Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. The best conditions are going to come in the second week, so keep that in mind.

We’re looking at Lagundri - The Point (a reef break) for the whole run. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The story starts on Thursday, July 9th. The morning is actually pretty tempting with a 5 ft SSW swell and a 14-second period. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean. The combined swell energy is strong at 1173, so there’s plenty of push. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s not for beginners. The wind goes cross-on in the afternoon, making it a bit bumpy, so that morning window is the one to hit.

Friday, July 10th, the swell holds around 5 ft, shifting more to the SW with a 16-second period, but the wind is onshore all day. It’s not terrible, but it’s not the cleanest either. The morning of Saturday, July 11th, is better, with a 5 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and glassy conditions again. The energy is still moderate at 885. The afternoon gets a bit messy with cross-shore wind.

Sunday, July 12th, the swell drops to 3 ft. The morning is glassy, but it’s small. The rest of the first week has a few glassy windows (like Monday morning, July 13th, with a 4 ft SSW swell) but the wind tends to shift in the afternoons.

The standout window really opens up on Thursday, July 16th. Thursday morning is dead calm, glassy, with a 5 ft SW swell at 15 seconds. The energy is a moderate 821. That’s your first real highlight.

Then Friday, July 17th, is a beauty. Both morning and afternoon are glassy with a 4 ft SW swell, 15-second period, and clean conditions. This is a day to clear your schedule. Saturday, July 18th, keeps the good times rolling with more glassy mornings and a 4 ft SW swell.

But the absolute best on offer is Sunday, July 19th, and Tuesday, July 21st. On Sunday morning, July 19th, we have a 4 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, with a clean offshore wind from the NW. The energy is strong at 1088, and the conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. Then on Tuesday, July 21st, both morning and afternoon are excellent again, with a 4 ft to 5 ft SSW swell, a 16-second period, and clean offshore winds. The combined energy is strong (1267 in the morning). That Tuesday is the pick of the entire forecast.

The last few days, from July 22nd to the 24th, the swell slowly drops back down. The mornings of July 22nd and 23rd still offer clean, glassy conditions with 4 ft to 4 ft SSW swell, but the energy fades.

Keep in mind, this is a reef break, so the long-period swells (over 15 seconds) will be well-shaped here. The crowds can be an issue at times, so get in early for the standouts. For the first few days, the 5 ft swell is a bit much for beginners, but the later windows in the 4 ft to 5 ft range are more manageable for strong intermediates.

Overall, it’s a great outlook. Get your board ready for the 16th, 17th, and especially the 19th and 21st.

Rusty.
