The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie, 'cause I'm lookin' at the charts for St Tugen and it's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. We've got a little tease of some solid swell, but the windows of opportunity are pretty narrow. Let's break it down.

The first real chance to get wet that's worth paddling out for isn't until Monday the 7th of September. We've got some decent swell pushing in – around 6 ft from the WSW – and what's key here is that the period is a juicy 13 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and you can feel it in the water. The combined energy is strong. Monday morning has a cross-on wind which makes things a bit lumpy, but by the afternoon, the wind shifts to a clean, cross-off shore from the NNW. That's the ticket. The waves will be much cleaner, holding that shape. Monday afternoon is looking like the standout of this first push.

Tuesday the 8th gets messy. That same 6 ft swell hangs around, but a strong cross-onshore wind from the WNW at 15 mph and then a fresh breeze up to 22 mph turns it into a washing machine. Choppy, lumpy, not worth your time. Wednesday and Thursday are more of the same with onshore winds and poor surf conditions. Honestly, it's a write-off for a few days.

Now, look ahead to the weekend. Sunday the 13th of September has some potential. We see another pulse of WSW groundswell, 5 ft with an 11-second period. The combined energy is solid. The wind is light, just a slight air from the SSE in the morning, making for only small wind ripples. It's a cross-on breeze, so not glassy, but light enough that the waves should be workable. Keep an eye on the morning session. It's a marginal call, but it's the best we've seen in a few days.

Then we hit another lull. From Monday the 14th through to the 18th, the swell drops off and the wind is all over the place. We get a few glimpses of clean conditions, like Monday afternoon the 14th with a cross-off NNW wind, but the swell is small and weak, around 4 ft to 4 ft. The energy is low. It's not gonna be firing.

The next real event is the final Monday of the forecast, the 21st of September. Monday morning shows a building swell, 8 ft from the W, but the period is a short 8 seconds. It'll be a bit bumpy with a gentle cross-shore wind. The real headline, however, is Monday afternoon. That's when a solid 12 ft swell from the W rolls in, with a 12-second period. The combined energy is massive. But here's the kicker: the file says it's predicted to be too big for this break. This is heavy, expert-only territory. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it's not going to be perfect, but for those with the skill and the nerve, this is a powerful, heavy day. If you're not on a gun and not ready for a proper hold-down, give this one a miss.

So, to sum it up: Monday afternoon the 7th is your best bet for clean, solid surf. Keep Sunday the 13th in mind for a lighter session. And for the big dogs, Monday the 21st afternoon is a serious proposition, but only if you know what you're doing.

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.
