The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking down the St Tugen outlook in feet and Fahrenheit.
It’s going to be a tough fortnight if you’re hoping for consistent surf. There are a few pulses of energy, but the wind gods aren’t playing nice for most of it. Let’s get into it.
The first real window is Monday, September 7th, in the afternoon. There’s a 6ft swell from the WSW, with a 13-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1109, so there’s plenty of grunt. The wind is a cross-shore from the NW at 15 km/h, stirring up a slight cross-chop. It’s surfable, not perfect. The water temp is 65°, which is about normal for the season.
From Tuesday the 8th through Friday the 11th, it’s mostly a mess. Tuesday morning has an 8ft swell, but with a gale-force NNW wind at 40 mph and a short period, it’s a washing machine. The rest of that stretch is plagued by onshore winds and dropping swell – mostly poor conditions.
Saturday the 12th offers a tiny, niche window. The morning brings a weak 2ft swell, but the wind is completely glassy – dead calm. The period is a super long 16 seconds. The energy is weak at 193, but if you’re on a longboard, that glassy, clean surface will be the only time you see proper lines that day. That afternoon, the swell picks up to 4ft with a long period, but the wind goes cross-onshore.
The clear standout of the entire 16 days is Tuesday, September 15th, in the afternoon. This is the one. Swell coming in at a solid 6ft from the WNW with an 11-second period. The combined energy cranks up to 1295 – that’s proper power. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NW at 16 mph, so the face will have a bit of texture, but the punch and size will make up for it. This is the day to circle. It’ll be too much for beginners, but for the crew who can handle it, this is the best on offer.
The second week fades out. Thursday morning the 17th has a clean-looking 5ft set with a light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds, so the waves might be gutless and crumbly. After that, it’s a long run of poor or marginal conditions right through to the end on the 22nd.
So, bottom line: one big day, one glassy morning for the patient longboarder, and a whole lot of waiting. The standout is undeniably Tuesday afternoon, the 15th.
Rusty.

Information about the St Tugen Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for St Tugen provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at St Tugen can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our St Tugen surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (St Tugen) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
