The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight – the whole 16-day window at Lagide looks bleak. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s a huge gap of poor surf right from the start, lasting through to the second week. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t pop up until Monday, September 14th, and even then, it’s not a full-on classic.
For the first week and a half, it’s a write-off. Onshore wind, short-period windswell, and generally ugly conditions. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak to moderate, with values like 301 (Monday 5th) and 576 (Sunday 6th) but the onshore wind just destroys it. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.
The standout window is that Monday, September 14th, morning. Lagide (beach and reef) finally gets a clean, light offshore from the SSW at 6 mph, with a 8 ft swell from the NNW. That’s a solid size, right on the edge for big-wave chargers, but the period is a short 9 seconds, so it’s a bit chunky. The combined energy is strong at 1037, and the conditions are clean. That’s your best shot, but it’s only for the experts. The afternoon is still clean with a cross-offshore wind, but smaller at 7 ft.
Then Tuesday, September 15th, morning is another clean, smaller option with 5 ft swell and light offshore wind. The energy is moderate (434). It’s a decent backup, but not a standout.
Keep an eye on Wednesday, September 16th, morning. There’s a glassy, tiny 2 ft NW groundswell with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period swell, which means it’ll be clean and lined up, but it’s tiny. Combined energy is 376. A longboarder might get a few fun ones, but it’s not a standout for power.
The rest of the window is mostly a mess of onshore wind, cross-onshore chop, and marginal conditions. The water temp is around 67°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2°F off. That’s notable, but not crazy.
Bottom line: if you’re a board-short beginner, stay home. The only real window is the morning of Monday, September 14th, for experienced surfers only. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch.

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.
