The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Lagide has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. Brace yourselves, because it’s going to be a long, quiet spell before we get anything halfway decent.
The first half of this outlook is a real bummer. From the start right through to the 13th of September, it’s a total shutdown. The forecast is littered with “poor surf conditions,” all thanks to a stubborn north wind blowing straight onshore. The swell energy does kick up at times with readings like 304, 421, and even up to 805 (combined energy), but the wind is just destroying any chance of a clean wave. It’s a solid stretch of nearly a week and a half with nothing to write home about.
Now, the one highlight we get is on Monday the 14th of September. That’s our day. We’ve got a clean 1.6m swell pushing in from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. But the real star of the show is the wind: a light offshore breeze from the SSW at 5 km/h in the morning, then a clean cross-offshore from the WSW at 15 km/h in the afternoon. The water is sitting around 19°, which is a bit cooler than average for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The wave energy is moderate (399 combined energy), and for a spot like Lagide – a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the NW – this is the one and only clean window. The optimum swell direction for this break is from the NNW, and this is coming from the NW, so it’s not a perfect match, but the quality of the wind will make it work. This is a solid paddle-surfing setup for the day.
After that, it’s back to small, lumpy, and windblown conditions for the rest of the second week, with nothing else worth chasing. So, if you’ve got the patience, the 14th is your best bet.
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.
