The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for this stretch of coast in feet and miles per hour.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a grind. There’s nothing that jumps out as a real standout session, and we’ve got a long run of days where the conditions just aren’t cooperating. The first real chance to even get wet is on the morning of Thursday the 13th at St Tugen, and even that’s a marginal one. We’re looking at a 3 ft swell from the west with a period of 11 seconds, which gives us some energy (243) but the wind is a cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’s clean. However, the report flags it as questionable due to tide, so keep your expectations low.

That little window fades fast. Thursday afternoon and all of Friday, the 14th, the swell drops to around 3 ft to 3 ft, and the wind picks up and turns more cross, making things ordinary to poor. We then hit a real dead zone from the 15th right through to the 25th of August. That’s a solid 10-day stretch where every session is rated as poor. The swell is mostly small, under 3 ft, and when it does try to push a little—like on the morning of the 20th with a 5 ft swell from the WNW (283 energy)—the wind is cross or cross-on, messing it up. The period is short too, mostly between 5 and 10 seconds, so it’s not holding much shape.

There’s a slight tease on the morning of the 21st of August. Swell bumps to 5 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and energy jumps to 411. The wind is light and cross from the NW at 9 mph, so it’s gentle cross-shore with only a slight chop. The report still calls it marginal, but if you’re keen, that might be the cleanest wave of the whole run. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the best of a bad bunch.

After that, it drops right off again. The end of the run, from the 27th onward, has tiny 1.0 ft to 2 ft swells with very weak energy (48 to 76). That’s basically flat, with a bit of cross or cross-on wind. No real surf to speak of.

So, the takeaway? There are no true standouts in this 16-day window. The only half-decent option is the morning of the 21st of August at St Tugen, with that 5 ft WNW swell and light cross wind. It’s not going to be perfect, but it’s the only day worth paddling out. For the rest, save your energy or pick a different hobby for a while.

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.

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.
