The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s coming at Lagide.
First thing – the water temp is 67°F, which is running a bit colder than the norm for this time of year, so you might want a thicker wetsuit.
Now, the honest truth. The outlook is pretty rough. For the first week and a half, from Saturday the 5th all the way to Monday the 14th, it’s mostly junk. The wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves are just messy. We do get some decent swell height – up to 6 ft – but with that onshore wind, it’s chopped up and ugly. The combined swell energy gets high (873 on Monday morning, 756 on Thursday morning), but with the wind all wrong, it’s really more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. There’s a dry gap of about nine days of poor to terrible conditions.
The first real surfable window comes on Monday the 14th. The morning has a light offshore breeze from the south, and the swell is 4 ft from the NW with a 10-second period. Energy is low (231), but it’s clean. It’s not great, but it’s a start.
Tuesday the 15th is a little better. Morning offshore from the south again, 4 ft from the NNW at a short 6-second period, but clean. The afternoon has a cross-offshore from the WSW and the waves hold at 4 ft. Energy is still low (199-232), but it’s clean enough for a session.
The one true standout in this whole 16-day window is Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. Glassy conditions, light wind from the WNW, and a solid 5 ft of NNW swell with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 326 – moderate – and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” The swell is coming from almost the perfect direction for this break. It’s a beach and reef setup, so with that period, it should have some decent shape. At 5 ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s the best call of the forecast.
After that, it fades. The 18th and 19th drop to tiny 2 ft waves, and by Sunday the 20th, we get another chance: 4 ft from the NNW with a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. Energy is 265-293, and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That could be a nice end to the run.
So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a wash. Circle Wednesday the 16th for your best shot, and keep Sunday the 20th as a backup. Stay patient.
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.
