The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks.
The standout is a nice, long-period SW groundswell that’s set to roll. The absolute pick of the bunch is Monday morning, 24 August – 1.7m of SSW swell with a combined energy of 1750. The wind is glassy out of the SSE, so you’re looking at clean, lined-up waves coming into Lagundri - The Point. That’s a reef break, and with a 17-second period, it’s going to wrap in nicely. The crowds? They show up, but the quality is worth it.
The first day, Sunday 23 August, is a no-go – onshore wind and stormy, with a messy 1.7m.
Tuesday morning, 1 September is the big one later on. We’ve got 2.1m of SW swell, a 17-second period, and a massive 2736 energy reading. Flat calm – glassy. That’s a serious session for the experienced surfer only. Anything over 2.5m gets too heavy, but this is right in the sweet spot for experts. That’s 11 days out, so it’s promising, but nothing’s set in stone yet.
Wednesday morning, 2 September is also glassy with 1.8m and 16-second intervals. Very clean.
After that, it fades. By Friday 4 September, it’s down to 1.0m and weak. There’s a long gap of small, onshore stuff for a few days.
The water temp is about normal for the season. For the second week, Sunday morning, 6 September has 1.4m of SSW swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is onshore from the SE, so it’s not the cleanest. The 5th of September has a bigger period (18 seconds), but the wind is cross-onshore – more of a kite-surfing situation than a pure paddle session.
Stick to those glassy mornings for the best waves. The crowd will be there, but so will the quality.
Rusty.

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.
