The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on the waves coming our way at Lagundri - The Point. It's a solid setup, a reef break that's advanced and very consistent, and it's wide open to that SW swell that makes it famous. Water’s sitting at 86°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We're looking at a bit of a slow start, but the good news kicks off on Monday the 14th. Early morning is a bit iffy with a light cross breeze, but by Monday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, and we're looking at a clean 5.9ft SW groundswell packing some serious energy (1799). That’s a real highlight; it's going to be proper clean and lined up. Tuesday the 15th morning is another beauty with the same 5.9ft SW swell and glassy conditions (1431 energy). That combo of size, direction, and zero wind is the best on offer early on. This is definitely for the experienced crew though – that's a solid, powerful wave.
Things get a little messy mid-week, with cross-onshore breezes kicking in, but there are still some windows. Wednesday the 16th afternoon goes glassy again with a slightly smaller but still fun 4.6ft SW swell (1099 energy). Then on Friday the 18th afternoon, there's a shift. The wind goes offshore from the NW at 12 mph, cleaning up a 3.9ft SW swell (744 energy). It’s smaller, but that offshore wind will make it super crisp. Sunday the 20th morning sees a return of good size, with 6.2ft SW swell (1775 energy) and a gentle offshore breeze from the WNW. That's another standout for the advanced guys.
The following week continues to have its moments. Monday the 21st morning is glassy with a 5.6ft SSW swell (1287 energy), and Tuesday the 22nd morning is also glassy with a smaller 3.6ft SSW swell (677 energy). The real fireworks, though, are looking to be at the end of the run. Sunday the 27th is dead glassy in the morning with a 5.2ft SSW swell packing a punch (1748 energy), and the afternoon has a 3.6ft SW swell with a massive 21-second period (2059 energy). That's a very long-period groundswell, which on this point break will mean long, clean lines and big gaps between sets – a proper treat.
But the absolute standout of the whole 16-day run looks to be Monday the 28th. Morning has a 5.6ft SW swell (2538 energy) with a light offshore breeze, and the afternoon bumps up to 6.2ft SW swell with a massive 2882 energy reading, still clean. That's the sort of day that gets the heart racing. It's a long way out, so don't set your watch by it, but it's a very promising close to the forecast. The swell is over 5ft, so this is not for beginners; it's an advanced wave on all those bigger days.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lagundri - The Point 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.
