The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks is shaping up like for Lagide.
To be straight with you, this is a grim run. We are looking at a solid stretch of poor surf conditions that just won't let up. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't pop up until Saturday the 8th of August, so that’s over a week of grovel or nothing at all. Before that, from this Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, every single report is calling it poor. We’ve got onshore winds, usually from the north or northwest, chopping up any small swell that tries to show. The wave energy is weak too, mostly sitting under 200, often under 100, which is tiny. The water temp is sitting at 68°, right on the money for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Now, the one window that raises an eyebrow – and I’m not getting too excited – is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. For the first time in this whole forecast, we see a "surfable but very ordinary" tag with a score of 1 out of 10. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the WNW, period of 9 seconds, with a combined energy of only 144. That's a very modest groundswell. The wind, though, is light from the WSW at 9 mph, which is a cross-offshore wind, keeping the conditions clean. Lagide is a beach and reef setup that likes a NNW swell, so this WNW direction isn't ideal, but the clean conditions for a Saturday morning will mean a few small, weak waves. Don't expect anything special; the quality is just "very ordinary."
After that brief glimmer, it goes straight back to poor on Saturday afternoon, and we get a pulse of bigger, but rougher, swell. By Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August, the swell jumps up to 5 ft to 7 ft from the NNW, with energy readings climbing into the 200s, 300s, and even 700s on Monday morning. That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind is howling out of the north at 22 to 25 mph. With that much wind and a beach setup, it’s going to be a complete washing machine. That kind of energy with strong onshores isn’t for paddling; it looks far more interesting for kite surfing than a clean surfer’s wave. By the 12th of August, the swell drops back down, and the poor wind comes straight back. We’re back to tiny, weak surf with onshore winds for the rest of the outlook.
In short, it’s a long, dry stretch of poor conditions. Your best bet, and it’s a long shot, is to keep your eye on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August if you just need to get wet. This is a patch where you’d be better off waiting for the forecasts to change – and they often do. Keep an eye out.
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.
