The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for St Tugen. The next 16 days are a real mixed bag, with plenty of frustration and a couple of windows that look worth the wait. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The opening stretch is a write-off. Monday the 7th sees a solid 6ft swell from the WSW with a decent 13-second period, but it’s all cross-on wind and messy. The energy is pumping at 1210, but the quality is just not there. Tuesday the 8th is plain ugly, with a big 8ft W swell dropping to a short, choppy 8 seconds and howling wind. Don’t even think about it. The whole first week is a bust, with nothing but poor surf conditions and marginal calls until Saturday the 12th.
Saturday morning the 12th brings a brief moment of calm. A tiny 2ft swell from the west, but with glassy conditions. The energy is weak at 140, and it’s more of a recovery session for logs than anything serious. The morning is the only time to look, but it’s not a standout.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday the 15th. The morning session is the pick. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the WNW with a proper 12-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NE. That’s a solid recipe. The combined energy is a healthy 916, and the forecast is calling for “very good surf conditions.” This is the one. The swell direction is a perfect match for the break’s preferred WSW, and with offshore wind, it’ll be clean and lined up. Expect some good ones.
The following week is a bit of a lottery. Swell sticks around, with some big energy coming through on the 17th and 18th (over 2500 energy), but it’s all cross-on or onshore wind and messy. Not for the faint of heart. The 21st and 22nd see a shift to cleaner offshore winds from the NNE, but the swell is dropping and the energy is low. It’s a waiting game after that Tuesday.
So, my call: Tuesday morning, the 15th of September, is your best bet. Get on it.
Rusty.
