The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Lagide for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a bit of a rough patch. We've got a lot of onshore wind and short-period, messy swell for a spot that's fairly exposed. Water temp is around 67°, which is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, so you might need the thicker suit.
The first real chance comes on Monday the 17th in the morning. It's not huge, about 6 ft from the NW, but the wind is glassy and light from the south. It’ll be clean, even if the waves are short-period (8 seconds) and a little weak. Energy is moderate at 357. Surfable, but not a classic.
Tuesday the 18th morning is similar – dropping to about 5 ft with a light offshore breeze from the south keeping things tidy. Energy drops to 254.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Wednesday the 19th, the swell just fades and the wind turns ugly. There are glassy days on the 20th and 23rd, but the swell is tiny – down to 2 ft on the 20th with weak energy of 64. Not worth getting wet.
The next real window is Sunday the 23rd morning. We’ve got a 7 ft NW swell with glassy conditions and a light southwesterly breeze. There's a risk of thunderstorms, but if you time it right, it could be clean and punchy. Energy is moderate at 597. That's a solid morning.
Monday the 24th morning looks similar – 7 ft from the NNW, glassy, and clean with light NW winds. Another good window, with energy at 538.
After that, it's back to onshore winds and poor conditions for the rest of the week. The swell drops, and we see nothing but poor surf through to Friday the 28th.
Now, Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are interesting but only for the experts. We’ve got a big jump to 10 ft of NNW swell, with strong energy (1148 to 1603). The problem? It's cross-onshore and choppy, and the swell period is short (8-9 seconds), so it'll be lumpy and powerful. At 10 ft, this is expert-only territory, and the wind won't be helping. Looks more like a kite-surfing setup than clean paddle surfing.
So, the standout windows are Monday morning the 17th for a clean, smaller session, and Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th mornings for the best combo of size and glassy conditions. Don't get your hopes up for the rest.

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.
