Lagundri - The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk surf at Lagundri - The Point. This is a proper reef break, wide open to SW swells, and we’ve got a solid run of groundswell lining up. Water temp is around 86°, right where it should be for this time of year—nothing out of the ordinary.

We start Monday, July 6, with action right away. Monday morning, a few clouds, light breeze from the NE, glassy flat water, and a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. Combined energy is 764—that’s moderate, but with that long period, it’ll have some punch. Conditions are glassy, so the point will be smooth. In the afternoon, wind swings S, still glassy, swell edges up to 3ft.

Tuesday morning, the swell is 4ft from the SW, still that long 16-second period, but the wind is cross-shore from the NE, putting a few bumps on the face. It’s okay, not great. Tuesday afternoon, wind goes cross-offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, swell drops to 3ft, and it cleans up nicely.

Wednesday brings a bigger jump—swell hits 5ft to 5ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds. Combined energy goes into strong territory at 1135 Wednesday morning. But the wind stays cross-shore from the NE at 6 mph, so the surface is ruffled. This is the first day the swell tops 5ft, so if you’re not experienced, stay on the beach. Wednesday afternoon is the same story.

Thursday is a write-off—swell holds at 5ft and 5ft, but wind is onshore from the SE and SSE. That’s choppy, ugly surf.

Now for the good stuff. Friday, July 10, is a standout. Friday morning, glassy conditions from the SE at just 3 mph, with a 5ft SW groundswell and a 16-second period. Combined energy is 1318—that’s strong, serious energy. The report says excellent for experienced surfers, and I agree. At that size, with that period, it’s a big, clean, powerful wave for advanced crew. Crowds are possible, so be ready.

Friday afternoon, wind turns cross-onshore, spoiling it a little.

Saturday and Sunday fade—swell drops to 4ft to 5ft, period shortens, and cross-onshore wind stays. Not worth the paddle.

Then we get another gem. Monday, July 13 morning, glassy ENE wind, tiny 2ft SW swell but a wild 21-second period—that’s a very long-period groundswell. Combined energy is 818, moderate. The sets will be spaced way out, but when they come, they’ll be smooth. This one is for the patient longboarder.

Tuesday, July 14, is another standout. Tuesday morning, glassy NE wind, 4ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period. Combined energy is 1200 strong. The report says excellent for experienced surfers. This is clean, powerful, and hitting the optimum SW direction. Tuesday afternoon is glassy from the S, same size, period 17 seconds—another all-day session.

The rest of the week is good but not spectacular. Wednesday through Friday mornings have glassy conditions with 4ft to 5ft SW swells, periods 15 to 18 seconds. Consistent and clean.

The final weekend winds up. Sunday, July 19, sees the swell push to 6ft from the SW, 16-second period, combined energy 1590—very strong. But the wind is onshore from the ESE and SE at 3 to 6 mph, so the surface is bumpy. For the hardcore advanced surfer, the power is there, but the wind hurts the quality.

Best bets: Friday morning, July 10 and Tuesday, July 14. Clean, big, proper groundswell on that reef. Get out there.

Rusty.
