The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story, just in feet and miles per hour for you.
It's a tough stretch ahead for Lagide. The first couple of weeks are mostly a write-off. We're staring down a long, frustrating gap with pretty much nothing rideable. The surf quality is just not there, with the wind and the swell not lining up at all. You're looking at a solid 12 or 13 days of mostly poor conditions before we finally see a glimmer of hope.
The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.
Tuesday morning, August 4th, you get a little sniff of something with clean conditions and a light WSW breeze, but the swell is tiny, just 3ft from the WNW and the energy is weak (137). It's surfable, but just barely. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
After that, it's back to the grind. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets messy and lumpy. There's a pulse of bigger swell around the 10th and 11th, with waves hitting 6ft and combined energy ramping up to strong (447), but the wind is howling straight onshore from the north. It's gonna be a choppy, blown-out mess. That kind of setup with a beach and reef break like this? Probably more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
The one standout—and I mean the *only* standout—is Saturday morning, August 15th. This is your window. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and we've got a solid 6ft swell from the NNW. Combined energy is high (287). The period is short, just 7 seconds, so it won't have that long, grindy wall, but the glassy conditions are gonna make it look a whole lot better than anything else we've seen. The swell is a touch over 5ft, so it might be a bit much for beginners, but for the rest of you, this is the one to aim for. It's the only time the forecast says "expect good surf conditions."
After that little burst, it fades out again into the small stuff and onshore wind for the rest of the window.
So there you have it. A long, quiet spell, and one morning that could be worth the wait. Keep your eyes on that Saturday the 15th.

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.
