Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lagide over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Lagide over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry gap with no good surf on offer right from the start. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Friday the 17th, and even then, it’s not looking great. The wind is onshore, the swell is short-period and messy, and the whole setup is just a bit of a letdown. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (109 on the Friday morning), but the conditions are poor. This pattern of onshore wind and weak, short-period swell just drags on.
The only time things start to lift a little is around Saturday the 25th. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the NNW, which is the best height we’ll see, but it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be a bit choppy. The energy jumps up to 252 – moderate, but still not clean. Even then, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” The swell period is only 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be a quality wave.
For a break that’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and with the optimum direction being NNW, the swell direction is about right, but everything else is off. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore almost the entire time, and the water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5 ft until the 25th, so that’s not the issue. The problem is the lack of clean, well-shaped waves. Honestly, with the wind and chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
We don’t get a proper clean window at all. The best you can hope for is a session on the 25th morning if you’re desperate, but it’s not a standout. The long-range stuff on the 27th has a little more period (8 seconds) and a bit more energy (175), but again, onshore wind.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The break is fairly consistent, so it’s a bit of a surprise to see such a blank run, but the forecasts can change. For now, I’d wait.
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.
