The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Lagide is a tough one. We’re looking at a long 16-day window, and I’m sorry to say, there’s not a single standout session in the mix. The whole stretch is a write-off for anything decent, and it’s going to be a quiet few weeks.
We’ve got a big gap of poor conditions right from the start. Monday the 3rd of August kicks off with a tiny 2ft swell from the west at 9 seconds, and a cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is weak (72), and it’s just not worth paddling out. The whole first week is a bust – onshore winds from the north and northwest batter the place, with swell heights struggling to break 3ft on most days, and the energy stays low, hovering around 100 to 200. The water temps are about average for this time of year, but that’s no comfort when the surf is this flat and messy.
The middle of the week, from the 6th to the 8th, sees a little bump in size, hitting 5ft on Thursday the 6th morning, but the northerly wind is blowing straight onshore, and the combined energy (472) doesn’t translate to quality. The period is only 9 seconds, so it’s a weak, short-period wind swell. It’s downright ugly. The 14th of August shows a similar spike to 6ft, but again, it’s a north-northwest onshore mess, and the break is a beach-and-reef setup. Honestly, with the combination of strong onshore wind and poor surf quality, this is looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a day for a paddle board.
Even the second week keeps the poor trend. The 15th has a 5ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is cross-onshore, and the energy is moderate (347). It’s just not clean. The swell period never gets long enough to offer any real power, and the direction is never right for Lagide’s optimum from the NNW. The final days fizzle out into tiny, weak swells with fresh onshore winds.
Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. This is a blank run for the area. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just has nothing to offer. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don’t bother waxing up. Keep your gear in the shed.
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.
