The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Lagide.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a bust for decent paddle surfing. The wind is almost always blowing onshore from the north, and while there’s some swell, the conditions are just plain messy. You’re looking at a solid week of poor surf, with onshore wind and choppy waves. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until Friday, September 5th. That morning, the wind goes glassy – a real bonus – but the swell is small at 3ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of just 120. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The only session that gets me stoked is on Saturday, September 12th. The morning shows a solid 7ft of NW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is light from the north, keeping it clean. The combined energy is a strong 856, so there’s plenty of power. But this is a big one – at 7ft, it’s strictly for the experts. This is a beach and reef setup, and with a period just under the long-period threshold, it won’t be too straight. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Saturday afternoon, the wind turns cross-onshore, so the morning is your only window. The rest of the forecast is a long, dry spell of poor surf, onshore wind, and weak energy. There’s a big spike in swell around September 10th and 11th, with 7ft to 8ft, but the wind is straight onshore and strong, turning it into a total mess. For that kind of power and wind, a kite surfer would be having a blast, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
So, the one and only call is that Saturday morning, September 12th. Get there early, be ready for a powerful, clean swell, but know it’s for the experienced crew only. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
