The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Lagide.
To be straight with you, for a beach and reef set-up, we’re in for a long wait. The next two weeks are mostly a write-off, with a lot of onshore wind and messy conditions. The water temp is sitting at about average for this time of year, around 70°, so nothing unusual there.
The first proper sniff of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t come until Tuesday the 18th of August in the morning. That’s the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a light offshore SSE breeze. Swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the wind will keep it tidy. Combined energy is moderate (317) – enough to push you around but not hammer you. For an exposed spot like Lagide, this is your window. Crowds are listed as ‘often’, so expect company.
After that Tuesday morning window, the wind swings cross-off and onshore again, and the quality drops fast. By Wednesday the 19th, we’re down to knee-to-waist high dribble with weak energy (105), and the wind is messy. Through the rest of the week and into the following week, it’s pretty grim – persistent onshore winds from the NNW and N, making for poor, choppy surf. We do see a couple of days with bigger swell, like Saturday the 22nd of August with 8ft from the NNW, but it’s blown out by 22 mph onshore winds. That’s too big for beginners and blown out for experts – honestly, might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s another small window on Tuesday the 25th of August morning with 4ft from the NNW, but the wind is cross-on and there’s not enough energy (387) to make it exciting. The very end of the outlook, Thursday the 27th of August, sees a 7ft NNW swell but again, it’s hammered by onshore winds. Not one to circle on the calendar.
So, the call is simple: If you want clean waves, your only real shot is Tuesday the 18th of August in the morning. Get out there early. The rest of the 16 days is a long, frustrating gap of onshore junk. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a patience game.
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.
