The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Saint-Tugen. Honestly, it's a bit of a slow start. For the first week and a half, the surf is mostly poor or non-existent. There's a big dry spell from Monday the 10th of August right through until the middle of the following week.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. That morning, we've got a clean, 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW. The wind is a light offshore from the NE, so it'll be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate, so there's some proper grunt behind it. That's the one to look for, the best of the whole forecast.
The next morning, Wednesday the 19th, also looks promising with a clean 4ft swell and a slight offshore wind. By the afternoon, the swell bumps up a touch to 5ft, but the wind gets a bit messier. The water temp is about what you'd expect for the season.
After that, it fades out again. The rest of the run into the end of August is mostly tiny waves and strong offshore winds. For a regular surfer, it's a pretty quiet run after that one Tuesday morning. Might be more of a kite session on some of those windy afternoons.

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.
