The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—looking at the next couple of weeks for St Tugen, it’s a rough start. We’ve got a lot of wind and messy conditions to wade through before we see anything worth waxing up for.
We’re looking at a blank stretch right out of the gate. From Friday the 28th of August through the whole weekend, it’s a write-off. Strong onshore winds, cross-on slop, and poor surf quality. Saturday morning is seeing a solid 8ft swell from the SW, but with a howling 28 mph onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine. The combined energy hits 774 (moderate), but you wouldn’t want to be out there. Sunday afternoon is even worse with a risk of thunderstorms and a short, choppy 7ft swell. This is a good week to stay on land.
The first real opportunity shows up on Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning session is the one to target. The wind swings to a light NNW at 3 mph, giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The swell is a modest 4ft from the W, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 281 (moderate). It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and surfable. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for the time of year.
The standout, and I mean the real standout of this entire forecast, is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning is looking glassy. The swell is 5ft from the WNW, with a long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is a solid 733 (moderate), and with a light NNW offshore breeze at 3 mph, this is going to be the cleanest, most lined-up surf we’ll see. The long period will give it some punch, but because it’s a beach break, it might wall up a bit. Still, this is the best on offer. The WNW swell direction is a near-perfect fit for what the spot likes.
After that, things fade. Sunday the 6th has clean conditions but the swell drops back to 3ft, and by the middle of the second week, we’re into small, weak surf. The morning of Wednesday the 9th of September is glassy, but with only 3ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s barely a log pond. The rest of the second week is a mix of onshore wind and tiny waves, with combined energy values dropping into the double digits. It’s a long, quiet period to end the run.
To sum it up: Tuesday the 1st of September morning is a decent warm-up, but mark your calendar for Saturday the 5th of September morning. That’s your window.
Rusty.
