The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s the straight-up on St Tugen over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a rough run. Most of the window is junk, with scores near zero for ages. The whole first week and a half is a write-off – we’re looking at tiny, weak swell, onshore or cross-onshore wind, and just messy, ordinary waves. There’s a long, frustrating gap with basically nothing to get excited about. The water temp is 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real glimmer of hope comes late on Monday, August 10th afternoon, with a pulse of swell from the west, pushing 6 ft and a solid 9-second period. The combined energy is decent at 549 (moderate wave energy). Thing is, the wind is cross-onshore at that point, so it will be a bit choppy and not the cleanest it could be. It’s a proper wave size, but it won’t be a picture-perfect session.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday morning, August 11th. We’ve got a 4 ft west swell, with an 8-second period, and here’s the kicker – glassy conditions. Glassy! The wind drops to a whisper, and combined energy is 206 (moderate wave energy). This is your best shot at clean, surfable waves at a consistent spot like St Tugen. It’s not huge, but it’ll be smooth. Given the size, it’s fine for a solid intermediate. After that, it’s back to slop and onshore wind.
This is a classic case of "wait for a clean day" in a generally quiet period. Don’t expect much, but that Tuesday morning might just deliver.
Rusty.

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.
