The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into this one. We’re looking at a real slow burner for the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th, the swell is tiny or junky, with fresh winds messing up any chance of a wave. You’ll be watching the horizon and seeing nothing. A real frustrating start.
Then Monday the 27th morning, there’s a little glimmer. The wind swings light and cross-offshore, and the water is glassing up. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (351). It’s not pumping, but it’s clean and ridable. That’s the best we’ve seen so far. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and it gets choppy again.
Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are poor. On Wednesday morning, the wind goes glassy, but the swell is tiny at 3ft and the energy is weak (97). It’s surfable, but only just.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st stay small and messy. Friday afternoon sees a jump in size to 6ft but it’s a short-period, onshore mess from the WSW. Not for paddling.
Now, the real standout – and it’s a long way off – is the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August. Saturday the 1st morning brings a solid 5ft swell from the WSW, but the big story is Saturday afternoon. We get a 7ft swell from the W with an 11-second period. The combined energy (1737) is strong. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is onshore, though, so it’ll be a battle. It’s a big, powerful, chunky wave. Expert territory only.
Sunday the 2nd of August keeps the size up – 8ft in the morning, still from the W. The energy drops a bit but remains strong (1119). The wind is onshore, and there’s light rain. It’s big, windy, and raw. For the experienced crew only.
After that, it all fades away. From Monday the 3rd through to the 8th, it’s back to small, weak, and often blown out. Nothing worth getting excited about.
So, the best on offer is Monday the 27th morning for a clean, modest session, and the real, heavy potential is on the 1st and 2nd of August. That one is a promise for the brave, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
