The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards for Lagundri - The Point, so let’s get into it.
The overall pattern is pretty special. We’re looking at a consistent stretch of groundswell from the southwest, with a lot of glassy conditions. This is a reef break, so it’s one for the experienced crew, and it’s very consistent, so it won’t keep you waiting.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so a standard spring suit or shorty will do.
We kick off on Wednesday, July 15th. Morning is looking absolutely prime. We’ve got a 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and it’s glassy with a light NNW breeze. The combined energy is strong at 1253. This is a proper standout. The afternoon holds up just as well, dropping to 5ft but still glassy with a SSW wind.
Thursday, July 16th is another beauty. The morning sees a 5ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and it’s glassy with an easterly breeze. The afternoon stays clean with a 4ft SSW swell.
Through Friday, July 17th and Saturday, July 18th, the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the winds are offshore or glassy, keeping it clean. There’s a risk of thunderstorms, but the surf itself will be worth it.
Sunday, July 19th is a little smaller at 4ft, but still clean.
Then we get a second pulse. Monday, July 20th is a standout. The morning brings a 5ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is very strong at 1514. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 6ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore, so the morning is the clear winner.
Tuesday, July 21st morning is another banger, with 5ft SSW groundswell and glassy conditions. The afternoons from here start to get a bit of cross-onshore wind through Wednesday, making the mornings the prime time.
From Thursday, July 23rd through to Friday, July 24th, the swell drops to 4ft and then 3ft, but it’s still glassy and fun.
Saturday, July 25th sees a new pulse of very long-period SSW swell at 17 seconds, but it’s only 2ft. The energy is still moderate (679), and the winds are clean, so it’ll be a nice, mellow session.
The energy builds again for the end of the run. Monday, July 27th has a 3ft SW swell with a 21-second period – that’s a very long period, so the sets will be clean and powerful, but you’ll be waiting a while between them. The energy is solid at 870.
The real standout for the second week is Tuesday, July 28th. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell rising to 5ft in the afternoon, with a 18-second period. The morning is absolutely glassy with calm winds, and the afternoon stays glassy. The combined energy is very strong (1334 to 1397). This is a serious session for the advanced crew.
Wednesday, July 29th morning is still strong at 4ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore in the afternoon.
Thursday, July 30th morning wraps it up with a 4ft SW swell and a 15-second period, glassy winds, and very strong energy (1328). A fantastic way to finish.
Crowds are possible here, so get in early for the best of the glass.
The absolute best of the bunch: The morning of Wednesday, July 15th and the morning of Monday, July 20th are the top-tier sessions. For the second week, lock in Tuesday, July 28th – it’s a long-range call, but it looks promising.
Rusty out.

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.
