Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on St Tugen for the next couple of weeks. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the pickings are slim. Real slim. There's a dry spell to start, and most of the window is filled with small, messy, or blown-out conditions.
We're looking at a big gap from Monday the 6th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 8th. Nothing doing. Tiny, weak, messy swells with the wind all wrong. Don't even bother.
Wednesday morning the 8th is our first real chance. We get a glassy calm – flat water, no wind. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the W, but that clean, mirror-like surface is a huge plus. The combined energy is weak (94), so it's a longboard session for sure. It's a "fairly consistent" spot, and crowds are "sometimes" a thing, so you might snag it solo.
The rest of that first week is more of the same struggle. Thursday the 9th morning and Friday the 10th morning offer clean-ish, cross-off winds on tiny 2ft to 3ft WNW swells, but the energy is still weak (92-177) – you'll be scratching for every gutless lump. By afternoon, the wind gets up and ruins it.
Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th are a washout. The only other half-chance comes on the morning of Thursday the 16th. We get glassy conditions on a tiny 3ft WSW swell, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds – that's just wind slop, no power. The energy is a weak (49). Skip it.
The real event is on the 20th and 21st of July. The swell jumps to 5ft to 6ft from the WNW with plenty of energy (467-387), but the wind is ripping onshore from the SW and SSW. For a spot that needs WSW swell, that's a recipe for racy, ugly closeouts. This is strictly for experts and even then, it'll be a battle.
There isn't one standout here. The best of the bunch is Wednesday the 8th morning for that pure glass, or maybe the morning of the 14th for a clean offshore breeze on a tiny 2ft W swell. Keep your expectations on the floor. I'll keep an eye on it, but for now, I'd say the quiver stays dry.

Information about the St Tugen Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for St Tugen provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at St Tugen can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our St Tugen surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (St Tugen) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. 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.
