The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at St Tugen over the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve got a bit of a quiet start to the forecast. Nothing worth paddling out for on Thursday or Friday – the wind is messy and the swell is weak and short period. You’re better off waxing your board at home.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday, September 5th. The morning is looking like the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 7ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a beautiful long period of 13 seconds pushing in a lot of energy (1209). With a light easterly breeze keeping it glassy, this is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The wave energy is strong, and that long period means the waves will have some real shape and power. If you’re an intermediate or above, this is your window. The afternoon drops off a bit, turning more marginal, so get in early.
Sunday the 6th is a write-off – the swell drops right off and the wind swings around, making it choppy and poor.
The next glimmer of hope is Monday, September 7th. Another big pulse of swell hits, with a 7ft W groundswell and a huge energy reading (1318). The problem? The wind is a moderate cross-shore breeze, which is going to put a bit of a chop on the face. It’s on the edge of being good, but it’s probably only for the dedicated crew who don’t mind a bit of bump. The afternoon is similar, just slightly smaller.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th are marginal at best – the wind is never quite clean, and the swell is either too short period or too onshore to get excited about.
We’ve got a bit of a dry spell from the 10th through the 13th, with mostly poor to marginal conditions. The swell sticks around, but the wind keeps it choppy and ugly.
The last decent chance you’ll see in this window is on Monday, September 14th and Tuesday, September 15th mornings. We’re looking at a clean 4ft W swell on Monday morning with a light north-northeasterly giving us a clean face. Tuesday morning is even better for wind, with a light easterly offshore breeze and a 4ft W swell. The energy is moderate, but the conditions will be clean for a fun, manageable session. Wednesday morning, September 16th, is also looking clean with a light offshore from the ESE and a 4ft W swell.
Honestly, if you’re only picking one session, make it Saturday morning, September 5th. That’s the one that has the size, the power, and the cleanest wind. The following week has a few clean mornings, but the swell is smaller and less punchy.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, and I’ll catch you in the water.

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.
