The Lowdown
Rusty here, looking at the Lagide forecast. We've got some waiting to do, but there's a serious payday coming.
The Early Grind (Now through early September)
To be blunt, the start of this run is a total loss. From Monday the 24th of August through the end of the month, it's just messy. Strong cross-off winds, weak swell, and a general 'poor surf conditions' note. The waves are small, short-period (6-8 seconds), and have no energy to them. The water temp is a chilly 65°, which is about 4° colder than usual – that's a notable change.
As we roll into the first week of September, the wind is finally favorable—strong offshore from the N and NNW—but the swell quality is still junk. We see some moderate energy on the charts, like the morning of September 1st with 7ft of NW swell, but the onshore or cross-chop is ruining it. You're looking at about a week and a half of nothing to get excited about.
The Light at the End of the Tunnel (September 5th-6th)
Things start to wake up around Saturday the 5th of September. A real groundswell appears. The morning shows 6ft of NW swell from a 13-second period, and it ramps up to 8ft from a 12-second period in the afternoon, with the combined energy hitting 1545. The wind stays offshore from the N and NNW at 15-16 mph, so it should be clean. This is the kind of long-period energy that will make Lagide (a beach and reef set-up) really come alive.
The Standout – Monday 7th of September
Mark it down. Monday the 7th of September is the one to save for.
The morning session is the highlight. We’re looking at a solid 10ft of WNW groundswell with a *very long* 17-second period. The combined energy is a massive 6574. But the clincher is the wind: glassy, with only a 3 mph offshore flow. It's going to be absolutely pristine. This is excellent surf, but at that size, it's for experienced surfers only.
The afternoon will still be pumping with 12ft of swell at 15 seconds, and a cross-off wind, but the morning is where the magic is.
Closing Thoughts
There's a lot of garbage to dig through to get to the gold. The first week and a half is a write-off. The weekend of the 5th gets good, but that Monday the 7th is a serious chance for a day to remember. Just remember, that far out, forecasts can change, but this one is worth watching.
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.
