Supertubos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: the surf over the next couple of weeks is mostly a waiting game. There’s a lot of flat, weak junk to get through before we see any real swell.

Right off the bat, and for about a week, it’s ankle-biters. Waves are under 2ft, with short-period slop and a lot of cross-off breeze. The energy is weak, mostly in the single digits to the 60s. It’s not until Wednesday the 16th that we see any bump—a clean but small 3ft NW swell—but the wind is up and it’s still not enough to get out of bed for.

The following week is where the magic happens. Friday morning, the 19th, a proper groundswell arrives. We’re looking at 4-5ft of northwest swell with a 13-second period. The energy reading is 637, which is some serious power. And the wind is dead calm. This is the standout morning—Supertubos (Peniche) is going to be firing. Glassy, lined-up, and with that long-period energy, it’ll be a proper session. Mark this one down.

That afternoon it gets a little crossed up, and it eases off slightly, but then Saturday morning the 22nd gives us another gift. Again, 4-5ft of northwest groundswell, 12-second period, and glassy conditions. Another absolute ripper of a morning. Energy is 572. This is your second big one.

After that, we drop back down, but there’s a fun, clean 3ft pulse on Wednesday afternoon the 24th with light offshore winds. Not as big, but still worth a paddle.

Water temp is about normal for the year. With the bigger swells hitting 4-5ft, that’s getting a bit chunky for beginners, and with those long periods, the beach breaks might get a little shifty. Supertubos will handle it best.

So, there you have it. A week of nothing, then two killer mornings. Don’t sleep on the 19th and the 22nd.

Later, Rusty.
