The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for St Tugen.
The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of onshore wind and chop to start, but there are a couple of windows that look like they’ll really fire. A solid groundswell arrives in the second week. For the first few days, it’s going to be a wait-and-see game.
Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th are a write-off. The wind is blowing straight on from the SW and W, creating messy, poor surf conditions. The waves are around 4ft, but with a short, weak period of 8 seconds and a combined energy reading of just 183 to 355, it’s not worth paddling out.
Saturday 5th September is the first real standout. The morning is looking clean with a light E breeze, cross-offshore. The swell jumps to 7ft from the WNW, with a solid 13-second period. The combined energy is a strong 1247. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, very clean. The afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 6ft, and the wind swings NW, going cross-shore, which adds a little texture.
Sunday 6th and Monday 7th are a step back. The swell drops and the wind picks up, giving us poor to marginal conditions. Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th are not much better – the swell is there but the wind is messy.
Thursday 10th and Friday 11th are more of the same with strong winds and poor surf. A bit of a flat spell rolls in over the weekend of the 12th and 13th.
Now, the real gold is at the end of the window. Tuesday 15th September is a standout. The morning is clean with a moderate offshore breeze from the NE. The swell is 4ft from the W, but check the period: a massive 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a whopping 1080. The water temperature is 64°, which is about average for this time of year. This one is worth waiting for, but heads up – the afternoon gets a bit choppy with a cross-offshore breeze.
Wednesday 16th September is looking like the best of the bunch. The morning is glassy with a light E breeze, cross-offshore. The swell is 6ft from the W, with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 1352. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will have plenty of punch and shape, and the offshore wind will keep them clean. Just be aware that this spot is exposed to a WSW optimum, so the W swell is a good match.
Thursday 17th September morning is a treat – glassy conditions with a 3ft W swell, but it’s small for the experienced crew.
So, the best bets are the mornings of Saturday 5th, Tuesday 15th, and Wednesday 16th September. The last two are the standouts for the whole outlook. Expect some crowd at this spot, especially on the good days, as it’s a known spot.
Rusty.
