Supertubos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Supertubos. We got a long 16-day window here, and I gotta be straight with you – for a spot that can be world-class, this stretch looks tough. There’s a big dry patch at the start with almost no surf to speak of.

The first few days, from Monday the 17th right through the rest of that week and into the next, the swell is tiny. We’re talking about 0.3ft to 2ft of weak, short-period energy. The combined swell energy sits in the weak range, between 15 and 89. It’s just flat and not worth a paddle. You’ll get clean mornings with that light NE wind early on Monday the 17th, but there’s nothing to ride. That hard run of poor conditions lasts right up until around Thursday the 27th.

Now, Thursday the 27th afternoon shows a flicker of life – a 3ft NW swell with an 8-second period, pushing the combined energy into moderate territory (114). Still, the forecast score says it’s poor. The winds are strong cross-off from the NNW at 15 mph, which cleans it up, but the swell’s too weak and short-period to get excited about.

The only real standout, and it’s a long-range one so take it with a pinch of salt, is Friday the 28th afternoon. The forecast shows a 7ft NW swell with an 11-second period, pumping the energy right up to 972 – that’s strong. This is expert territory; it’s too big for beginners. The direction from the NW is a good match for Supertubos’ optimum SW direction, though with a bit of west in it. The wind is cross-off from the north at 15 mph, which should keep it reasonably clean. This setup screams hollow, fast barrels for the crew that can handle it. Keep an eye on that one, but remember it’s a week and a half away – a lot can change. For now, the rest of the outlook is a waiting game.

Rusty.
