Smoothing jagged LIDAR?

Hi, we recently received LIDAR for a project but the line's are a bit of a zigzag (see attached). does anyone know how we could convert this into a smooth curve? I've tried converting to a spline but it just ends up as a wave. If anyone knows how we could turn this into presentable contours any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Is each vertex a located point? If so, how come the points are a strictly alternating zigzag? Does the machine fire rays in pairs, one of which has got de-calibrated? Does this look reliable, even before you start smoothing the curve?
  • Each point is it's own vertex, not really sure why it's like this, it was like this when we received it.
