Lagart Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let’s see what we’ve got.

The next couple of weeks are looking pretty slim, to be honest. There's a bit of a flat spell on the horizon. We’re looking at a real gap in any decent swell, with only small, weak energy showing up. You might get lucky with a clean, tiny wave, but you’ll be working for it. The first few days are particularly poor, with the swell dropping off into next week. It's not until the final few days that we see a little pulse of energy, but it’s still nothing to write home about.

Looking at Lagart Point for the Sunday afternoon session on the 16th, there's a small 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 15-second period. The wind is glassy, coming from the WNW at 3 mph, which is just about as good as it gets for clean conditions. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 85°, so you'll be comfortable in boardshorts. The energy is moderate (346), and while it's small, that long period will give it some shape on the point. This is the best call of the whole window, and even then, it's a longboarder’s wave.

After that, the swell drops off and things get messy. The wind turns cross-on shore, chopping things up, and the swell energy drops into the weak zone (under 200). There are a few clean windows with light offshore winds, like Wednesday and Thursday mornings, but the swell is down to 2ft. You could get a knee-high slider on a longboard, but it’s very ordinary. The period stays decent for a while, but the size just isn’t there. The 23rd sees a long-period swell arrive, but it's tiny at 1ft and the 20-second period is just too long to do anything with such a small wave.

Then there’s a stretch from the 26th to the 29th where things just go flat. We’re looking at 1ft to 2ft waves with weak energy (under 160), and while some afternoons are glassy, the whole setup is just too small. This is the biggest gap in the action, and there is almost nothing on offer.

The last couple of days pick up slightly. The 29th and 30th see a small SSW swell build back to 2ft, with the period settling back to a more manageable 15-16 seconds. The energy climbs back into the moderate range (211 to 256). The 30th morning looks the cleanest, with glassy ENE wind. It's still small, but should provide a fun little wave on the point if the tide is right. The 31st has a bit more energy (332), but the wind turns onshore and the period is shorter, making it less appealing and look a bit more like a choppy mess.

So, if you're desperate, the first Sunday or the final Sunday morning are your only real chances at something clean, but don't expect much. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.
