The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the Lagide area. Let’s break it down.
Right now, things are looking pretty flat and blown out. The water temp is about 20°C, which is right around normal for the season, so no surprises there. But the surf? A long wait.
From Monday the 20th all the way through to Monday the 27th of July, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny swell, onshore or cross-shore winds, and wave energy barely cracking 100 for most of it. When the swell tries to come up on the 25th and 26th, the wind just kills it – cross-onshore and choppy. You’re better off finding something else to do.
The real window opens Tuesday the 28th of July. That morning, you’ve got a clean 2.0m NW swell with a 9-second period, and the wave energy jumps way up to 636 – that’s proper moderate-strong juice for the spot. The wind is light, glassy offshore from the south at just 10 km/h, and that’s going to make for some wicked clean waves at Lagide. It’s a beach-and-reef break that loves NNW-NW swell, so we’re right in the zone. It is an advanced wave, and with the crowd factor listed as "often," expect some company, but for the quality on offer, it’s the clear standout of the whole 16 days.
Wednesday the 29th still has some leftover waves – 1.1m and cross-offshore wind in the morning – but the energy drops fast, and it’s just ordinary. From there, it’s back into a flat spell with onshore winds for the rest of the run. There is a pulse on the 4th of August with 2.1m NW swell and 586 energy, but it’s blowing 30 km/h straight onshore from the north, which makes it a clean miss for us. At that size and with that wind, it’s probably more interesting for kite gear than a surfboard.
So, keep your powder dry until Tuesday the 28th. Be there early for the cleanest waves in the whole period. After that, it’s back to watching the horizon.
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.
