Lagundri-The Machine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Lagundri-The-Machine.

Right now, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty average with that moderate rain and cross-shore wind messing up the surface. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are a bit of a write-off with marginal conditions and choppy water. The swell is there, but the wind’s not playing nice.

The first real window opens up Tuesday afternoon, the 4th. The wind swings to a light cross-off from the NW, and the wave state cleans right up. Swell is a solid 7 ft from the west, with a moderate period of 10 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate (1922). This is where things start to look interesting.

Wednesday morning, the 5th, is a standout. We’ve got offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, swell holding at 5 ft from the SSW with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and at this reef break, it should peel off nicely. Combined energy is strong (1785). The water’s about average for the time of year. Expect clean, lined-up waves, but keep in mind that long period swell can make the sets a bit more spaced out. This is a good day for experienced surfers.

The next big highlight is Saturday morning, the 8th. Swell picks up to 7 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. Combined energy is very strong (2673). Wind is light cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, so the surface will be clean. This is another one for the experienced crew, as the size is pushing into expert territory. Crowds are possible at this break.

Sunday the 9th is also worth a mention. The morning is a bit messy, but by the afternoon we get glassy conditions with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the west. Swell is 7 ft from the SSW at 16 seconds. That’s excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers, and the glassy water will make for a beautiful session.

After that, the energy drops off a bit, but we get a few more glassy windows. Thursday morning, the 14th, is dead calm and glassy, with a 5 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. Nice, clean, and manageable. Then again on Sunday the 16th, both morning and afternoon are glassy with 5 ft and 4 ft SSW swells, respectively. Good for a fun, less hectic session.

All in all, the best on offer is Wednesday morning the 5th and Saturday morning the 8th. The 5th is cleaner with offshore wind, the 8th is bigger and more powerful. Both are for advanced surfers only. After that, the second week has some nice glassy windows but the swell is smaller.
