The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s some hope building for the second week. The water at St Tugen is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
The first real chance to get wet comes Friday morning, the 11th. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the W with a light N breeze keeping it cross-off. The energy is moderate (382), and the sets should be rideable. It’s not a classic, but it’s the first thing that’s really surfable.
Saturday morning the 12th is a bit smaller at 3ft from the W, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive for clean conditions, even if the swell is a bit weak (170). It’s an easy, fun little dawny for the intermediates.
The standout in the first week is Sunday morning the 13th. We’ve got a solid 5ft from the WNW with a 11-second period, which is a nice groundswell. The energy is strong (657), and the light cross-onshore wind is the only thing holding it back from perfection. It’s a good, powerful wave for the intermediate crew.
Now, hold on for the real gem. Wednesday the 23rd morning. This is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it looks special. A 5ft WNW swell with a 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell, and it’s going to have some grunt (1087). The wind is from the NNE at 12 mph, offshore, and clean. This is the best on offer, hands down. For experienced surfers only, as the swell is solid and the period is long, which will make it dumpy at the beach but unreal if you can find a bank. The energy is very strong.
Thursday the 24th morning is also a good backup, with a clean 5ft from the WNW and a very light ESE breeze, giving us clean conditions and moderate energy (619).
Other than that, the rest of the run is a bit of a write-off with strong onshores or gnarly cross-off winds making things messy. There’s a big gap of poor surf from the 14th right through to the 22nd, with only a few marginal sessions in between.
Rusty.
