Lagide Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Lagide, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s been a tough watch. The swell is there, but the wind has been a proper menace for most of the next week and a half. We’re looking at a 16-day window where the first recommendation doesn’t even pop up for a while.

The first day we get any kind of nod is on Monday the 14th of September, but even then, it’s just a "marginal" call. The morning on the 14th has a 4 ft swell from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, but it’s a cross-onshore breeze. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a touch under normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.

Things start to look a little more promising on the morning of Tuesday the 15th. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the NNW with a light offshore breeze from the SSW. The energy is weak (148), but it’s glassy. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Then, on the morning of Wednesday the 16th, we get a moment of pure magic. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 3 ft swell from the NW at a 10-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 222. It’s a proper window of clean, lined-up waves. This is the standout – if you can get out that morning, you’ll have the place to yourself and the conditions will be perfect.

After that, it’s a lot of onshore chop again until we hit the morning of Friday the 18th of September. That’s a good one. We’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the NW, but the real story is the light offshore wind from the S. The energy jumps to 437 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. It’s a proper surf day.

But the absolute best on offer, the one you need to circle in your calendar, is the morning of Saturday the 19th of September. That’s 8 ft from the NNW with glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm from the SE. The energy is a strong 622. That’s a big, powerful, clean swell. However, at 8 ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit punchy and won’t hold its shape as well as a longer period groundswell, but for a beach and reef setup, the glassy conditions make it a winner.

The rest of the outlook into the second week has some size (like 7 ft on the 22nd), but the wind is onshore, making it messy. The Saturday morning glass-off is the real prize.

So, to sum it up: grind through the onshore slop early on, get a taste of clean waves on the 15th and 16th, but the real jackpot is the morning of Saturday the 19th. It’s a big, clean, powerful day for the experts.

Rusty.
