed beach-and-reef setup that loves a solid SW, but we’re stuck with a long run of poor conditions. The only window where you might consider a session is Tuesday the 14th morning, but even then, keep expectations low. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off waiting for the next frontal passage or checking the charts again in a few days. It’s a flat spell, and for this area, that’s not unheard of.

Stay patient, and I’ll check in again soon.
