The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: if you’re looking for good waves at Lagide over the next 16 days, you’re going to be disappointed. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t playing ball.
Right now, starting Thursday the 6th of August, we’ve got a long, flat run. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. But the surf? Painfully poor. We’re looking at small, weak, short-period NNW windswell in the 1 ft to 4 ft range for the first week, with combined energies barely breaking 100, often much lower. And here’s the kicker—the wind is blowing straight onshore from the north or NNW at 15 to 18 mph for the majority of that time. That means bumpy, messy conditions with no real shape. The whole setup is a beach and reef affair, and honestly, with the wind and weak swell, it’d be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
From the 11th into the middle of the month we see a slight bump in energy, with combined swell energy hitting numbers between 121 and 287, but the swell is still short-period (6 to 10 seconds) and the winds stay onshore or cross-onshore. Nothing cleans up. The consistent theme here is “poor surf conditions” every single session. There’s not a single standout in this entire 16-day window.
The closest we get to anything bigger is around Tuesday the 18th of August, when the swell height pushes up to 8 ft in the morning with a combined energy of 913. That’s moderate-to-strong energy. But with a NNW 22 mph wind blowing straight onshore, it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s expert-only territory if anyone is silly enough to paddle out, and with the period only 9 seconds, the waves won’t have much shape. For the average surfer, it’s a write-off.
Then it fades again through the 21st, with the combined energy dropping to just 47 on the Friday morning, smaller than 2 ft, and the wind turning cross-onshore. Another gap of several days with nothing worthwhile.
I hate to say it, but there’s no hidden gem here. No session to get excited about. If this is your local, you might save yourself the drive and wait for the next system to roll through. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a frustrating blank run for Lagide.
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.
