The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya. Let’s get straight into it.
We’re talkin’ about Lagide here, a beach-and-reef setup that’s fairly consistent but picky about the wind. The whole sixteen-day window is a bit of a rollercoaster. Right off the bat, we’re in a rough patch – Thursday the 10th through to Saturday the 12th is a write-off. Strong northerly winds are blowin’ right onshore, making a mess of things, so don't even bother paddlin’ out. The water’s sittin’ at 65°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a thicker suit.
Sunday the 13th morning is where it starts to get interestin’. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the NW with a long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy – and a light offshore breeze from the SE. The combined energy of all swells is moderate at 432. It’s not huge, but it’ll be shaped up nice for the more advanced crew. The afternoon gets a bit messy with cross-shore wind, but that morning window is your best bet early on.
Monday the 14th is a true standout. Morning session is glassy – dead calm wind with a 3ft NW swell at 11 seconds. The energy is a solid 317, and it’s goin’ to be clean as a whistle. For Lagide, light offshore or glassy conditions are gold, and this is about as good as it gets for a small day. If you can get out there, do it.
Then we hit a brutal long gap. From Monday afternoon all the way through Saturday the 19th, it’s pretty much all onshore northerly winds, blowing hard at times – 18 to 22 mph – with some bigger swell mixed in (8ft on the 16th and 17th), but it’s gonna be blown-out and ugly. That’s expert-only territory if anyone’s silly enough to try.
Finally, we get a glimpse of hope. Sunday the 21st morning – again, another standout. A clean 5ft NW groundswell (12-second period) with a light offshore breeze from the south. The combined energy is strong at 754. This one is lookin’ proper, with clean conditions and some push behind it. For the more experienced surfers at Lagide, this is your session.
We’ve got another smaller window on Monday the 23rd morning – glassy conditions again with a solid 6ft NW swell at 13 seconds. Energy is very strong at 903. This is a big, clean groundswell, but fair warnin’: with a period that long, it might be a bit straight at this beach-and-reef setup; better if you can find a corner that lines it up. Still, a morning glass-off with that much energy is rare and worth a look.
The very end of the run, Friday the 25th, sees a massive 8ft NNW swell roll in with 12-second period – huge energy at 1946. That’s strong to very strong wave energy, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be messy. That’s strictly for expert chargers only, and even then, conditions are marginal.
So, to wrap it up: your two best shots are Monday the 14th morning for tiny, clean perfection, and Sunday the 21st morning for a bigger, clean groundswell. The rest is a lot of waitin’ and watchin’ the wind.
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.
