The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. The only break on offer for the whole 16-day window is St Tugen.
First up, the water’s about average for this time of year, nothing wild happening there.
The first real sniff of something decent comes right at the start: Sunday the 13th is a write-off though. Monday the 14th is where it gets interesting. Monday morning, we’ve got a glassy clean 3ft swell from the west, period at 9 seconds. The energy’s moderate (222). It’s small and clean, a proper fun-size morning. Not a standout, just a nice little window.
The real standout in this whole run is Monday the 21st of September. That’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it. The morning session sets up with 6ft of WNW groundswell, period a very long 14 seconds, and combined energy is strong (1307). More importantly, the wind is offshore out of the ENE at 15 km/h. That’s clean, lined-up surf for experienced surfers. At 6ft, it’s not beginner territory, but for intermediates and up, this is the best-looking window in the whole 16 days. It’s a proper groundswell with that long period, so at a spot like St Tugen, which is exposed to the WSW, that WNW swell should wrap in nicely. It’s fairly consistent here, and crowds are sometimes an issue, so keep that in the back of your mind.
After that, things drop off. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd have small, clean waves but nothing special. By the 24th, the swell collapses into tiny stuff below 2ft. There’s a long flat spell from the 24th right through to the end of the 16 days – basically a week or more of nothing worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly small and average, with Monday the 21st as the clear standout. After the 23rd, it’s a full on flat spell. Set your alarm for the 21st.
