The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast but in feet and miles per hour.
We’re looking at a slow start. The first few days are a total loss with onshore winds and junky conditions. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August are a washout with strong onshore breezes and poor surf. But hold tight, because the swell finally shows up toward the end of the first week.
The real standout is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. That’s the one you want. We’re looking at a clean 7 ft swell out of the WNW, with a 12-second period and a ton of energy (1050). The wind is offshore from the NNE at a light 9 mph, so it’ll be glassy and clean. This is prime for experienced surfers. The swell direction lines up well with St Tugen’s best exposure to the WSW. Water temp is about 65°, which is normal for the season.
The morning of Friday the 4th of September is also a solid option. It’s a bit smaller at 7 ft, but the wind is cross-off and the period is a long 12 seconds, so the waves will have good shape and power (1183). Just expect some company, as it can get crowded.
After Saturday the 5th, the swell backs off quickly. The morning of Saturday the 12th of September has a tiny 2 ft swell with a very long 12-second period, but it’s clean with offshore winds. It’s a longboard kind of day, not a charger. The rest of the second week is small and mostly forgettable, with a few clean windows but no real size.
Best bet: the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
