The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Saint-Tugen area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a pretty frustrating stretch we’re looking at. The first few days are a real write-off, with next to nothing worth getting wet for. The first real chance of a surf doesn’t show up until Sunday morning, August 9th, which leaves a long gap of about a week with very poor conditions. We’ll be waiting a while.
The only standout on the whole chart is that Sunday morning, August 9th, at St Tugen. The swell is coming from the WSWSW direction at 4 ft, pushing moderate wave energy (201) through the water. The wind is a light NNW breeze, blowing nicely offshore, which should keep the surface clean. It’s a fairly consistent spot, and the optimum swell direction matches, so it should start to shape up. It’s an exposed break, so it’ll catch the energy, but that 4 ft is a nice size, not too big for intermediates, and the clean conditions are a major plus. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
After that, the surf drops off again. There’s a slightly cleaner morning on Wednesday, August 12th, with a 4 ft swell from the west and a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is still moderate (205), but it’s not as clean as the Sunday window. The second week is lean, with more onshore and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The later days from the 13th to the 16th are plagued by strong winds and choppy, lumpy conditions, with the swell size hovering around 4 ft to 4 ft but the wind is just too strong and onshore. With the wind howling from the W and WSW at 19 mph, it’s looking more like a session for the kite surfers than a paddle-out.
So, bottom line: if you’re free on the morning of Sunday, August 9th, get on it. That’s the window. The rest of the period is a dud. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
