The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this into units you might be more used to.
First off, the next ten days or so are a real bummer. From now until the 27th of July, it’s a flat spell. Tiny waves, bumpy conditions, not worth getting wet for. The water’s a nice 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal, so at least the swim is good, but the surf? Nada.
The first sign of life comes on the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. St Tugen gets a 2ft swell from the WNW. It’s small, but the wind is light from the NNW, keeping it clean. The energy is still weak (84), so it’s barely surfable, but it’s a start.
Things pick up on the morning of Monday, the 27th of July. We’re looking at a 3ft WNW swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 157 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean. Not epic, but surfable, and with crowds only being "sometimes" an issue, you might have it mostly to yourself.
The real standout is the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. This is the one to aim for. St Tugen is gonna see a solid 6ft swell from the WNW, with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a huge 1155 (strong). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NW, making for clean, lined-up waves. At 6ft with that long period, this is for intermediate to expert surfers. The morning is the call; the afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-onshore wind.
The next morning, Friday the 31st of July, holds a similar 6ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is onshore from the WSW, ruining the quality. The energy is still strong at 862, but the conditions are poor. Skip it.
So, bottom line: wait out the flat spell, and the best bet is the morning of the 30th of July at St Tugen. That’s your shot.
