Table - best surf conditions forecast for St Tugen over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for St Tugen over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up – the first week and a bit is a proper write-off. We're looking at a solid gap from now right through until the morning of Saturday the 19th of July. That's a good six days of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly on it or cross-shore with chop. Just not worth the rubber.
Things start to twitch a little on the morning of Saturday the 19th. The wind goes clean, we get a bit of a cross-offshore breeze, and the swell picks up to 4ft but it's still a bit average. The combined energy is only 116 (weak). It's a "surfable but ordinary" kind of day. The morning of Monday the 21st is similar with a clean offshore wind from the NE at 12 mph, but again, it's marginal.
The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. That's over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it looks magic. We've got a solid 7ft swell from the WSW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 9 mph. The wave energy is pumping at 501 (moderate), and the conditions are described as "expect very good surf conditions." That's a green light for a proper session.
But the absolute best on offer is the morning of Monday the 27th of July. This one is for the experienced crew only. We're looking at a 8ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at just 6 mph. The combined energy is a massive 2468 (strong). That's serious grunt. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. This one is a true standout, but it's big, so leave the mini-mal at home.
The Tuesday the 28th of July morning is still a good option, with a drop to a still-juicy 5ft from the WNW and clean conditions again, but it won't have the same raw power as the Monday.
So, bottom line: suffer through the first week, keep your eyes on the 26th, and circle the 27th for the big one.
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. 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.
