The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown on St Tugen in the numbers you might be more used to. This 16-day outlook looks a bit of a mixed bag, a lot of messy onshore days, so you gotta be patient.
The first chance to get a wave doesn't come until Saturday morning, August 22nd. It's a small one, with a 2ft swell from the NW and a short 8-second period. The wave energy is weak (121). But the wind is light offshore from the ENE, so the surface will be smooth and clean. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Sunday the 23rd is flat. A tiny 1.0ft swell with hardly any energy. Not worth the walk.
From Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th, it's a tough stretch. Tiny surf and mostly off or onshore winds. Wednesday the 26th brings a bit more size, 4ft, but from the SW with a short 7-second period and a stiff cross-onshore wind. It'll be choppy and messy.
Now, Thursday morning, August 27th – this one gets serious. The swell is forecast at 10ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is very strong at 1745. The wind is a cross-shore from the WNW at 12 km/h, which will make conditions lumpy. At this size, the forecast says it's too big for St Tugen. Only for the experts on big-wave gear. The afternoon drops to 8ft but the wind turns more onshore, ruining it.
Friday the 28th is a total loss. We're talking 15ft to 17ft of storm swell from the W. The energy is extreme at over 4700. Fresh onshore winds from the W make for a dangerous, lumpy mess. Not for paddle surfing.
The first week of September shows some promise. Tuesday morning, September 1st is glassy calm with a tiny 3ft swell. Clean, weak, and surfable on a longboard.
Wednesday morning, September 2nd is the best shot. We have a 8ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period and strong energy (937). The wind is super light from the SE, near glassy. It's called "marginal" because of tides, but if the tide works, this is the standout – a clean, powerful wave.
From Thursday the 3rd through Friday the 4th, it's massive again. 12ft swells with fresh onshore winds. The energy is extreme, hitting over 5800. This is big and ugly.
The last days, September 5th and 6th, the swell drops to 4ft to 8ft. The wind goes cross-offshore from the NNW and NW, making it clean, but the energy is only moderate. A decent, clean finish to a rough period.
For the best sessions, target that glassy morning on Tuesday, September 1st, or the cleaner, punchier waves on Wednesday morning, September 2nd – just watch the tide.
Rusty.

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.
