The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Lagide in feet and inches. The 16-day picture? Honestly, it’s rough. There’s a whole lot of days with nothing good to say, but there is one morning that’s worth waking up early for.
The first week is a total loss. From Sunday, August 9th, all the way through to Monday, August 17th, it’s just a constant onslaught of onshore wind. The swell gets big—real big—with combined energy numbers climbing into the hundreds, maxing out around 887. But with the wind howling directly onshore at 25-40 km/h, that 2.4m (about 8ft) swell on the 17th is just a messy, blown-out wall. For a beach and reef break like this, it’s more of a kite-surfing circus than a surfing spot.
Then, finally, we get a break. Tuesday morning, August 18th. The wind flips to a light offshore from the south at about 10 km/h. The swell is a cleaner 1.6m (around 5ft) from the NNW with a short 8-second period, but that offshore breeze is going to put a nice face on it. The combined energy is 346, so there’s some decent push in the water. It’s not perfect, but after a week and a half of onshore junk, this is the standout. Water temp is around 67°, right where it should be for this time of year.
The rest of the forecast fades fast. Wednesday morning the 19th has a light offshore with a smaller 0.9m (3ft) swell, but it’s weak. By Thursday the 20th, it’s down to 0.5m (knee-high). If you don’t get out on that Tuesday morning, you’re pretty much out of luck.
So, circle Tuesday, August 18th on the calendar. It’s your one shot at something clean.
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.
