Lagide Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at what Lagide’s got cookin’.

The real highlight lands on Sunday the 13th of September morning. We’re looking at a clean 3ft NW swell with a solid 13-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the ESE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a solid moderate 427, and the wave report says it’s good surf. That’s your top session of the whole 16 days – clean, lined-up waves with that long-period groundswell pushing through. That period over 11 seconds means the sets will be a bit more spaced, making the paddle out easier. The break is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it lines up with the NNW optimum direction, so this NW swell is a nice fit. Crowds are often an issue here, so get there early.

After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to the 22nd, the wind goes onshore and the quality tanks. There’s a huge gap with no real surfable conditions. The swell gets big around the 16th – we’re talking 10ft NNW with a short 9-second period and the combined energy hitting a very strong 1356, but it’s blowing 25 mph onshore. That’s expert-only territory and honestly, with that wind and short period, it’s going to be a mess. More of a kite surfing day than a paddle session.

The next decent window shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 24th of September. The swell drops to 4ft from the NW, with a 10-second period, but the wind turns glassy again out of the SE at 3 mph. Combined energy is a modest 276, but the wave report says “expect good surf conditions.” Clean and small, good for a longboard.

Then, on Friday the 25th of September morning, we’ve got another standout. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the ESE at 3 mph. Combined energy is a strong 909, and the wave report is the best we see: “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s big, clean surf with no wind chop – but the period is short, under 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly. At 7ft, it’s for experienced surfers only.

The final morning on Sunday the 27th of September offers a clean 4ft NNW swell with an 11-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph. Combined energy is 433, and the conditions are clean. A nice, manageable size with good shape.

The second week is more of a wait-and-see, with a few promising mornings but nothing as clean as that first Sunday.
