The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at St Tugen are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands, so don’t bother rushing down with your board just yet.
We’re starting off on Tuesday the 4th of August with a weak 4ft WSW swell, but it’s getting hammered by a strong onshore wind, making for pretty ordinary conditions. The combined energy is only 177, so there’s not much behind it. Wednesday the 5th sees a bit more size, hitting 5ft, but the wind is all over the place – cross-onshore and cross-shore – creating a messy chop. The energy bumps up to 208-249, but the quality is just not there.
Thursday the 6th drops right off, with tiny 3ft waves and even less energy (87-96). You’ll be bobbing around more than surfing. Friday the 7th is a tease – glassy conditions in the morning with a light NE breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The energy is a weak 30. That glassy morning is about the only highlight for the first week, and it’s not saying much.
We basically go through a whole week of tiny, poorly shaped waves. Saturday the 8th has a long-period 12-second pulse from the WNW, but it’s only 0.6ft. That’s a ghost swell. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the 14th of August, a Friday. We get a 4ft W swell with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW. The energy picks up to 285, and the morning looks clean. It’s still only marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Then Saturday the 15th has a 5ft W swell, but with a cross-shore wind and a period of only 8 seconds, it’s going to be a bit of a bumpy, short-period mess. The energy is 284. It’s not great, but for this stretch, it’s the only window that might be worth a look.
After that, it drops back down to dribble. A few small glassy mornings on the 17th, but with 2ft swell, it’s a paddle and a prayer. The final day on the 19th has a 4ft WNW swell with 9-second period and 172 energy, but with a cross-shore wind, it’s just another day of poor conditions.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the dawn patrol on Friday the 14th or Saturday the 15th of August is your only shot. Keep your expectations on the floor. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
