The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Lagide.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a tough stretch for this spot. The swell is there, but the wind is playing havoc most of the time. We’ve got a serious run of onshore and cross-off conditions that are just trashing the quality. There’s a glimmer on Sunday the 23rd, but it’s not a full-blown winner.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday morning, the 23rd of August. The wind swings offshore from the SSE, blowing at 16 mph, and that’s going to clean things right up. We’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, carrying moderate wave energy (659). That’s a solid, clean groundswell for the more advanced crew. The offshore wind will be a major positive, giving you some nice, lined-up walls. The afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-off, and the quality drops off.
After that, it’s a long, frustrating grind. Most of the following week is a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions. Swell sizes bounce around 4 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is just never in the right spot to make it clean. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
We do get a flicker of hope on the morning of Thursday, the 27th of August. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, showing moderate energy (647). But the wind is cross-shore, making it a choppy affair. The afternoon session looks a touch better with a 6 ft NW swell and gentle cross-shore winds, earning a marginal score. Still, it’s not the kind of day you’d call in sick for.
The last week of the forecast into early September looks consistently poor. The swell is there, 5 ft to 6 ft and from the NW, but the wind is relentless onshore. It’s a classic case of the raw ingredients being present, but the wind just won’t cooperate. For the advanced guys, Sunday morning the 23rd is your best bet, but don’t expect perfection. For everyone else, this is a long stretch of waiting for better conditions.
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.
