Right, grab a coffee and settle in, 'cause this forecast for St Tugen is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s a proper waiting game.
To be brutally honest, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak swell and generally ordinary conditions. There is a big gap with no real recommendations. You’ll be looking at days of onshore breezes, cross-off winds, and waves that just don’t have any push. The combined swell energy is struggling to get past triple digits most days, sitting in the weak to moderate range – we’re talking 76 (weak), 96 (weak), 118 (moderate) on the best few mornings. The water’s sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be bothered about that when the waves are flat.
Things start to get interesting around Thursday, July 17th morning. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the W with cross-shore winds. The combined energy jumps to 260 (moderate), but it’s still considered marginal. This isn't your day to shine, but it’s a sign of something moving.
The real stand-out window, and the only one I’d genuinely get excited about, is Monday, July 20th morning. This is the pick of the whole outlook. The swell holds at 6 ft from the W, and with a N wind at just 3 mph – basically glassy – it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is a solid 387 (moderate). It’s the first time the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” The Tuesday, July 21st morning adds more size with 8 ft from the WNW, but with a cross-shore wind and a combined energy of 979 (strong), it’s a bit more of a beast. That one is pushing into the "experts only" territory. Keep an eye on that Monday.
So, in short: be patient. The first week is a drought. The best bet is that Monday the 20th session. It’s not huge, but it will be clean and surfable.

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.
