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.
