The Lowdown

Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day picture for the Saint-Tugen area, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The forecast is stacked with poor surf conditions day after day, with only a couple of very ordinary, barely surfable moments. Let’s walk through it.

The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t come until Saturday, 22nd August. Saturday morning, the wind goes glassy from the north at just 3 mph, which is a real treat for conditions. The swell is small, though, at 2 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (103). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temperature is 66°, which is 0.9° warmer than average for this time of year, so nothing unusual.

Then there’s a long gap. Sunday, 23rd August, the afternoon brings a tiny 3 ft from the NNW with a period of only 5 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the NE at 12 mph. That’s clean, but the swell is so weak and short-period it’s barely worth paddling out for. That’s again surfable but very ordinary. Combined energy is still weak (81).

After that, it’s back to poor surf conditions for over a week. The swell tries to build a bit around 20th and 21st August, with 5 ft to 7 ft from the WNW, but the wind is fresh cross-onshore and lumpy, making a mess of it. The combined energy gets up to 725 on Thursday afternoon, 20th August, which is moderate to strong, but the wind and chop ruin it.

The only other notable moment comes on Saturday, 29th August, when the morning has a clean, cross-off wind from the east at 19 mph, with a tiny 2 ft from the west at 8 seconds. Again, just ordinary. The afternoon sees moderate offshore wind from the NE at 16 mph, with the same tiny 2 ft. It’s clean, but there’s no push.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The 22nd August morning glass-off is probably the best of a very poor bunch, but with only 2 ft and weak energy, it’s more of a longboard or foiling day than a proper surf. The rest is a lot of waiting.

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.
