Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Lagundri - The Point.

We’ve got a solid run of swell lined up, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the first few days. The real standout is the first day, Monday 20 July. The afternoon sees a 6ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and the wind is offshore out of the WNW. That’s clean, powerful reef-break territory. The wave energy is strong at 1511, so this is for experienced surfers only. The water temp is a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.

The next few days, Tuesday through to Thursday, are a bit of a letdown. The swell hangs around, but the wind goes cross-onshore, and the quality drops. You’ll see some small, lumpy waves on Tuesday and Wednesday morning offers a brief window of glassy 4ft surf on Wednesday morning, but it’s small. By Thursday the swell drops to under 3ft, and the wind is onshore, so it’s a write-off.

Friday 24 July picks up a little with a 5ft S swell, but it’s still onshore, so expect messy conditions. The weekend is small and choppy. Then Sunday 26 July and Monday 27 July see a glassy window with the wind swinging offshore, but the swell is tiny at 2ft to 3ft. Not much to get excited about, but the reef will be clean.

Now, the real action starts again on Wednesday 29 July afternoon. The wind goes glassy, the swell is 3ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, and the wave energy is building. That’s a very clean, fun little session.

But the big one – the absolute standout – is Saturday 1 August. The morning is glassy, with a 7ft SW groundswell pushing in with a strong 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2606. That’s serious, powerful, long-period groundswell. This is a reef break, so it will handle that energy beautifully, but it’s for experts only. The afternoon is just as good with a 7ft swell and glassy conditions. That’s the session to aim for.

The following days, Sunday 2 August has a bit of wind on it, but Monday 3 August is back to glassy with 5ft surf. Then Tuesday 4 August looks like another cracker: 5ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, glassy, and wave energy at 1902. That’s a long-period groundswell, so the point break will be holding that energy perfectly. For the second week, that’s the one to watch.

Overall, it’s a two-peak forecast. The first week’s best is Monday 20 July afternoon, and then it’s all about Saturday 1 August and Tuesday 4 August. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so you might have some company, but with this quality, it’s worth it.

Stay safe out there.
