The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at the 16-day outlook for Lagide.
First thing to say: there’s a bit of a flat or messy start here. The early part of the window is mostly onshore slop, and it’s not until the first week of September that things really start to look promising. The whole second week of August is a write-off for clean surf, with strong onshore winds and choppy, blown-out conditions. There’s a good run of cleaner conditions from the 29th of August onward, but even then, the swell is inconsistent and the quality is only up and down.
The standout by far is the morning of Monday the 31st of August. That’s the one to circle. The combined swell energy is a solid 912 (moderate to strong), with a 8ft NNW swell pushing in. The wind is light and cross-offshore out of the WSW, which will keep the surface clean and lined up. That’s a proper session for advanced surfers – 8ft is getting into big territory, so this is not one for beginners. The swell direction is NNW, which matches the optimum for Lagide, and the cross-off wind is a real bonus. Expect a few bigger sets, but the gaps between them will be manageable.
The morning of Saturday the 29th of August is worth a mention too. Combined energy of 376 (moderate), 5ft NW swell, with light cross-off WSW wind and clean conditions. It’s a much smaller wave, but it’ll be tidy and user-friendly. The water temperature right now is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there – just your usual warmish August water.
The morning of Tuesday the 1st of September also has some potential – 4ft from the NNW, offshore SSW wind, and clean. The combined energy is only 163 (weak), so it’s a smaller, gentler day, but if you want a quiet paddle with clean lines, that’s your window.
The rest of the 16 days? The 18th through the 26th of August are mostly blown out, with strong onshore winds and ratings that tell you to stay home. The 27th and 28th are still onshore and messy. The 30th of August has a pulse of 8ft to 8ft swell, but it’s under cloudy skies and a thunderstorm risk, with marginal tide conditions – so that’s a gamble, not a lock.
So, bottom line: the best of the best is the morning of Monday the 31st of August at Lagide. That’s the one. Get it while it’s clean.
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.
