The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for St Tugen. I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch of the forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, lean period with no quality surf on offer for the entire 16-day window. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions, so there’s no standout day to get excited about.
The main issue is that while we do get some pulses of swell – you can see the combined energy nudging up to 214 (moderate) around the 15th of August – the wind is almost always working against us. For most of the first week, we’ve got onshore or cross-shore breezes, often from the SW or NW, kicking up chop and spoiling the shape. The swell direction is mostly from the W or WSW, which is the optimum for St Tugen, but it just doesn’t matter when the wind is so messy.
Tuesday the 4th of August, for example, brings a 4ft WSW swell, but it’s accompanied by a 12 mph SW onshore wind. That’s junk. The water temperature is sitting at 65°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least it’s not a shock when you get in.
We do see a couple of cleaner moments – like the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, when a light NE offshore breeze and a tiny 0.7ft WNW swell make for clean conditions, but there’s simply no energy to work with. The combined energy is only 19. You’d be floating around waiting for a ripple.
The pattern repeats through the second week. The swell sticks around the 3ft to 4ft range, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-shore or onshore, often from the NW or WSW. The best of a bad lot might be the Monday morning of the 10th of August, with a 3ft WNW swell, moderate energy (174), and a cross-offshore NNW wind that keeps things clean. Still, with a 9-second period, it’s not going to be groundswell quality, and the overall forecast says poor surf.
Honestly, for a break that’s fairly consistent like St Tugen, this is a disappointing run. It doesn’t tend to stay this poor for long, but right now, the forecast is what it is. Don’t bother paddling out unless you’re desperate for a float. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those windy afternoons.
Rusty.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
