The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks. We’re dialed into a single spot that’s firing on all cylinders for most of the run, so let’s get into it.
Lagundri - The Point (reef, advanced) is the main event here, and it’s a classic. The water is sitting at a warm 85.8°F with an anomaly of 1.4°F, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just tropical comfort. The first recommendation kicks off Thursday morning, 10th September, with a solid SW groundswell pushing 4.6 ft at a long 16 seconds, and the combined wave energy is pumping hard at 1165. That’s a strong, powerful swell. The wind is glassy from the east at 3.1 mph, so the conditions are pristine. This is a proper reef break, and with that long period, it’s going to offer up some beautiful, lined-up waves, though the sets will be spaced out. It’s an advanced wave, so don’t expect a beginner-friendly zone. The rating is a standout here – the overall quality is top-notch, the swell direction is exactly what this break loves (SW optimum), and the glassy wind makes it a dream. Crowds are possible, and with surf this good, you’ll want to get in the water early.
Moving into Thursday afternoon, the wind shifts to a cross-on from the south at 6.2 mph, and the swell holds at 4.6 ft but the period bumps to 17 seconds. The energy is even higher at 1384, but that cross-on breeze will put a bit of a chop on the face. It’s still surfable for the experienced, but the morning is the clear winner.
Friday morning, 11th September, the swell pushes up to 4.9 ft, still SW, with a 16-second period and energy at 1541. The wind is a light cross-on from the SSE at 3.1 mph, and it’s a bit messy. The afternoon turns onshore from the SE, so the quality drops. Not the best day.
Saturday morning, 12th September, the swell drops to 3.3 ft but the period is a massive 20 seconds – that’s a very long groundswell. The energy is still strong at 1512, and the wind is cross-shore from the NE at 3.1 mph, creating some small ripples. It’s okay, but the afternoon is the real gem: Saturday afternoon brings 5.2 ft SW swell at 19 seconds, with a glassy wind from the NNW at 3.1 mph, and the energy rockets to 2727. That’s a massive pulse of energy, and the glassy conditions mean it’ll be absolutely pristine. This is another standout.
Sunday morning, 13th September, is a beauty. The swell is 6.9 ft from the SW, 17-second period, with a dead calm, glassy wind from the east at 0 mph. The energy is 2693. That’s a big swell – over 8.2 ft? No, it’s 6.9 ft, so it’s solid but still within the advanced realm. It’s going to be powerful, clean, and epic. The afternoon holds the same 6.9 ft but with a light SSW wind, still glassy. This entire weekend is looking incredible.
Monday morning, 14th September, the swell drops to 5.9 ft, 15-second period, with a glassy SE wind at 3.1 mph, energy at 1605. Still excellent. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so morning is the move.
Tuesday morning, 15th September, the swell holds at 5.9 ft, but the wind goes onshore from the ESE at 6.2 mph

Information about the Lagundri - The Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lagundri - The Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lagundri - The Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lagundri - The Point 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 (Lagundri - The Point) 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 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. 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.
