The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu at Lagide over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—most of this is a tough go. There's a long stretch of barely anything worth paddling out for. The one bright spot is Monday morning, July 27th.
The big problem? The wind. Days of a solid onshore breeze from the north and northwest are just wrecking the surface. We get some pulses of NW swell, like a moderate chunk of energy on Sunday morning, July 26th, but that stiff 19 mph north wind makes it a total mess. Not worth the paddle.
Now, Monday the 27th. That morning is all we’re waiting for. The wind goes dead glassy, 0 mph from the east. We’ve got clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds. It’s wind swell, sure, but with a glassy surface like that, it’s going to be silky smooth. The combined energy is moderate (268), but conditions are just perfect. For a beach-and-reef setup, this is the window you take. The water’s at 70°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
After that, it’s a real dry spell. Tuesday morning, July 28th, has a touch more size at 4 ft and the energy bumps up (376), but it’s cross-onshore with a light breeze kicking up ripples. Not good. It just stays marginal or poor all the way through the end of the first week and into the second.
The second week gets big but ugly. Swell pushes well over 8 ft and up to 10 ft from the NNW around the 8th and 9th of August, with periods stretching to 12 seconds on the 8th. That’s a ton of water moving (combined energy over 1800!), but with a strong onshore breeze at 25 mph, it’s just going to be a messy, blown-out beast. That size is only for experts, and with that wind, it looks way more interesting for kite surfing than a clean paddle session.
So here’s the call: if you want clean waves, Monday morning, July 27th, is the only game in town. Water’s warmer than usual, wind’s off, and it’s as good as it gets. For the rest, it’s a tough stretch. The forecasts can flip though—it doesn’t often stay this poor for this long around here.
Stay keen. 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.
