The Lowdown

Alright, mate, let’s talk the same forecast but in feet and Fahrenheit for you. St Tugen is lookin’ at a real quiet spell for the first week and a half. From now until the 8th of August, it’s flat. Swell heights are barely a foot or two, and the wave energy is weak – mostly under 100 (weak) on the scale. The wind is messy, even when it’s clean, there’s just no punch in the water. It’s a bit of a kiting setup if you’re into that, but for a surfer? You’re better off stayin’ home.
Then, on the 9th of August (Sunday), we get a sudden spike to about 7 feet from the WSW. The period is short at 8 seconds, the wind is cross-on, and the energy jumps to 928 (moderate). It’s got size, but it’s gonna be choppy and a bit of a handful. Not the cleanest, but if you’re an experienced local, you might get a few messy ones.
The real gold is on the morning of the 11th of August (Tuesday). That’s the day. Swell hits 2.2m (about 7 feet) from the west, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1493 (strong). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW at just 15 km/h, so the waves are gonna be smooth and lined up. The guidance says “excellent for experienced surfers” – and that’s because 7 feet is a solid step up, not for the groms. The direction (W) is a great match for the optimum WSW, so it’ll wrap in nicely. Paddling out will be a workout with that energy, but the sets will be long and worth it. Crowds are possible at St Tugen, so get there early.
Water temp is 19°C (about 66°F), which is normal for the season – no thick rubber needed.
The afternoon of the 11th fades out as the wind shifts. So, if you’ve got one day, make it the morning of the 11th. The rest is a long stretch of flat.

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.
