The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Right off the bat, I gotta say, the next couple of weeks around St Tugen are looking pretty bleak for most of it. There’s a lot of small, weak swell and messy wind, so don’t expect much action for a while. The water temp is sitting at 65°F which is about average for this time of year, so that’s one thing that’s not going to give you grief.
We’ve got a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. From now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. There’s a brief moment on Monday morning, the 27th of July, where we see a modest pulse of swell. That morning at St Tugen, we’ve got a 5ft swell out of the WNW, with a 10-second period. The wind is a light NNW cross-off, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is moderate (428), so there’s some life in the water, but it’s not the standout you’d wait days for.
The real one to keep an eye on, though, is Sunday the 9th of August. That morning is looking like the best we’ll see in this whole 16-day window. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a clean north-northwest cross-off, so it’ll be glassy and smooth. The combined energy is strong (675), so there’s plenty of push. That’s going to be solid, powerful surf. Now, at 8ft, it’s getting into expert territory – this is not one for beginners. The size and energy mean it’s going to be heavy. The afternoon looks even bigger at 8ft but the wind picks up hard from the NNW at 22 mph, so the morning session is your window. Mark your calendar.
Other than that one Sunday, there’s nothing else that stands out. The rest of the time is small, weak, and onshore or cross-shore. It’s a long stretch of flat or poor conditions, so if you’re keen, wait for that August 9th morning, and be ready for a serious session.
