The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the vast majority of the next two weeks. The wind is your enemy here, and it rarely lets up. We’re looking at a long, frustrating run of onshore slop, and for a spot that wants a clean NNW swell, it’s just not getting the love it needs.
The first proper surf we can talk about doesn’t show up until Sunday, September 6th. That’s a solid week of waiting. From August 30th right through, it’s a grim story of moderate to fresh northerly winds smashing up the swell. The waves are there, but they’re a messy, blown-out affair. The combined energy is moderate at best, hitting 681 on the 31st and 565 on the 1st, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. You’d be better off looking at a kite if you’re desperate to get wet.
Then, on the morning of Sunday, the 6th, it finally turns. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the NW, and the swell, while only 4 ft from the NW, has a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy reads 381, but the conditions are clean. This is your one standout. The guidance says Lagide is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, and it’s looking for a NNW swell. The direction is a touch off, but with that glassy morning, it’s going to be the best you’ll see. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, the wind swings cross-shore or goes back onshore, and the quality drops straight back into the gutter. The swell sticks around, getting bigger again on September 9th with an 8 ft NNW swell and a combined energy of 1602, but it’s pinned under a fresh 19 mph onshore breeze. That’s expert-only territory if you’re mad enough, but it’ll be a washing machine. There’s a flicker of hope on the 14th of September, with a 4 ft, 12-second swell and a light cross-on breeze, giving a combined energy of 816, but it’s only marginal. Honestly, the only day that’s truly worth your time is that Sunday morning, the 6th. Get out there early, because it doesn’t last.
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.
