The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, let's talk about the same stretch in feet and knots.

So, the first chance to get a wave isn't until Saturday the 5th of September, so we’ve got a couple of days of flat water. The standout is Saturday morning at St Tugen. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, with a long 13-second period between sets. That’s a lot of power, with a combined energy reading of 1243. The wind is a light Easterly breeze, blowing cross-offshore, so the waves will be clean and peeling. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. The water is 64°, which is about average for the time of year.

Saturday afternoon drops to 6ft, and the wind turns a bit cross-on, so the morning is the call. Sunday is a mess with a smaller, weaker swell and choppy wind. Monday the 7th has a new swell of 6ft to 6ft from the W, with a solid 12 to 13-second period. The energy is strong (1121 and 1048), but the wind is cross-on to cross, making it a bit lumpy. It’s surfable for the experienced crew, but not as clean as Saturday.

After that, it’s a long, ugly stretch. From Tuesday the 8th right through to the 14th, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on with moderate to fresh breezes. The swell is small to medium with short, weak periods. The 14th of September has a tiny, glassy 2ft wave, but it’s barely a ripple.

The second week has a few possibilities. The 16th of September shows a 6ft WNW swell with a 10-second period and a cross-offshore wind, giving clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (508). It’s an option, but not a standout. The 19th of September has a small 3ft WNW swell with a clean offshore NE wind, but it’s weak.

Bottom line: the only real day to get excited about is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. If you can’t make that, you’re probably looking at a lot of time on the sand. The gap from the 8th to the 14th is a real dead zone.

Rusty.

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.
