The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Lagide has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a whole lot of "on" wind and blown-out conditions gumming up most days. The water is sitting at a cool 66°, which is 3° colder than average for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a shock to the system if you’re not used to it.

The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday morning, the 22nd of August. It’s not huge, with a 5 ft swell out of the NNW, but the wind is light and cross-onshore with some light breeze, producing small wind ripples. It’s just a marginal one, though, nothing to get excited about. Saturday afternoon cleans right up with a cross-offshore breeze and a 4 ft NNW swell (period 9 seconds), offering what’s described as “good” conditions. The wave energy is moderate at 281, and you’ll find some clean, rideable lines.

Sunday the 23rd sees a pulse of bigger, longer-period swell – 6 ft from the W with an 11-second period (784 combined energy) Sunday morning, but the wind picks up strong from the SSE, making it a cross-offshore blow with a clean face. Still, the wind is fresh, so it’s not perfect. Afternoon on Sunday goes downhill fast with a risk of thunderstorms and gusty SSW winds. Monday the 24th has a brief window of offshore wind in the morning with a 5 ft WSW swell (8-second period, 321 energy), but it’s still a marginal call.

From Tuesday the 25th right through to the end of the first week, it’s mostly small, weak swell and poor conditions. The best you’ll get is a 3 ft to 4 ft WNW swell with clean faces but very ordinary quality. Wave energy drops into the double digits, which tells you it’s weak. Honestly, it’s a low-energy stretch.

Now, looking further ahead, there’s a standout event brewing for Friday the 28th of August. The morning shows a solid 10 ft NW groundswell with a long 12-second period. That’s a big, powerful swell with combined energy at 2227 – that’s strong. The wind, though, is onshore from the north at 12 mph, so the wave face will be lumpy. This is not for beginners – at over 8 ft, it’s expert territory, and with that long period, it could be a bit walled and unruly at a beach-and-reef setup like Lagide. It’s a marginal proposition. The next few days after that drop off quickly in size, but the northerly wind stays on it, so it’s largely blown out.

To sum it up: if you had to pick, I’d say the cleanest, most user-friendly surf of the whole outlook is the Saturday afternoon on the 22nd of August. It’s not big, but it’s clean, the wind is kind, and the waves are manageable. The big Friday the 28th pulse is for the experienced crew only, and only if you can handle a bumpy, onshore surface.

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.
