The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Lagide.
First off, the forecast gets off to a rough start. The entire first week is a write-off, from Monday the 31st of August right through to the following Saturday the 5th of September. The wind is hammering straight onshore from the north, and the wave quality is just shot. The swell is there, but it’s all blown out and messy. You’re looking at conditions that are poor for surfing every single day in that stretch. The water here is sitting at 68°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Then things start to look up. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday morning, the 6th of September. The wind swings around to a light ESE, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. The swell is 5 ft from the NNW, with a solid 12-second period, so there’s proper groundswell energy in the water (570 combined energy). The waves will be clean, with good shape. This is a standout session. It’s the best on offer in the whole outlook. The water is still a touch cool, but that wind is going to make it glassy. Just be aware that this break is fairly consistent, and it does get crowded often, so expect plenty of company out there.
The next Sunday morning, the 12th of September, is another decent shout. The wind is light from the WSW, staying cross-offshore and clean. Swell is a consistent 5 ft from the NNW, with an 8-second period (445 combined energy). It’s not the same quality as the 6th, but it’s a solid option for a clean paddle.
Looking way out to the second week, there’s a big pulse of energy on the 14th of September Monday afternoon. The forecast shows a 5 ft swell from the NW with a huge 17-second period, and the combined energy rockets up to 1368. That’s serious groundswell. But the wind is onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, so it’s going to be messy. The next morning, Tuesday the 15th, the swell hits 7 ft from the NW, with a 13-second period and a massive 1589 combined energy. The wind is light from the ENE, giving a cross breeze. That’s a lot of power, and it’s really only for experienced surfers. At that size, a beach and reef setup like Lagide could be a handful and might even be more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. It’s promising, but it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
