The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what St Tugen has in store over the next couple weeks.
It’s a slow start, no lie. The first few days are basically a write-off, so don’t rush to wax up. The first real chance to paddle out is just a tease, but the good stuff doesn’t really hit until the second week.
Saturday the 12th morning: tiny 3ft swell from the W, with a period of 8 seconds. Wind is glassy, WSW at 3 mph, so it’s clean but weak. The combined wave energy is weak at 170. You could surf it, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Sunday the 13th: the swell picks up to 5ft from the WNW, with an 11-second period. Energy is moderate at 669, but the wind is cross-onshore from the WSW at 9 mph, making it choppy. Marginal at best.
Wednesday the 16th afternoon: this is where it gets real. A solid 7ft swell from the NW, 10-second period, with strong energy at 1809. Wind is clean, cross-off from the NNW at 16 mph. That’s a heavy wave – 7ft is for experts only. If you’ve got the skills, this is your first real standout.
Now, mark your calendar for Wednesday the 23rd morning. This is the best of the whole forecast. Swell is 6ft from the W, with a long 14-second period – groundswell with serious punch. The combined energy is very strong at 1190. Wind is light and clean from the E at 6 mph, cross-off. It’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. Over 5ft but under 8ft, it’s a big, clean, powerful day. Long period like this works best at a point or reef. Crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.
Thursday the 24th morning is a nice follow-up: 4ft from the W, 11 seconds, glassy WSW wind at 3 mph. Clean, moderate energy at 441. Good for intermediates who missed the big swell.
The end of the forecast fades out again with small, weak swell and windy conditions through the 25th and 26th, so don’t hold your breath.
Water temperature is about 64°F, right around average for this time of year. You’ll be fine in a spring suit.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at St Tugen can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
