Table - best surf conditions forecast for St Tugen over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the local area.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you: this is a grim stretch of forecasts. The next week and a half is looking like a proper write-off for any decent waves. We’re looking at a long, dry gap with no real surf to get excited about.
The first couple of days, starting Wednesday morning the 8th, we’ve got tiny 2.3ft swell from the west and glassy conditions at St Tugen, but it’s just not enough to get the heart pumping. The combined energy is weak (96). The water is sitting at 63.1°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The wind goes onshore and cross-offshore for the rest of the week and into the weekend, with swell bouncing between 1.3ft and 2.6ft. It’s all poor surf conditions. The combined energy is weak, never even cracking 150. Honestly, it’s not worth the paddle.
We then drift into a flat spell from Sunday the 12th through to the middle of the following week. The swell drops to 0.7ft. The combined energy numbers are down in the single digits and low tens. That’s barely a ripple.
Things start to look a bit more interesting on Thursday the 16th, but it’s a cruel tease. A bump of 4.3ft shows up from the WSW, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds, and the wind is smashing it from the west. The combined energy hits 101, but it’s a messy, cross-onshore chop. Forget it.
The one standout, and I mean the *only* one, shows up way out on Thursday the 23rd. We’ve got a solid pulse of 5.9ft from the northwest, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 669, which is a serious step up in power. The break is St Tugen, and it’s an exposed spot that handles a WSW swell direction best. This swell is coming from the NW, so it’s not the ideal angle, but there’s enough size to get some fun ones. The problem? The wind is cross-shore from the southeast at 16 mph, which will put a chop on the face. This is a promising but less certain call given it’s over two weeks out. If you’re an intermediate, this is your best shout, but keep an eye on the wind.
Bottom line: save your energy for that last week, everything before that is a hard pass.
