The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day picture for the Saint-Tugen area, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The forecast is stacked with poor surf conditions day after day, with only a couple of very ordinary, barely surfable moments. Let’s walk through it.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t come until Saturday, 22nd August. Saturday morning, the wind goes glassy from the north at just 3 mph, which is a real treat for conditions. The swell is small, though, at 2 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (103). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temperature is 66°, which is 0.9° warmer than average for this time of year, so nothing unusual.
Then there’s a long gap. Sunday, 23rd August, the afternoon brings a tiny 3 ft from the NNW with a period of only 5 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the NE at 12 mph. That’s clean, but the swell is so weak and short-period it’s barely worth paddling out for. That’s again surfable but very ordinary. Combined energy is still weak (81).
After that, it’s back to poor surf conditions for over a week. The swell tries to build a bit around 20th and 21st August, with 5 ft to 7 ft from the WNW, but the wind is fresh cross-onshore and lumpy, making a mess of it. The combined energy gets up to 725 on Thursday afternoon, 20th August, which is moderate to strong, but the wind and chop ruin it.
The only other notable moment comes on Saturday, 29th August, when the morning has a clean, cross-off wind from the east at 19 mph, with a tiny 2 ft from the west at 8 seconds. Again, just ordinary. The afternoon sees moderate offshore wind from the NE at 16 mph, with the same tiny 2 ft. It’s clean, but there’s no push.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The 22nd August morning glass-off is probably the best of a very poor bunch, but with only 2 ft and weak energy, it’s more of a longboard or foiling day than a proper surf. The rest is a lot of waiting.
