Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Lagundri - The Point. This is a pure reef setup, exposed to the southwest, and it’s gonna be pumping for the experienced crew. The water is sitting at 86°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off Saturday morning, August 8th, with glassy conditions and a clean 7ft swell from the SSW. The period is a long 16 seconds, so this is proper groundswell with some serious energy pushing through (combined energy of 2578). The wind is dead calm, making for a glassy morning session. The afternoon holds up just as well – still glassy with a 7ft SSW swell, though there’s a risk of thunderstorms around.

Sunday morning, August 9th, is another cracker. A slight air from the SE keeps it glassy, with a 6ft SSW swell and a 15-second period. The energy is still strong (1802). However, the afternoon sees a shift to onshore wind, making the conditions more marginal. Monday morning, August 10th, is back to glassy with a 6ft SSW swell, and then Monday afternoon throws a curveball – a 4ft swell with a massive 22-second period (combined energy of 2094). That’s a very long-period groundswell; at a reef point like this, it’ll be incredibly lined up and powerful, but expect long lulls between sets.

Tuesday, August 11th, is a standout. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon is an absolute gem. Glassy conditions, a 8ft swell from the SSW, and a period of 18 seconds. The energy is huge (3465). This is the best on offer in the first week – big, clean, and powerful. Wednesday through Friday morning continue the trend with clean, glassy conditions and solid 6ft to 6ft SSW swells. The energy remains moderate to strong (1222 to 1931).

Now, August 19th and 20th – mark your calendars. Wednesday the 19th has a morning cross-on breeze, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off wind and a 8ft SSW swell at 17 seconds. The energy is massive (4250). Thursday the 20th is even better. Morning has clean cross-off wind, and the afternoon is glassy, both with 8ft SSW swell. The energy is huge (3871 for the morning, 3437 for the afternoon). Friday the 21st morning is glassy with another 8ft SSW swell, hitting the highest energy reading of the whole forecast (4331). This is the true standout for the second week – big, clean, and powerful groundswell, perfect for the experienced surfer.

The run fades a bit after that. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd see stronger onshore winds and choppy conditions, with the swell dropping from 7ft down to 4ft. The energy is still moderate (1724 to 2388), but the wind ruins the quality.

The setup is a reef and can get crowded sometimes, so keep that in mind. Overall, we have a fantastic window from August 8th through to August 21st, with Tuesday the 11th and Thursday/Friday the 20th-21st being the absolute best. Don’t sleep on it.

This is Rusty, signing off.
