Lagide Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Lagide. This is a tough one, folks. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing good before we finally see a little light.

Right off the bat, the first week is a write-off. From Sunday the 6th all the way through to Friday the 11th, it’s just a total bust. The wind is howling onshore from the north, and even though there’s some swell—hitting 6 ft on Wednesday the 9th—it’s a complete mess. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate to strong (470 to 959), but it doesn’t matter with that wind. Not a single wave worth paddling out for.

The first real sign of a pulse comes on Saturday the 12th. The swell drops right off to 3 ft from the NNW, but the wind finally swings cross-offshore from the ESE. The energy is weak (95), and it’s only described as “surfable but very ordinary.” You’d be fighting for scraps, but it’s a start.

Now, Sunday the 13th is the standout. This is the one to circle. The morning is glassy—dead calm wind from the ENE at just 5 km/h. The water temperature is 66°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget a hood. The swell is a tidy 3 ft from the NW with a period of 13 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (425). For a beach-and-reef setup, a long period like that gives the waves shape and power, but it can also make them a bit walled-up. Still, that glassy morning is the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. It’s an advanced spot, and it’s “fairly consistent,” so it isn’t a total fluke.

After that, it gets messy again. The wind turns back onshore through Monday and Tuesday, with the swell dropping to 3 ft and 4 ft—nothing to write home about. The energy stays moderate (around 330 to 530), but the conditions are poor.

The next flicker of hope comes on Sunday the 20th. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. The swell is 6 ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (597). It’s described as “good surf conditions,” but it’s still a week and a half out, so keep the expectations in check.

Then, Monday the 21st morning looks special again. Completely glassy—zero wind from the SSW. A 5 ft swell from the NW, 11-second period, energy at 553. That’s another serious contender. But again, it’s far out. *Promising but less certain.*

So, bottom line: if you surf at Lagide, you’re mostly waiting for that Sunday the 13th morning glass-off. That’s the one. The rest of the window is a stubborn northerly wind pattern that just won’t quit.
