The Lowdown
Right on, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one for the St Tugen area. The next week and a half is looking pretty flat and uninspiring, so we're really going to have to wait for the good stuff to arrive.
The forecast kicks off with a real dud. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the morning of Friday the 7th of August, there's barely a whisper of decent surf. Wind's a mess, swell is tiny, and the energy is weak (around 25 to 109 on the combined energy scale). It's a solid gap of about ten days where you wouldn't even bother waxing up. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Now, the real story is what happens on the morning of Friday the 7th of August. That's the standout. The stars finally align. We're looking at a clean 7ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. It's a touch over the 5ft mark, so it might be a bit much for total beginners, but for the rest of you, it's gold. The energy is a solid 500, which is strong. But the best part? A glassy, NNE wind at just 3 mph. That's the kind of wind that turns a rough day into a dream. Expect very good surf conditions. If you can get out there, do it.
The following morning, Saturday the 8th of August, is worth a mention too. It's still clean, with a nice 5ft swell from the WNW and a light offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph. The energy is still high at 451, and it's a solid secondary option, but it's not quite the peak of Friday.
After that, the swell slowly drops off and the winds turn sloppy again. The rest of the 16-day window looks pretty ordinary, with only small, choppy waves on offer. The 7th of August is your window. Don't sleep on it.
Rusty.
