Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one main spot on the radar, and it’s a good one for those who know what they’re doing.

The overall pattern is driven by a solid, long-period SSW groundswell that’s going to be pulsing in for a solid stretch. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to fuss about there.

The first real action kicks off on Wednesday, 5 August. It’s not the biggest, but it’s got that clean, offshore feel. Lagundri - The Point is showing a 5ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, and with a gentle offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph, it’s looking clean. The wave energy is already strong (1501). By the afternoon, it holds at 5ft, wind still offshore, and the energy ticks up a notch (1617). This is a reef break, very consistent, and it’s an advanced wave. It can get crowded here sometimes, so be prepared for a few others in the water.

Thursday, 6 August is a step up. The morning brings a 6ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze from the NW at 12 mph. The energy is very strong (2474). This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 7ft, though the wind picks up a little.

Friday, 7 August keeps the quality high. The morning is a solid 6ft, and the afternoon really pumps up to 7ft with an 18-second period and a massive energy reading (2923). Winds are offshore all day. This is the kind of day that’ll have your heart pumping.

Saturday, 8 August is another top day. Morning has 7ft and a gentle offshore, energy is very strong (2627). The afternoon stays big at 7ft.

Sunday, 9 August is a standout for the glass. Both morning and afternoon are glassy, with a light variable breeze. The swell is a solid 6ft with a 15-16 second period. The energy is still strong (1658-1825). This is the pick of the first week – clean, powerful, and a bit of a dream setup for the advanced surfer.

Into the second week, things get a bit more mixed. Monday, 10 August through Wednesday, 12 August sees onshore winds and some cross-onshore conditions, making the surf a bit more ragged. The swell is still there, but the quality drops. The swell energy is still moderate to strong (1559-2152), but the wind is a factor.

Thursday, 13 August and Friday, 14 August morning are still messy, but Friday afternoon, 14 August turns glassy again with a 5ft SSW swell and a 13-second period. That’s a nice surprise. Saturday, 15 August morning is dead flat calm, glassy, with a 4ft swell. A nice little window.

Sunday, 16 August and Monday, 17 August are small and a bit wind-affected. The energy is weak (515-878).

Tuesday, 18 August morning glassy again with a 6ft SSW swell. That’s a good sign.

Then we get to the real headline act. Wednesday, 19 August morning. This is the one to circle. A 10ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is a massive 6295. That’s exceptional. This is a beast of a swell, only for very experienced, expert surfers. It’s too big for beginners and will be a serious test for anyone. The afternoon holds at 10ft with a light cross-offshore wind, still clean.

Thursday, 20 August morning is still 10ft and glassy, energy at 4195. Another day for the experts.

So, the best on offer is Sunday, 9 August for the clean, powerful, glassy conditions, and then the big one on Wednesday, 19 August for the serious, heavy groundswell. That second one is a bit further out, so it’s promising but we’ll keep an eye on it.

For the rest of the second week, it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind, but the swell doesn’t disappear. You’ll just have to pick your windows.
