The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, this stretch around St Tugen is looking pretty flat and quiet for the most part. We’ve got a long, drawn-out period of small, weak swell with mostly poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any hero sessions. The first real surf of note doesn’t show up until the very end of the forecast.
We start off with a whole lot of nothing. From Tuesday the 14th right through to Wednesday the 23rd, the swell is tiny, generally around 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the teens to low 70s. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Thursday the 16th, Saturday the 18th, and Tuesday the 21st, with light offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to make it worthwhile. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one worth talking about, appears on the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the W, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined swell energy of 407 (moderate to strong). The wind is light from the SSW, blowing directly onshore, which is a bit of a shame. That onshore wind will make it lumpy and messy, so it’s not going to be perfect. The forecast says “marginal surf forecast,” and I’d agree. It’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but the wind is a letdown. For a break that’s exposed to a WSW optimum, that W swell is okay, but it’s not a clean setup. This one is for the keen locals who don’t mind a bumpy surface.
Crowds at St Tugen are listed as “sometimes,” so mid-week in late July, you might have a few others around, but it won’t be a zoo.
Overall, it’s a pretty bleak run. The first two and a half weeks are a write-off unless you’re happy on a longboard in tiny, weak stuff. The only real spike is that Wednesday the 29th, but the wind spoils it. Hang tight, and check back in a few days—forecasts can change.
