Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's talk about the surf coming up at Lagundri - The Point, a classic reef break that's exposed to the southwest. Water temps are sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

The outlook kicks off with a bit of a slow start, but hold tight. Early Tuesday morning (September 1st) we've got a solid 7ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, but it's blown onshore and the wave energy is a massive 2848 – that's strong to very strong energy. The conditions are marginal, and the wind is a dirty SE onshore. It's cleaner for experienced surfers but still not great. Tuesday afternoon isn't much better.

Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the SW, still with a long 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is still strong at 1646, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout window – glassy, clean, and proper groundswell energy. The southwest direction lines up perfectly with the optimum swell direction for this reef. If you're advanced, get in the water.

Thursday morning, September 3rd, sees the swell ease to 4ft SW, period 15 seconds, and the wind shifts light offshore from the NW. The combined energy is moderate at 852. It's clean and very good. This is another solid option for advanced surfers, but the real standout is that Wednesday glass-off.

From Friday, September 4th through the weekend, the swell drops further to around 4–4ft, still with decent energy (541–654). The wind is light and glassy or cross-onshore, so the surf is clean but smaller. Not a standout, but fun for the right board.

Monday, September 7th, picks up again with a 4ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate at 833. It's clean and very good. Tuesday, September 8th, has a longer period SW swell (18 seconds) at 3ft, with glassy conditions and moderate energy (981). Nice for a longer board.

Wednesday, September 9th, is another standout. The swell jumps to 5ft SSW, 16-second period, with glassy conditions. The combined energy is strong at 1306, and it's rated excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday, September 10th, is also excellent with 5ft SW swell and glassy or clean conditions. Both of these windows are prime for advanced surfers on a reef break that loves the southwest.

The second week holds more promise. Friday, September 11th, has a 5ft SW swell, 15-second period, with cross-shore wind in the morning, but the afternoon cleans up with a light offshore. The energy is strong at 1951. It's a good call for experienced surfers. Saturday, September 12th, through to the end of the period, keeps a consistent 3–5ft SW swell with offshore or glassy winds. The energy stays moderate to strong (490–902). The standout in this second week is Wednesday, September 9th, and Thursday, September 10th, for that glassy, clean quality.

Keep in mind this is a reef break, and with periods over 15 seconds, the sets will be long and powerful. It's best for advanced surfers, given the size and the reef. Crowds are possible, so plan accordingly.

Rusty.
