The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Saint-Tugen over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a tough start. For the first week, the surf is tiny and the conditions are just not happening. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap of about six days with nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 65.1°, which is nice, but that’s about the only good news.
The first real hope comes on Thursday, July 23rd, with a small pulse of swell. The morning shows a 3.3ft wave from the NNW, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, it’s not going to have much push. The combined energy is weak (96), and the wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but only just, and very ordinary. Not a standout.
Things start to get a little more interesting around the weekend of July 26th. On Sunday the 26th morning, we see 5.2ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 285 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore, which will mess up the shape. It’s a bit of a messy one, with a cross-chop, so not a classic day.
The best on offer across the whole 16 days looks like Tuesday, July 28th morning. The swell is 3.3ft from the WNW, period of 8 seconds, combined energy of 148 (moderate). But the real beauty is the wind: glassy. That’s a rare treat. The waves will be clean, and it’s a good size for intermediates. The crowd situation at St Tugen can be a factor sometimes, so get in early. The swell direction (WNW) is not a perfect match for the optimum WSW, but it’s close enough to produce some fun ones. This is the pick of the period.
The following week gets a bit of a bump. On Wednesday, July 30th and Thursday, July 31st, the mornings stay clean with cross-offshore winds from the north, and the swell hovers around 2.9ft to 3.3ft from the WNW. The period stretches to 10-11 seconds, giving more energy (204 in the combined energy), which is a proper moderate swell. The waves will have more shape, but it’s still small. Worth a look if you’re keen, but not a standout.
Overall, the first week is a write-off, but the second week offers a few clean windows, with Tuesday the 28th morning being the real gem. Keep an eye on it.
