Table - best surf conditions forecast for St Tugen over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. We’re looking at Saint-Tugen, and it’s a slow start. The water is about 66°F, which is normal for the season, so no worries there.
From Monday the 10th through the weekend, it’s a flat spell. The swell is tiny, 2 to 4 feet, coming from the WNW, but the wind is a constant problem. Monday morning has a cross-off breeze and the swell is weak – combined energy is only 93. You’ve got a solid eight-day gap of nothing worth chasing.
The one bright spot is Wednesday the 19th. Morning brings a 3-foot swell from the WNW with an 11-second period, giving it some good shape. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, which is a big deal – the waves will be clean. The combined energy is 210 (moderate), and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the pick of the forecast. It’s not big, but it’s the only clean window. The break is exposed to the WSW, and the swell is coming from a good angle. It’s a fairly consistent spot, and you might see a few others out, but a midweek morning should be fine.
Things get interesting on the 23rd of August. The swell jumps to 8 feet from the WNW, but the wind is a strong 19 mph cross-off from the NNW. The combined energy is massive – 1287 in the morning and 2352 in the afternoon – but it’s going to be messy. That’s expert-only territory. Then on the 25th of August, you get a very long-period swell of 16 seconds at 2 feet from the WSW. That’s a groundswell, which can be tricky, but with light winds, it might be worth a look, though the conditions are still marginal.
Your best bet is the morning of the 19th. That’s the only real stand-out in the first two weeks. After that, it’s a mix of big, windy, or long-period leftovers.
