The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down Lagide.
Right off the bat, it’s pretty bleak. The first week or so is a long stretch of poor conditions and junk surf. You’re looking at a lot of days with onshore wind, chop, and weak swell, nothing worth paddling out for until we get into the second week.
One standout pops up way down the line. On Monday morning, September 7th, it all comes together. You’ve got a clean 1.7m swell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, moderate energy (926), and a light cross-offshore wind out of the SW. That’s a proper surfable window for the advanced crew. The afternoon of that same day brings a very long period swell from the WNW at 0.9m, 20-second period, but it’s a waiting game. That groundswell will wrap around the reef, and with a gentle cross-offshore breeze, the sets that do come will be smooth and lined up.
Your only other half-decent look is Sunday morning, September 6th. The wind goes glassy with a 1.8m NNW swell, though the period is a short 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 495. At least the surface will be flat, but don’t expect much push.
Water’s running at 18°, about 2° colder than usual, so you’ll want a thicker suit.
Lagide is a beach and reef break, fairly exposed, and the best swell direction here is NNW, which is what the good windows show. Crowds are often, so on the clean morning of the 7th, expect company.
Bottom line: hold out for that Monday morning, September 7th. Everything before that is a hard pass for a paddle.
Rusty.

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