The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Lagide has got lined up for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, long run of days where the conditions are just not playing ball. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a solid 4° colder than what you’d usually expect for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting a decent steamer if you’re even thinking about getting out there.
To start with, Monday the 24th has some waist-to-chest high swell coming in from the west at 7ft, but that strong 16 mph cross-offshore wind is messing it up. You can see the combined swell energy is weak (599), and the call is poor surf. Tuesday the 25th drops right down to knee-high waves at 4ft, with a weak period of 7 seconds. It’s surfable but ordinary, and that’s about the best compliment I can give it – a 1 out of 10 situation.
Then we hit a massive dead zone. From Wednesday the 26th all the way through to Sunday the 6th of September, it's just a parade of onshore winds, mostly from the north, and consistently poor conditions. The wave heights bounce around from knee-high to just over head-high (8ft on Friday the 28th), but the wind is always on it, making it messy. Even when the swell picks up to a solid 6ft on Tuesday the 1st of September with a moderate 632 combined swell energy, the north wind is blowing at 19 mph. For a beach and reef setup like Lagide, this kind of wind just kills any chance of a decent wave – honestly, with that wind and chop, this spot starts looking more like a kitesurfing zone than a paddle spot.
A couple of interesting blips pop up right at the tail end. On Monday the 7th of September, we’ve got a very long-period groundswell from the west at 22 seconds, with a massive energy reading (2398). But it’s 5ft and the north wind is still on it at 16 mph. Then Tuesday the 8th sees a big 8ft swell from the WNW with a 14-second period, and a whopping 3825 combined energy – that’s some serious power. But again, it’s blown out by strong north winds. At this point, things are looking far from ideal.
For the whole 16-day outlook, there’s not a single standout session. The few moments with decent swell get ruined by the wind direction, and the calmer days have no swell to speak of. It’s a blank run, no doubt about it.
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.
