The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
Alright, this is looking like a proper stretch for Lagundri - The Point. This exposed reef break has a long run of surf lined up starting from this Saturday, the 29th of August. The water's running about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick things off on Saturday morning (Aug 29) with the point waking up clean. You've got a solid 5ft swell pushing in from the southwest, period around 14 seconds, and it's glassy with a whisper of a breeze from the NNW. Combined energy is cooking at (842). It's going to be a great session, but remember, this is an advanced spot, so leave the beginners on the beach.
Then Sunday the 30th shows off what this place can do. The morning is glassy again, though the swell drops to 3ft, but look at that period—21 seconds! That's a long-period groundswell. It'll be clean but expect those long waits between sets. The real standout, though, is Sunday afternoon. It's glassy, the swell picks up to 4ft from the SW with a 19-second period, and the combined energy jumps to (1195). That’s excellent quality for experienced surfers.
Monday the 31st morning sees the swell building nicely to 5ft (18s period) in glassy conditions and energy hitting (1851). This is another top-notch window. The size keeps pushing through the week. By Tuesday morning (Sep 1), we're into solid 7ft swell with glassy wind and massive energy at (2850). That’s getting into expert territory—powerful, clean, and pumping.
There's a bit of a lull around the 4th and 5th of September with some cross-onshore winds and smaller swells, but the quality is still there in the mornings if you pick your moments. It picks up again mid-week.
Overall, the clear standout here is Tuesday morning, September 1st. You’ve got 7ft of SW groundswell, a 17-second period, glassy conditions, and the energy reading is off the charts at (2850). That's as good as it gets for experts. The second best is Sunday afternoon, August 30th—slightly smaller at 4ft but with that crazy long 19-second period and glassy conditions; it’s a beautiful, clean wave for those who know the reef. Keep an eye on the crowds, though; it’s a spot that gets busy.
For the second week, the consistency holds. You’ll see solid 7ft to 7ft swells from the SW kicking around on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of September, with periods in the 16-to-17-second range. The wind looks more variable with some risk of storms, but when it’s glassy or clean, it’ll be firing again for the advanced crew.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Lagundri - The Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
