Supertubes, also known as Cactus, is a surf spot located on the other side of the small peninsula. It features two shallow reefs known for their challenging waves. Supertubes is named after its South African counterpart and offers fast, tubular rides. Though it draws comparisons to the well-known spot in South Africa, the rides here are generally shorter. Interestingly, it only breaks at low tide, which adds a unique twist given the shallow depth.
This spot works best with a southwest swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the south and west. It performs well with swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) and breaks over uneven reef. The waves are predominantly right-handers, which is something to keep in mind while paddling out. The preferred wind direction is northeast, which can help shape the waves better. Given the wave quality and conditions, this spot is best suited for expert surfers.
As the tide drops, keep in mind that the small tide window tends to attract more surfers, leading to increased crowds. So, if you're planning to hit Supertubes, be prepared for a packed lineup, especially when the conditions are right for surfing.
