The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Lagide (beach and reef) for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is 67°, which is a touch cooler than average, so a spring suit might be in order.
The first few days are a total bust. Thursday morning has rain showers with a messy 7ft W swell at a short 7-second period and a stiff cross-offshore wind. The energy is weak (474). It clears up in the afternoon but the wind goes cross, making it a choppy mess. Don't bother.
Friday morning shows a cleaner 7ft WNW swell with a much better 11-second period and strong energy (1121), but it's blowing straight onshore and the call is “marginal.” The afternoon is the same story. From Saturday all the way through the middle of the next week, it's just onshore wind from the north and small, weak swell. Despite the waves being around 3ft to 5ft, the constant onshore wind kills any chance of a good wave.
We've got a long dry spell until Saturday the 5th of September. That morning, we finally get glassy conditions with a clean 4ft NW groundswell at an 11-second period. The energy is moderate (579). That'll be a fun, clean session for a point or reef, with no wind to mess it up. Not huge, but a good paddle.
Now, the real gem is Sunday the 6th of September. We're looking at a 7ft NNW swell with an 11-second period, combined energy of 1008, and the wind is completely calm – totally glassy. That's powerful, clean surf. At this size and with that long period, it's going to be a heavy, fast wave. Best for experienced surfers. This is your top pick.
Monday the 7th of September morning is another great call: 6ft NW, 10-second period, and glassy again (694 energy). Another clean, solid session before the onshore wind kicks back in during the afternoon. After that, it's back to onshore wind and poor quality for the rest of the run.
Bottom line: The first week is a write-off. Circle Saturday the 5th for a clean, fun-size day, and Sunday the 6th of September for the powerful, glassy groundswell. That's where the magic is.
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.
