The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. This is a tricky stretch for St Tugen, no doubt. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we're going to have to be patient. For the vast majority of the time, the surf is just not cooperating. There’s a long, flat, and messy run in the middle that you’ll want to skip. The one real spark of life is a short window right in the middle of the period, but even that’s a brief tease. It’s not a total write-off for the diehards, but the vibes are mostly about waiting for the next proper swell.

The first few days, from the 16th to the 20th, are all poor. We're seeing small, short-period swell, mostly in the 1ft to 4ft range, with weak to moderate energy (28-363). Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, which chops things up. The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." Not worth getting wet for.

Then, on the morning of Friday the 21st, there's a glimmer. The swell is still only 4ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, so it's a bit soft, but the wind drops to nothing – completely glassy. The energy is moderate (283). For a few hours, it’s clean, and the comment even says "expect good surf conditions." That’s our best bet for the entire stretch. It’s not going to be epic, but it will be the only time it’s truly clean. After lunch, the wind picks up and it goes messy again.

From the 22nd through the 30th, it's a wasteland. Swell heights stay below 4ft, often much smaller, with weak energy. There are a few days with offshore winds, like the 23rd and 24th, but the swell is tiny, and on the 24th it's blowing a strong 28 mph from the NE, which will make it impossible to paddle into. It’s a lot of work for nothing.

The period ends with a small pulse on the 31st, with 3ft and moderate energy (161). The wind is cross-off and it's clean. It's the second-best option of the whole window, but it’s still very small and the comment only rates it as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." A quiet way to end, for sure.

So, your only real window of opportunity is the glassy morning of the 21st. If you can get out, you’ll have the place to yourself. Otherwise, this is a time for checking the charts and working on your pop-up.

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.
