The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the St Tugen area.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch. The first week is a total write-off for any decent surf. From now through the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th of July, it’s all tiny, weak, and wind-blown crap. The combined energy of all swells is in the low double digits – 38, 22, 26 – that’s just nothing. You’d be wasting your time.
The one real shot, and it’s a slim one, is the morning of Monday, July 27th. The swell bumps up to 1.3m from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s moderate energy (274) and the wind is a light N’ly breeze, blowing offshore. It’ll be glassy clean. The forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions,” which is a relief. The water temp is 65°F, which is just normal for the season. After that, the wind switches and the quality drops right off.
The rest of the run into August is a mess of onshore wind and cross-chop. We get a bit of size on the 26th with 1.4m, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. The 31st of July morning has a 1.0m from the SW, but it’s a short-period wind swell at 6 seconds, and a strong breeze blows it out. The 2nd of August morning has 1.2m from the WSW, but it’s still not clean enough to get excited about. The energy numbers are moderate, like 203 on the 26th, but it’s always the wind that ruins it.
So, the only standout is Monday morning (27th of July) at St Tugen. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you’ll get a wave. The swell is 1.3m from the WNW, a good size for intermediates, and the light offshore wind will make it clean. Expect some company, as crowds are “sometimes” a thing here. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best you’re going to get in this window. For the rest of it, you’re better off staying home.
Rusty.
