The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got coming down the line for St Tugen. It’s a bit of a mixed bag this fortnight, with a lot of onshore chop to deal with, but there are a couple of real clean windows that will have you frothing.

The first few days look pretty average. The swell is running small to moderate, with a combined energy reading around the 150-160 mark, but a strong northwesterly wind is just messing it up. Monday the 14th is a tease with a glassy morning on 3ft of swell, but by afternoon the cross-on wind has it looking ordinary. Tuesday the 15th is a write-off with a big NNW breeze on a drop in size. Wednesday the 16th bumps up to 7ft from the WNW (energy up to 917), but there’s a stiff cross-off wind that makes it look chunky and clean, though still a bit wild for the average punter.

We get a hammering of big swell from Thursday the 17th right through to the weekend, with wave heights hitting 8ft on Friday the 18th and energy readings cracking 2500. The problem is the wind is cross-on or onshore all that time, creating a messy and lumpy surface. That’s more a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle session. Even the 14-second period swell on Friday won’t save it from the chop.

The real standout is the morning of Monday the 21st of September. The wind finally clocks around to a light cross-off from the ENE, glassing things right up. The swell is a solid 6ft from the WNW with a 13-second period, giving it good energy (1197) and proper shape. This is the best on offer. It’s still got some size so you’ll want your wits about you, but it’ll be clean and lined up. Expect crowds to be around sometimes here.

Another window opens mid-week. Tuesday the 22nd morning drops to a 3ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is true offshore from the NE at 15 km/h. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 18°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Wednesday the 23rd morning also has offshore wind from the ENE on a 4ft swell, making for a solid, if smaller, clean session.

Heading into the second week, late September has some promise but is a bit more sketchy. Friday the 25th has a solid 7ft W swell with a long 15-second period (energy 1900) and clean conditions from an easterly cross-off, but the wind is gusty at 30 km/h. It’s a powerful groundswell that will work best at the point here, not the beach. The very end of the run on Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th sees the swell ramping up to 10ft, which is just too big for this break and fairly dangerous.

So, bottom line: if you can get on the Monday the 21st morning session, that’s your pick. It’s clean, powerful, and properly surfable. The smaller offshore windows on the 22nd and 23rd are your backups for a fun, easy paddle.

Rusty.

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.
