The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We're looking at a pretty bleak run for the next week and a half at St Tugen. Honestly, the first week is a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is a mess. There's a glimmer of hope right at the end, but you'll need to be patient.

For the first few days, from Thursday the 27th of August right through to the following Tuesday, the 1st of September, it's just poor. The swell is short-period windswell, mostly from the SW and W, under 3 ft, with energy readings that are weak to moderate (99 to 268). The water's sitting at 63°, which is about normal for the time of year. The southwesterly winds are just ruining everything. Don't even bother.

We get a tiny, tiny window on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell drops off to 3 ft from the WNW, but the wind goes glassy. The energy is weak (97). It's surfable, but just barely. It's a "check the webcam" kind of morning, not a call in sick kind of morning.

Things get messy again for a few days, with a pulse of bigger, but wind-affected, WSW swell coming through the 3rd and 4th. It's not until Friday the 4th of September morning that we get our first real standout. The wind swings clean offshore from the NNW, a light breeze of 6 mph. There's a 6 ft, moderate energy (643) swell from the WNW with a 10-second period. The water is clear. This is the cleanest, most promising session in the whole forecast. It's a solid intermediate wave, but the 10-second period and cross-offshore wind will make for some well-shaped, clean lines. Friday afternoon is a bit more marginal with a cross-shore wind.

Then we get another short window on Sunday the 6th of September morning. The wind is glassy again, with a 4 ft, moderate energy (337) groundswell from the W at 10 seconds. It's a good option, but the Friday morning is the better bet.

The second week remains tricky. The standout is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. The wind turns clean and offshore from the NNE, blowing lightly at 6 mph. There's a 7 ft, moderate energy (360) swell from the W, but it's got a short period of 7 seconds. It'll be a bit crumbly, but the offshore wind will definitely clean it up. The previous morning, Tuesday the 8th, and the following Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th also have cross-offshore winds, which keeps the surf clean, but the swell direction and quality is just marginal.

To sum it up, the best bet is the morning of Friday the 4th of September. If you miss that, the glassy Sunday morning or the offshore Wednesday morning the 9th are your next best shots.

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.
