The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here breaking down the next couple of weeks for St Tugen.
First few days are a total bust. Tiny, weak, and windy. Don't bother. Things start to get interesting towards the end of July.
The pick of the litter is Monday morning, July 27th. You’ve got a clean 5ft swell out of the WNW, with a 10-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore at 3 mph, just enough to keep the surface clean. The water is about 65°F, which is normal for the season. The energy is solid (437 combined energy), so the waves will have some punch. The afternoon turns choppy, so make it a dawn patrol.
Tuesday, July 28th is another beauty. The swell drops to about 4ft, but the wind goes dead calm. Glassy. That’s a rare thing. The swell is still a clean 10-second groundswell from the WNW with moderate energy (210). For a point like St Tugen, that long-period swell is going to draw in and give you some long, clean rides. You'll be trading a bit of size for absolute perfection.
After that, we hit a dry spell. From the 30th through the first week of August, the waves are tiny and weak. A lot of cross and onshore wind. There’s a glassy morning on August 1st, but the swell is only 2ft, so it’s a log or a mid-length kind of day.
Then, on Saturday, August 8th, there’s a late pulse. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the WSW with a 9-second period. The energy jumps to 493 (moderate) in the morning and 580 (moderate) in the afternoon. The wind is a clean cross-off from the N and NNW. The forecast is a bit iffy this far out, calling it "marginal," so keep an eye on it. If it fires, it’ll be the biggest surf of the whole window.
Bottom line: Monday, July 27th is the session to plan for. Good size, clean, solid energy. Tuesday, July 28th is the glassy, clean alternative. August 8th is a potential late wildcard.
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.
