Supertubos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Supertubos has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet picture for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell with not a lot of punch, so don't get your hopes up for anything firing.

The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year, no major surprises there.

Looking at the immediate future, starting from Wednesday the 29th of July, it's all pretty flat. We're talking ankle-snappers at best with swell heights barely cracking 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the low double digits (12 to 35 range) for most of the first few days. The wind is mostly cross-off from the north, keeping it clean, but there's just no power in the water. It's a proper lull.

That carries on through the end of July and into the first week of August. There's a tiny bump on Saturday the 1st of August with swells hitting 2 ft from the west, but the energy is still only moderate at best (76). It's clean, but you'd be scratching for anything rideable. Monday the 3rd of August sees a bit of a cross-on wind, messing up that clean surface.

Things start to nudge up slightly around Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the west with a short period of 8 seconds and a moderate 134 energy reading, but the wind is light and cross. The afternoon gets cleaner with that cross-off, but it's still not inspiring. By Wednesday the 5th of August, we get the biggest swell of the whole run, a 4 ft west-northwest swell in the morning. Combined energy hits 159, which is moderate, but the period is a pitiful 7 seconds. That's all short-period wind slop, not the sort of groundswell that makes Supertubos proper. It's rideable on a bigger board for an expert, but it's not the wave you came here for. After that, it drops right back down into the doldrums for several days.

There is another pulse around Friday the 7th of August in the afternoon, with 3 ft and a 9 second period giving us a 127 energy reading. It's cross-shore though, not clean. Saturday the 8th of August has a similar size but with an onshore wind in the morning, making it a write-off.

The second week is more of the same. A bit of a bump on Wednesday the 12th of August with a 3 ft north-west swell in the morning, moderate energy at 138, but the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is a fresh 19 mph. It'll be clean but blown-out feeling. After that, it fades away again.

Honestly, for this whole 16-day window, there's no true standout. The best we can hope for is the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August. If you're an expert who just needs to get wet, the 4 ft at Supertubos with that clean north cross-off is your best bet, even if it's just a short period slop fest. The rest is a whole lot of nothing. A surfer's patience is gonna be tested.

Rusty, out.
