Supertubes (Cactus) is a fast, tubular right-hander that takes its name from the famous South African break. It breaks a fair way out over an uneven reef and throws tight, tubular sections, though the ride is much shorter than its namesake. On the other side of the small peninsula sit two more shallow, board-breaking reefs.
When It Works
Supertubes draws swell from south through west (S-W), with southwest (SW) the best direction. It works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft, and the wave stays moderately consistent. More west in the swell tends to take the edge off it.
Wind and Tide
Look for northeast (NE) offshore wind. The reef only comes to life at low tide, and a rising tide is generally the better call. That tide window is short, so timing your session matters.
Local Tips
This is an expert-only wave over shallow reef. The lineup gets increasingly crowded when it's on, and the small tide window condenses everyone into the same short session.
Access
There's a car park with free parking, and camping is on offer.
