The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Lagide is mostly a write-off. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions from the start, right through Wednesday the 12th of August until Saturday the 15th, with onshore wind and messy surf. You’re looking at about four days of nothing worth paddling out for. The water temperature sits at 70°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Things finally show a glimmer of life on Sunday the 16th of August. The morning sees 8ft of NNW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and the conditions are marginal – not worth getting excited about. The combined swell energy is moderate (977), so there’s some push, but it’s not clean.
Now, Monday the 17th of August morning is your standout. It’s glassy – absolutely still – with a 7ft NNW groundswell (9-second period). That long period means better shaped waves, more energy, and longer gaps between sets, making the paddle out a bit easier. For an advanced break like Lagide, a beach and reef setup, the longer period groundswell from the NNW is right on the money – matches the optimum direction. The combined energy is strong (757). This is the best on offer, no question. Keep in mind, crowds are often here, so expect company.
Tuesday the 18th of August morning is also worth a mention. Another glassy start, with 6ft of NNW swell (8-second period) and moderate energy (414). Good surf conditions, but not quite as punchy as Monday.
After that, things go downhill again. From Tuesday afternoon right through the rest of the window, it’s back to onshore winds, choppy conditions, and poor surf. The swell does get big again – up to 10ft on Saturday the 22nd and Wednesday the 26th – but with strong onshore winds, it’s a messy, blown-out mess. That size is only for experts anyway, but with the wind on it, it’s not even that. Honestly, if you’re into kite surfing, those bigger days with strong cross-onshore wind might look more interesting than paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: Monday the 17th of August morning at Lagide is your best shot. Glassy conditions, solid groundswell from the right direction, and good energy. Get in early.
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.
