The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about St Tugen in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, it's a grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a solid 8-day stretch of poor surf right from the start. The first real chance of a wave doesn't come until Sunday the 9th of August, and even then it's a bit of a gamble. The swell starts to build on Saturday the 8th, with waves up to 5 feet from the SW, but the wind is cross-on and the quality is poor, so don't expect much. The wait is stubborn.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. That's when we finally see a proper pulse of energy. The swell is pushing 7 feet from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 570. That's a decent bit of power. The wind is light from the SSE, making it a light cross-on, which is about as good as it gets for this stretch. That said, 7 feet is getting into the territory where only the experienced crew should be out there. The break is exposed to the swell, so it'll be handling that size. It's a fairly consistent spot, St Tugen, and it can get busy sometimes, so expect a few others with the same idea.
Before that, the water temp is sitting at 65.1°F with a normal anomaly, so it's about average for the time of year. After the Sunday, the surf drops off again quickly on the Sunday afternoon and into the next week, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The rest of the run is flat, tiny, or messy.
So, for the whole 16 days, you only have one real window: the morning of Sunday the 9th. That's your best bet. If you're a beginner, give it a miss. If you're keen on a paddle, just be aware it's pretty much a one-morning show.

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.
