The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the local stretch.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough run ahead. The forecast is looking pretty grim for a solid stretch, with a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" flagged. For the first week and a half or so, the wind is going to be a real problem. We’ve got a solid gap of about 10 days here where the surf just isn't worth chasing. It’s not that the swell is missing entirely, but the wind is just going to wreck it, or it's too small and messy. You’ll want to sit this one out until things start to look a bit more promising.
The first real sniff of something better arrives around the morning of September 4th. The swell starts to build back up, hitting 7ft from the NNW, but the winds are still howling onshore from the north at 16 mph. With short period energy at 8 seconds, it’s going to be a bit of a washing machine. The combined energy is moderate (628), but it’s not clean. It’s a waiting game.
The standout in this whole 16-day window, and it’s the only one I’d even consider, looks like it’s shaping up for the morning of Saturday September 5th. The swell is still a solid 6ft from the NNW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is moderate (488). The real killer here is the wind: it’s a steady 12 mph from the north, blowing straight onshore. This is a beach and reef setup, with the optimum swell direction from the NNW, which matches up. But honestly, with that wind, this might be one for the kite-surfers more than the paddle crew. The water temp is 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good wetsuit.
The afternoon of the 5th is similar, with a 6ft swell and the same onshore wind, so no real improvement.
So, to wrap it up: the next week and a half is a write-off. The only real window of opportunity is the last couple of days of the forecast, but the conditions are marginal. Don't hold your breath for any magic sessions.
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.
