The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for St Tugen over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a slow start for the first few days. We've got a bit of lumpy, onshore junk for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Not worth getting wet for. The water temp is sittin' around 64° right now, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 5th. That morning is looking proper. We've got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a nice long 11-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. It's going to be glassy out there, and that long-period groundswell will have some real punch – the combined energy is a solid 497, which is strong. Now, that long period can make it a bit straight at a beach break, but St Tugen is exposed and can handle it. This is the standout of the first week, no question.
The following Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th have some clean moments with offshore winds, but the swell drops off pretty quick. Monday the 7th morning has a 3ft, 12-second period swell from the west with a clean cross-offshore wind – that longer period will give you some nice, shapey lines, and the energy is still moderate at 354. Worth a paddle if you're keen.
We hit a bit of a flat, windy patch again until Thursday the 10th. That afternoon looks clean again with a small but rideable 3ft WNW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze.
Then, Friday the 11th morning is another little highlight. We get a 5ft swell from the west, and a proper offshore breeze from the northeast. It's going to be clean and lined up. The period is a shorter 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit more of a windswell feel, but with that offshore wind, it should be fun. The energy is strong at 341.
After that, the second week gets a bit messy. There's some clean surf on the 12th, 13th, and 15th, but the wind is often fresh and the swell quality is marginal. The 15th has a 3ft, 12-second period swell from the WSW, which is interesting, but the wind is howling. It looks more promising for a kite than a paddle on some of those afternoons.
Overall, your best bets are the mornings of Saturday the 5th and Friday the 11th. Get on it before the wind gets up.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for St Tugen may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
