The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Lagide (beach and reef) for the next 16 days. Honestly, it’s a grim stretch. The whole run is a flat, wind-affected mess. There’s barely a wave worth paddling for, and the scores flatline at zero across the board. This is one of those periods where you’d almost be better off waxing your board just for the exercise.
Starting from Tuesday 4 August, the morning shows a light cross-shore with a small 3 ft swell from the WNW, period 9 seconds, but the wind’s already messing it up with slight ripples. Weak energy (132). That afternoon gets worse—cross-onshore, only 3 ft, and choppy. Wednesday 5 August is all onshore, 2 ft to 3 ft, and the wind picks up to 12–16 mph. Thursday 6 August sees swell jump to 5 ft–5 ft with a short period of 7 seconds and onshore winds up to 19 mph, making it a messy, blown-out affair. The energy is moderate (336) but completely unsurfable. Friday 7 August is more of the same: 6 ft onshore mush, high energy (367) but poor quality. The weekend from Saturday 8 August through Sunday 9 August drops to tiny, weak surf—1 ft to 3 ft, short periods, onshore or cross-onshore, with energy as low as 63. Then from Monday 10 August into the next week, the pattern holds: small, onshore slop, never clean. There’s a slight uptick around Tuesday 11 August with a 3 ft, 11-second groundswell, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, so no joy.
The second week doesn’t get any better. By Sunday 16 August, the swell builds to 5 ft–7 ft from the NW, with energy climbing to 750, but it’s all onshore wind and short period—only for experts, and even then, it’s just wind-chopped junk. Monday 17 August hits 6 ft onshore, energy 561, same story. This is more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. The whole 16 days is a write-off. There’s no standout, no hidden gem. The water temperature is 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting for nothing.
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.
