The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, to be honest. The first few days are a write-off, with strong onshore or cross-offshore winds and waves that just aren't lining up. We’re looking at a gap of a few days with no real recommendations before things start to get interesting.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday the 12th. The morning at St Tugen is looking like a proper little gem. The swell is only 4ft from the west, but with a glassy 3 mph wind, it's going to be as clean as a whistle. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (279), so it’s not packing a massive punch, but for a morning session with no wind, it’s a real treat. The water temp is around 65°, which is pretty much average for the time of year.
Now, if you’ve got some experience under your belt and you’re willing to wait, the standout is on Wednesday the 23rd of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the west, jumping up to 7ft in the afternoon. And get this—the period is 17 seconds, which is a very long period groundswell. That means proper energy, long, clean lines. The combined energy of all swells is massive (1830), so it’s strong. The wind is offshore from the northeast, which is perfect. The caveat here is that with this kind of size and period, it’s going to be powerful and best suited for experienced surfers. It’ll be a bit much for the beginners. The break is a point setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely.
The week before that, there are a few other sessions worth paddling out for. Sunday the 13th has a 6ft swell from the WNW with a 12-second period, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect. The combined energy is strong (833). Monday the 14th morning is glassy again with a small 3ft swell, but it's a bit small. Thursday the 17th morning has clean offshore winds and a 4ft swell, and Friday the 18th morning is the same story with a 3ft swell. All good, clean options for a log or a funboard.
But honestly, the big dog is that Wednesday the 23rd. That’s the one that’s got my heart racing. It’s a long way out, so the forecast could shuffle a bit, but if it holds, that’s a session to remember.
