The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Bit of a flat outlook for the next couple of weeks, I gotta be honest. We’ve got a 16-day window but the start is dead quiet. Nothing worth paddling out for at Lagide for the first week, no recommendations at all until Monday the 11th of August. That’s a solid stretch of flatness or junk surf.
The best on offer in the whole period: Honestly, there’s no true standout. We’re looking at a couple of mornings that might just about be surfable, but they’re weak and short-period. If I have to pick, it’s Tuesday the 12th of August on the morning session. The wind goes glassy – calm, zero wind – and the water is a mild 67°, which is pretty normal for this time of year (anomaly is -0.5°, so just average). You’ll find ankle-to-knee high stuff at 3ft from the NNW with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a super short, weak windswell – combined energy is only 181 (moderate wave energy). It’ll be small and gutless, but at least it’ll be clean and uncrowded. The break is a beach and reef setup (Lagide) that’s fairly exposed to the swell, getting a bit of size here and there. It’s rated advanced and fairly consistent, but you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. A short period like 6 seconds means the waves will be close together and lacking push, so don’t expect any power.
The rest of the rundown:
- Monday the 11th of August morning: Glassy again with NNW wind swell at 4ft, 6-second period. Combined energy of 111 – still weak. It’s surfable but nothing special. The afternoon goes cross-shore and choppy, so stick to the morning.
- Thursday the 13th of August morning: Slightly bigger at 5ft from the NNW, period up to 8 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 312 (moderate). But there’s a light cross-onshore breeze that’ll put a bit of texture on it. Marginal, but the best size of the entire outlook. Still nothing to get excited about.
The long-range stuff (second week): From Thursday the 14th onward, wind turns strong onshore (N to NNE, 16 to 22 mph) and the swell jumps to 6ft. Combined energy hits 559 (strong wave energy) on the morning. But with that onshore wind and the mooshed-out shape, it’s gonna be choppy and messy – more of a kite-surfing show than a clean surf session. The period stays short (9 seconds at best), so no long lines.
Overall, mate, the outlook is pretty grim. If you’re desperate, set the alarm for the 12th of August morning for some glassy, knee-high dribble. Otherwise, save the wax.

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.
