The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to imperial for the crew who think in feet and miles.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day stretch is Friday morning, the 28th of August. That’s your ticket. We’ve got a clean 7.2ft groundswell rolling in from the WNW, and with a period of 11 seconds, it’s got some proper heft and shape. The wind’s glassy—just a 3 mph southerly—so the surface is gonna be buttery smooth. Water temp is sitting at 66.9°F, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing unusual, just a standard autumn feel. The combined wave energy is strong too, reading 1121 on the energy scale. For an advanced crew, this is the morning to be out there, no question.
Now, after that, it gets ugly. From Friday afternoon the 28th, straight through to the end of the period on the 12th of September, the conditions turn sour. Onshore winds—mostly from the north—smash the place from Saturday the 29th onward, and the swell doesn’t do us any favours. The waves hang around in the 2ft to 5ft range for most of the time, but the wind is relentless, either onshore or cross-onshore, leaving it choppy and blown out. Even when we see a bigger pulse, like the 7ft to 10ft stuff that shows up around the 8th, 9th, and 10th of September, it’s all under a stiff north wind, making it a messy, onshore pile-up. That bigger swell is solid, sure, but without clean wind, it’s no good for paddle surfing. If you’re a kite surfer, that combo of strong wind and decent wave height might look interesting, but for a regular surfer? Forget it. The combined energy dips down to 75 on the 4th of September, which tells you how weak things get.
So here’s the truth: this is a classic case where you get one golden session and then a big chunk of nothing. A week or more of poor surf is normal for the area when the wind patterns lock in like this. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath. I’d be making damn sure I’m on that glassy Friday morning session—that’s the only wave worth paddling for.

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.
