The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this is a rough run for Lido Garda. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first real sniff of anything rideable comes on Tuesday, 18 August, but it’s a real tease. We’ve got a small 3ft swell from the WSW, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s weak and mushy. The combined energy is only 62, meaning it’s pretty weak. The wind is a light cross-off from the East, which is clean, but the wave quality is just ordinary. The water is sitting at 84°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s unusual, almost like bathwater. For a beginner, this might be a chance to get wet, but it’s not something to write home about.
That Tuesday afternoon and the rest of the week go downhill fast. We get a few mornings with glassy conditions, like on Thursday, 27 August, but there’s literally zero swell – the energy is 0. We’re talking about a flat lake. There’s a gap of several days with no surf worth mentioning. The only other tiny pulse comes on Saturday, 29 August, with a 0.7ft swell from the South, but again, it’s next to nothing and the wind is onshore. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. The consistency is poor, and the few waves that show up are tiny and weak. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Tuesday morning, 18 August, is your best bet, but keep your expectations low. It’s a classic flat spell for this lake, and we just have to wait for the forecasts to change.
Rusty.

Information about the Lido Garda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lido Garda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lido Garda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lido Garda 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 (Lido Garda) 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 Lido Garda 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.
