The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening for Lagide.
To be straight up, it’s a rough couple of weeks for surf. There is some swell around, but the wind just keeps ruining it.
You start off on Tuesday the 18th, but it’s choppy with poor conditions. Wednesday morning the 19th cleans up a bit for a clean 0.9m NNW swell, but the cross-off breeze makes it feel flat and average – not a session to write home about.
Your best bet comes early on Thursday the 20th. The wind goes glassy and there’s a tiny, clean 0.6m WNW swell rolling in at 9 seconds. You won't be riding monsters, but the surface will be like a mirror. That is as good as it gets.
From Thursday afternoon onward, it’s all downhill. A strong, onshore NNW wind kicks in and stays for days. You get bigger swell pushing through – up to 2.4m with strong energy (combined energy over 980) – but it’s all blown to bits. It’s a kite session, not a surf session.
The water temperature is about 19°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel it.
Into late August, the wind stays on you, and most of the surf is messy and poor. By the start of September, the energy drops and the wind stays mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The only thing that looks half decent is Wednesday morning the 2nd of September: a 1.1m NW swell with a long 10-second period and light northerly wind. Marginal at best, but the only real chance in that second week.
No consistent run of good waves here. Might be worth a look if conditions change last minute, but I wouldn't count on it.
Rusty out.

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.
