The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up.
First off, the honest truth: this stretch is a tough one for us. For the first week and a half or so, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. The forecast is filled with onshore crud, choppy conditions, and small, weak surf. It’s the kind of period where you’re better off fixing dings or taking the dog for a walk. Between now and the end of August, there’s a solid block of days with poor surf conditions across the board.
The only glimmer comes on Tuesday, the 1st of September. That morning, the wind flips around to a light cross-offshore from the north at 6 mph, and the water goes glassy clean. The swell is small at 4 ft out of the west on a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (238). The water temperature is about average for the time of year. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’s the only session in the entire 16 days that looks like you’ll actually get a clean wave. That makes it the standout, even if it’s a quiet one.
Following that, we see a few more days of surfable but very ordinary conditions on the 5th of September, with clean winds and small 3 ft west swell, but the energy is weak (115). Then the wind gets messy again.
So, the long and short of it: hold out for the morning of Tuesday, 1st September at St Tugen. Get there early, enjoy the clean conditions, and make the most of that small west swell. It’s the only real window in the whole run.
Rusty.

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.
