The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks down at St Tugen. To be honest with you, the first stretch is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, drawn-out period of small, weak surf and messy winds. The energy just isn’t there, and the swell direction is all over the place. It’s going to be a waiting game.
The first real pulse of anything that gets you interested doesn’t show up until Saturday the 15th. There’s a bit more push in the water, but the period drops right out, and it’s just a jumbled mess. Not worth paddling out for. We then get a couple of days of nothing much before things start to switch on around Monday the 17th. The swell bumps up to 4ft with a bit more period on it, and the combined energy is up there. The morning is looking clean with a light offshore wind, which is a big tick. It’s a start, but it’s not the big one.
The real standout, the one that has me checking the charts twice, is Wednesday the 19th of August. The swell is up to 5ft in the morning, building to 5ft in the afternoon, but the winds are going to be fresh and cross-off, which is a bit of a shame. The energy is strong, but the quality is going to be compromised. It might be more of a battle than a joy. The other one to keep an eye on is Friday the 21st. The swell is still a solid 5ft, and the energy is the highest we see. Again, the morning cross-off wind is a bit fresh, but the period is a bit better. It’s a proper, powerful swell that’s going to require a bit of respect. If you’re not confident in bigger, more powerful surf, this is one to watch from the beach.
All in all, the first week is a complete bust. The second week has a couple of promising days, but they look like they’ll be a bit rough around the edges. The cleanest windows look like they might be the mornings around the 17th and 18th, but they’re not the biggest. The bigger swells later in the week come with more wind. It’s not a classic forecast, but there are a couple of windows if you’re willing to work for it.
