The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this into units you might be more used to.

First off, the next ten days or so are a real bummer. From now until the 27th of July, it’s a flat spell. Tiny waves, bumpy conditions, not worth getting wet for. The water’s a nice 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal, so at least the swim is good, but the surf? Nada.

The first sign of life comes on the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. St Tugen gets a 2ft swell from the WNW. It’s small, but the wind is light from the NNW, keeping it clean. The energy is still weak (84), so it’s barely surfable, but it’s a start.

Things pick up on the morning of Monday, the 27th of July. We’re looking at a 3ft WNW swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 157 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean. Not epic, but surfable, and with crowds only being "sometimes" an issue, you might have it mostly to yourself.

The real standout is the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. This is the one to aim for. St Tugen is gonna see a solid 6ft swell from the WNW, with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a huge 1155 (strong). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NW, making for clean, lined-up waves. At 6ft with that long period, this is for intermediate to expert surfers. The morning is the call; the afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-onshore wind.

The next morning, Friday the 31st of July, holds a similar 6ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is onshore from the WSW, ruining the quality. The energy is still strong at 862, but the conditions are poor. Skip it.

So, bottom line: wait out the flat spell, and the best bet is the morning of the 30th of July at St Tugen. That’s your shot.

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.
