The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Alright, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through for Lagundri - The Point, a classic advanced reef break that handles a SW direction best. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice.
It’s a bit of a slow burner to start. Monday the 7th is pretty average, with a light cross-on breeze and moderate wave energy (1074). Not worth getting the wettie on for. Tuesday and Wednesday are similar – small, mediocre, with a bit of stormy weather about. You’re best off sitting this part out.
Then Thursday the 10th morning is our first real highlight. Skies are clear, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 5 ft SW swell with a nice long 16-second period. The energy is in the sweet spot (1207) – that’s proper groundswell. This will be clean, lined up, and a joy for the experienced crew. Keep in mind, with that long period, it’ll be best handled here at the point, not down the beach.
Friday the 11th through to Monday the 14th see the swell building. Friday morning pushes 5 ft from the SW, still with a long period, but the wind is a bit flukey. Saturday the 12th afternoon offers a bigger 6 ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period and strong energy (2945) – that’s proper power, but watch the afternoon seabreeze and storm risk. Sunday the 13th afternoon is a standout: glassy conditions, 7 ft SW at 17 seconds, and excellent for experienced surfers. This is big, clean, and powerful – not for beginners.
The second week keeps it interesting. Monday 16th morning gives us a glassy 5 ft SW swell – clean and fun. A bit of a drop on the 17th with some fresh cross-offshore wind, but the 6 ft SW swell stays solid. The real standout of the whole forecast lands on Saturday the 19th: glassy conditions both morning and afternoon, with 8 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds and massive energy (2579). This is expert territory – big, clean, and firing. Sunday the 20th holds good size but the wind starts to shift cross-on. Monday the 21st morning looks excellent again with a glassy 5 ft SSW swell. The run tapers off through Tuesday the 22nd, with smaller surf and a bit of chop.
Overall, the best of the best is Saturday the 19th – two sessions of clean, glassy, proper groundswell. Thursday the 10th morning and Sunday the 13th afternoon are also crackers. This place is consistent and the crowds are only sometimes an issue, so if you’re driven and experienced, you’ll do well.
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.
