The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest, this is a rough patch for St Tugen. We’re looking at a solid week of onshore wind and choppy, poor conditions from the 26th of August through to about the 4th of September. The swell shows up, but the wind just tears it apart.
Water temp is 63°F, which is about 1°F cooler than average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just your standard summer feel.
The only real standout, the one you should pencil in, is the morning of Saturday, September 5th. That’s it. We’ve got clean conditions with a 4ft swell from the WNW, a 9-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph. The wave energy is moderate at 225. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you’ll snag a few. Just remember, crowds are possible here sometimes.
The afternoon of the 5th gets a bit cross-shore and messy, and the 6th and 7th are small and bumpy again. The 9th of September brings a little more size – 5ft from the NW – but it’s cross-on and the energy is moderate at 469. Still not clean. After that, it fades out. So, one clear window: Saturday morning, September 5th. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.

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.

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.
