Lagide surf guide
Surf: The best spot on the north side of town is this consistent left hand reef break that is offshore with a S wind. It’s a mellow but long ride and crowds are certain. Low tide is sharp and shallow and high tide a little bouncy.
Environment: Beware of urchins
Surf: General: This long, super-fun left sits in front of the car-park at Lagide and is the first thing you see when you pull up. There's a mellow take off, before it walls up into a reeling top to bottom lefthander that peels and peels over a flat reef. There's a dry hair paddle out around the break. All this adds up to one thing - crowds. The take-off point is tiny and many try to take off deep /on the wrong side of the peak to steal a march on the masses.
