Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Lagundri - The Point, a classic reef setup that handles the SW groundswell beautifully. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The outlook kicks off with some decent energy but the real standout mornings are going to be the ones with glassy conditions and a bit of size.

Tuesday 25th August kicks things off with a 6ft SSW swell, period 15 seconds, and cross-shore wind. The combined energy is strong (1229), but the wind is a bit messy, so it’s more of a warm-up session.

Wednesday 26th August is where it starts to clean up. The morning is glassy with a 5ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and the energy is moderate (781). That’s a lovely window for a few waves before it picks up again.

Thursday 27th August – now we’re talking. The morning is glassy, with a 3ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 19 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (1412). This is a long period groundswell that will wrap beautifully around the reef. The waves will be long, powerful, and lined up perfectly. For experienced surfers only, this is the best on offer in the first week. The afternoon gets a bit crowded with cross-on wind, but that morning session is pure gold.

Saturday 29th August morning is glassy again with a 5ft SW swell, 14-second period, and moderate energy (850). A solid, clean option.

Sunday 30th August morning is glassy, with a 3ft SW swell, 21-second period, and strong energy (1041). That is a very long period swell – the sets will be widely spaced but long and powerful on the reef. Excellent for good surfers. The combined energy for that size is impressive.

Monday 31st August through Tuesday 1st September sees a pulse of bigger swell, 5ft to 7ft, but the wind goes onshore or cross-onshore. The energy is high (1873 to 2358), but the quality is marginal. These days are for the keen, not the picky.

Wednesday 2nd September is a standout morning. Glassy, 6ft SW swell, 16-second period, and very strong energy (1681). The reef will be handling that size cleanly, offering long, powerful walls. This is another top session for experienced surfers.

Thursday 3rd September morning is glassy, 4ft SW swell, 15-second period, with moderate energy (839). Good.

Friday 4th September onward, the swell drops to 4ft - 4ft, and the wind is onshore, so quality drops right off. The energy is weak to moderate (462 to 742). The last real highlight is Wednesday 9th September – morning glassy, 5ft SW swell, 19-second period, and the combined energy is very strong (2382). That’s a long range call, but it’s a promising one. The afternoon is glassy with a 7ft SW swell, 18-second period, and massive energy (2715). That is a big, powerful session for experts only.

Crowds are possible here, especially on the clean mornings. The reef is exposed and consistent, so it draws a crowd when it’s good.

Rusty out.
