The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let's talk about St Tugen. I gotta be straight with you – the next couple weeks are looking lean. A whole lot of nothing before we see one piece of action.
Right now and for the next week or so, it's a tough watch. From Thursday, July 30th, all the way through to Friday, August 7th, it's just small, weak surf. We're talking wave heights from about 1ft to 3ft, coming out of the WNW or NW with really short, weak periods. The wave energy is flat, barely registering. There are a few cleaner moments, like Friday morning, July 31st, with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just too small at around 3ft to get excited about. It's a paddling workout for nothing.
The one and only highlight, and this is more of a warning than a promise, is on Saturday, August 8th. We get a surge of SW swell that jumps up. Morning sees waves around 7ft, and by the afternoon it's pushing 8ft. That's a serious amount of water moving, with the wave energy jumping into the hundreds and then over a thousand. This is strictly for experienced surfers only, especially with the onshore and cross-onshore wind from the WSW that's going to mess up the surface. It's going to be a big, choppy, challenging mess. But if you're an expert and you want the biggest waves of the forecast, that's your day.
After that, it's back to tiny and poor all the way out.
Rusty.

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.
