The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Lagide. Honestly, the first real rideable surf doesn’t pop up until Monday the 27th of July, so there’s a dry spell of several days before anything worth getting wet for. The water’s sitting at about 68°, which is normal for this time of year, no big anomaly.
Your best bet is Monday morning the 27th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds – not a long-period groundswell, but the energy is moderate (264). What makes this one stand out is the wind: glassy. Dead calm. That’s a beauty. The waves will be clean and tidy. Lagide is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, and with the swell coming straight out of the NNW, it’ll line up right. Just know that this spot can get crowded often, but on a Monday morning with these conditions, you might have it to yourself.
After that, it’s mostly a rough ride. Tuesday the 28th morning has a 5ft swell from NNW with a longer period of 9 seconds, but the wind is light cross-shore – it’s okay, not great. From Wednesday the 29th onward, the wind swings onshore from the north, bringing chop and lump. Even when the swell hits 6ft on Wednesday the 5th of August, the cross-onshore wind and short period wreck it. Those days are for the hardcore only.
The rest of the window? Onshore winds from the north at 15–25 mph, sometimes gusting to 25 mph or more, and the surf is just poor. Late in the first week of August, the wind is howling north at 25–30 mph with weak energy. For paddle surfing, it’s a write-off. With those winds and a beach-and-reef setup under bigger swell, this is looking more like a kite session than a surf day.
Get on that Monday glass. That’s the one. 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.
