Table - best surf conditions forecast for St Tugen over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer for the region.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got St Tugen on the radar, but it’s a tough watch. The water is sitting at 65° – a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a small comfort.
The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, the 11th. We’ll see a waist-high 3ft swell from the west, rolling in with a 10-second period. The energy is weak, only about 128. The wind is light offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. If you’re desperate, you could get a few, but it’s nothing to write home about. After that, it pretty much tanks. The next week and a half is a write-off with tiny, wind-affected slop and onshore winds. There’s a long stretch from Saturday afternoon right through the following week where the conditions are just poor – no real push, and the wind is always on it or cross.
The one bright spot that’s worth keeping an eye on is late in the window. Around Wednesday the 22nd, the swell picks up a bit. We’re looking at a 3ft to 4ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy jumps to a moderate 196, so there’s some life in the water. The wind is a cross-off from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. The thing is, a 4ft swell with a 10-second period will be okay for intermediates, but it’s not going to blow your mind. The direction is WSW, which is the optimum for St Tugen, so the break should line up well. It’s a promising window, but it’s a long way off, so don’t book the time off work just yet. The crowds at St Tugen can be a factor sometimes, but with the quality on offer, it might not be so bad.
Other than that, it’s a flat spell. The setup is more interesting for the windsurfers than us paddle guys. Hang in there.
Rusty.

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.
