Supertubos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

The next 16 days are looking pretty tough for any proper surf here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. Honestly, there’s a big gap of several days where there’s just nothing on offer, so don’t get your hopes up for any epic sessions. The best we see is some tiny, clean surf in the very near term, but it’s nothing to write home about.

Let’s break it down.

We start off with Supertubos on Sunday morning, the 9th of August. We’ve got some small waves, around `3 ft` from the WNW with a short period of `7 seconds`. The energy is weak, measuring at `84` units. It’s mostly clean with a light cross-offshore wind, but it’s pretty ordinary. The afternoon goes downhill, with poor conditions and the same tiny swell. This is not the day.

Monday the 10th is more of the same. The morning has `2 ft` at `8 seconds`, still weak energy at `103` units. The wind is cross-off, and it’s clean, but it lacks any punch. The afternoon drops off again. We're just not getting any power here.

Then we hit a real dead zone. From Tuesday the 11th through to Saturday the 15th, the waves are mostly tiny and poor. We see some slightly better energy on the 12th and 13th, but the swell height is still around `3 ft` and the quality is just bad. On Thursday the 13th, the energy picks up a bit to `207` units in the morning and `238` in the afternoon, but the waves are still only around `3 ft` to `3 ft` with a poor rating. It’s frustrating because there’s some energy in the water, but it’s just not translating into anything good. The wind is cross-off but the swell is just too weak and short-period to make anything of it.

The 15th of August gives us a little bit of life in the morning. `2 ft` at `9 seconds`, with a weak energy of `88` units. It’s surfable but still very ordinary. The afternoon, the wind goes cross-shore and creates a bit of chop, so nothing doing there.

From the 16th through to the 24th, it’s a complete blank. The swell drops to nearly nothing, with heights around `0.3 ft` to `1 ft`. Even though we get some glassy conditions on the 17th, there’s no waves to ride. This is a long, dry spell with no good options. The energy is weak, and the swell direction shifts to the SW, which isn't doing us any favors.

So, there you have it. There are no standout days in this window. No epic sessions, nothing that will get your heart racing. It’s one of those times where you might be better off doing something else. The good news? This sort of flat spell doesn't usually last forever, and forecasts can change, so don't lose hope. But for now, I’d keep the board in the car and maybe go for a skate.

This is Rusty, signing off.
