The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a real test of patience. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with very little to get excited about for the next 16 days. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 8th of August, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. So, we’ve got a solid gap of about a week at the start where there’s basically no surf worth paddling out for. The swell energy is weak, with most readings at the coast (67) or lower, and the wind is just never playing ball.
St Tugen is the only break on the radar, but it’s a tough one. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year (anomaly of 1°), so at least the water temps are pleasant.
The first real whisper of life comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning session is about the best of a bad bunch. We’re looking at a small 3ft swell out of the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. It’s not powerful, but the energy is just about moderate (120). The wind is a light cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The waves are surfable, but very ordinary. It’s a tiny window. The good news is the break is fairly consistent, but the crowds can be a problem here sometimes, so for a tiny wave like this, it might feel busy.
Sunday the 9th of August morning is a similar story. Another 3ft from the WSW, but with a slightly better 9-second period showing a bit more push. The combined energy is moderate (112), and the wind is light and cross-off, making it clean. Again, it’s surfable, but nothing special. It’s the same feel – small, clean, and ordinary.
Beyond that, we’re back into the doldrums. The swell drops off, the wind picks up, and it’s just a whole lot of nothing. The only real standout is the morning of the 8th and 9th, and that’s a very low bar. If you’re desperate for a paddle and a few small, clean waves, that’s your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
