The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you about Lagide. This is a beach and reef setup for advanced surfers only, and it's fairly consistent but the forecast for the next 16 days is a tough one. The water's sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker spring suit.
The first week is a real write-off. We start Wednesday, August 19, with a tiny 3ft NNW swell, but the cross-shore wind and the poor conditions mean there's just nothing to ride. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a weak 96, and it doesn't get any better. Thursday and Friday are a no-go, with onshore winds and bigger swells up to 7ft, but the wind is smashing it up. The weekend of August 22 sees a bump in energy – Saturday morning has a 6ft NNW swell with moderate energy (556) – but the cross-on wind and marginal conditions mean it's a struggle. Sunday afternoon offers a bit of hope with a 5ft W swell and offshore wind, which cleans it up, but the heavy rain and only marginal quality keep it from being a real standout.
The following week is a long, frustrating gap. From Monday, August 24, right through to the end of the month, the conditions are poor or marginal. Monday has a 6ft WSW swell with moderate energy (413), but the wind is cross-off and the waves are poor. Tuesday, August 25, has a small 4ft W swell with weak energy (132), and it's only "surfable but very ordinary." The wind is clean, but the swell is too weak and short-period (7 seconds) to offer much. We then slip into a long stretch of onshore nor'ly winds, especially from August 29 to September 3, with swells between 4ft and 8ft, but the onshore wind is relentless, making it all chop and poor shape. The combined energy during this period hits a high of 739 on the 29th, but it's all for nothing with that wind.
There are no true standouts here. The best you'll find is a very fleeting window on Sunday, August 23, afternoon, with a clean 5ft W swell and offshore wind, but it's only marginal. For the rest of it, if you're desperate, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent onshore winds and moderate swell energy. It's a tough forecast, but this area can change quickly, so keep an eye on it.
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.
