Lagide Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down for Lagide. It’s a beach and reef set-up, open to the swell, and it works best with a NNW direction. The next couple weeks are gonna be a bit of a rollercoaster.

From Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 15th, it’s mostly a waste. North and NNW winds are blowing 9 to 19 mph straight onshore. The swell is there – 3ft to 8ft – but the wind just tears it up. Energy is moderate (214 to 996), but the conditions are poor. Not worth it.

Sunday the 16th morning shows a small chance. A light ENE breeze, cross-onshore, with a 8ft NNW swell and 753 energy. It’s marginal. The afternoon goes back to onshore junk.

Now, Monday the 17th morning – this is your first real call. The wind goes glassy, a slight air from the ENE, with a clean 7ft swell from the NNW and 626 energy. That’s gonna be clean, fun waves. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s short period windswell, but with glassy conditions it’ll be a good session. For beginners, 7ft is getting big.

Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, the wind goes offshore from the SE and SW. The swell drops to 4ft to 5ft, with moderate energy (173 to 303). Conditions are clean, but the waves are just ordinary – surfable, but nothing special.

Then we hit Thursday the 20th morning. This is the standout. The swell pushes to 7ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1033. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, making for clean surf. This is the best session of the whole run. That longer period means better shaped waves and more energy. At 7ft, it’s for the experienced crew, and those long period sets can jack up at a beach and reef break. But for the right surfer, this is it.

After that, it’s onshore winds and poor conditions from Friday the 21st through Tuesday the 25th. Swell sticks around 6ft to 8ft, but that 16-19 mph NNW wind ruins it. There’s a brief window on Monday the 24th morning with a light offshore and a 4ft NW swell (258 energy), but it’s only surfable-ordinary.

Finally, Wednesday the 26th morning offers another clean session: a 5ft NW swell with 405 energy and a light SW cross-offshore wind. Not a standout, but a solid clean option.

So, the two to lock in: Monday morning the 17th for the glass, and Thursday morning the 20th for the best swell and energy. The rest is waiting for the wind to play nice.
