The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a slow start, but once this zone fires, it’s got some proper moments. The first couple of days are a bit of a dud, but from the weekend on, we’re in for some clean, powerful groundswell.
Lagundri - The Point is the only show in town. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are flat and messy – small 3ft swell with onshore wind, and the energy is weak. Don’t bother.
Then, Saturday 1st August morning – glassy. A clean 4ft SW swell with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1227). The reef will be totally lined up and hollow. This is a standout for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible, so get there at dawn.
Sunday 2nd August is glassy again with 4ft to 3ft swell. Beautiful. Monday 3rd stays clean with 5ft swell and a cross-off breeze.
Wednesday 5th August morning – glassy, 5ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, and the energy is a strong 1558. This is a top-tier moment. Thursday 6th and Friday 7th August are also huge: 6ft to 6ft, clean, offshore winds. That’s expert territory only. Anything over 5ft here is heavy.
There’s a small dip Sunday 9th through Monday 10th with onshore wind, but then Tuesday 11th August morning is back to glassy with 5ft S swell. Another window for experienced surfers.
Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th are glassy but smaller (5ft to 3ft). Then Friday 14th August morning – a monster 10ft SSW swell with an energy reading of 5102. That’s massive and dangerous, with onshore wind. Only the very best should even think about it.
For the best of the best, aim for Saturday 1st and Wednesday 5th August mornings. Clean, powerful, and glassy. The rest is for the brave.
Rusty.

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.
