Table - best surf conditions forecast for St Tugen over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for St Tugen. We’ve got a long run of small, ordinary surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too early. It’s basically a waiting game for the end of the month.
The pattern for the next couple of weeks is pretty flat and uninspiring. The swell is small, the wind is mostly on it or cross, and the scores are low. You’re looking at a good 13 days of barely surfable waves before things finally show a pulse.
From Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 25th, it’s a grind. We’re talking waist-high dribble at best, with a lot of that energy being weak, under 100 (54 is the highest early on). Winds are mostly cross-off or cross-on, which keeps things a bit messy, but it’s not like there’s any real swell to work with anyway. The first real glimpse of something happens on Saturday morning the 25th. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the west, period a weak 10 seconds, but the wind is a light north breeze at 3 mph, making it glassy and clean. The energy is still only 64, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but don’t expect much.
The real standout, and the only one worth marking on the calendar, arrives on Monday morning the 27th of July. The water temp is about normal for the time of year at 64°F. Finally, a proper pulse of energy shows up – a 6ft west-southwest swell with a 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 439, which is moderate. The wind is light from the northwest at 6 mph, giving us a light cross-shore with small ripples. This is the one to watch. It’s not huge, but it’s a real step up from the weeks of nothing. The afternoon pushes it to 7ft and 637 energy, but the wind picks up to a moderate 12 mph cross-shore, so that morning window is your best bet. It’s a bit of a close-out risk at a beach break with that short period, but for St Tugen, this is the wave of the forecast.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the flat spell, maybe get a little slide on the 25th, and aim everything at the morning of the 27th.
Rusty.
