The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.
To be straight up with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions that stretches almost the entire 16-day window. The only break we’re looking at is Lagide, a beach and reef setup that’s fairly consistent but it’s going to be a battle against the wind for the most part.
The water temp is sitting at about 67°, which is about average for this time of year. That’s one small mercy.
Monday the 3rd is a write-off. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a period of 9 seconds, but the cross-off wind is making a mess of things. The energy is weak, only measuring 72. Forget it.
Tuesday the 4th offers a tiny glimmer. Morning sees a 3ft swell from the west-northwest, period 9 seconds, and a light 5 km/h cross-off breeze. The wave energy is still only moderate at 132, but it’s clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The afternoon deteriorates with a cross-shore wind.
From Wednesday the 5th through to the end of the forecast on the 18th, it’s a real slog. Onshore winds from the north and north-northwest dominate, with speeds frequently hitting 12-16 mph. The swell height fluctuates between 1ft and 6ft, but the wind just ruins it. The period is often short, under 8 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves.
There is a slight uptick in combined swell energy around Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, with readings of 339 and 378 respectively, and swell hitting 6ft. But with onshore winds, that’s just a messy, blown-out 6ft. Not worth your time. The period on those days is only 7 seconds, so the energy is all chop.
Later in the second week, around the 11th and 12th, we see the swell period lengthen to 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The energy jumps to 251, but the swell direction is north-northwest, and we’ve got onshore wind. This longer-period groundswell can set up better at points or reefs, but at a beach and reef break like Lagide, a long period swell from the north can actually break a bit too straight, especially with onshore wind. It’s a frustrating tease.
The swell stays in the 5ft to 6ft range from the 15th to the 18th, with the energy climbing to 532 on the morning of the 18th. But it’s still onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy conditions.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this whole outlook. The consistent onshore wind just kills any potential. The only time we had a chance was the morning of Tuesday the 4th, but that was tiny. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your best bet, but manage your expectations. For the rest, leave the board in the car and maybe check the forecast again next week. Things can change.
Stay patient,
Rusty

Information about the Lagide Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lagide provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lagide can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lagide surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lagide) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Lagide 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Lagide is 5 km (3 miles) from Peniche. If you plan a holiday in Peniche, look for hotels and other accommodation in Peniche. Peniche has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
