The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for St Tugen.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a waiting game on our hands. The first solid week or so is pretty grim with a lot of weak, onshore wind and messy conditions. There's a bit of a pulse of swell early on Monday the 31st of August with an 8ft swell from the west, but it's got a cross-shore wind and the energy is high at 1307, but it's let down by the conditions. Honestly, the real standout is looking like it's going to be Saturday the 5th of September. That morning, we've got a clean 6ft WNW swell with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the north. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there. That Saturday morning is the pick of the whole forecast, with clean conditions and decent energy in the water (718). It's a fairly consistent spot, St Tugen, and it's exposed to the swell, so when it's on, it's on.
After that, the surf drops off again. There's a glimmer of hope on the 13th of September, a Sunday morning, with a clean 4ft swell from the WSW and light offshore winds from the east. It's not a massive swell, but it'll be clean and the energy is moderate (203). The rest of the second week is mostly small and messy, with a few clean but tiny days. The long-range stuff on the 13th is promising, but it's a way off, so don't bank on it just yet.
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.
