The Lowdown
Right, lets have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start at St Tugen. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy conditions to begin with. From Sunday the 19th right through the week, we’re looking at tiny little waves, mostly under 2 feet, with hardly any energy in the water. The combined energy of all swells is just a pitiful 32 (37) or less. There’s a lot of offshore wind, which is clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a real frustrating wait for something to happen.
Finally, there’s a bit of a pulse on Monday the 27th. The swell bumps up to 4 feet to 5 feet from the WNW, and the energy numbers start climbing – 255 (then 405) – but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not going to be pretty. That’s not the one.
The standout window, and I mean the real standout, is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. We get a proper 7 feet swell from the west, with a solid 10-second period, and the combined energy of all swells is a massive 1040. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north, and the report says it’s clean. That’s excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. This is a big, powerful swell, so it’s definitely for the crew who know what they’re doing. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The next morning, Wednesday the 29th, still has some juice. The swell drops to 5 feet from the NW, but the wind is a slight cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, and the energy is still a solid 342. It’s another good, clean option for the more experienced crew.
After that, it starts to fade again. Thursday and Friday have some surfable waves, but the quality drops right off with cross-shore winds and choppy conditions. The second week looks pretty grim, with onshore winds and small, poor-quality surf. So, for the whole 16-day window, the absolute best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 28th. It’s a proper session for the experts.

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.
