The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’re in for a pretty grim run for the next week and a half at Lagide. There’s nothing on offer right now and won’t be for a while. The first solid chance doesn’t pop up until Tuesday the 11th of August, so you’re looking at a good 12-day gap with basically no surf worth paddling out for. That’s a long dry spell, but it’s not unusual for this beach-and-reef setup when the swell windows just aren’t lining up.
Now, let’s talk about the only true standout in this 16-day window: Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. This is the one to circle. The swell comes up to 6ft from the NNW, with an 8-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate but building, sitting at 339. The real kicker here is the wind – glassy, absolutely dead calm. That means clean, smooth faces at Lagide. The break favours a NNW swell direction, so this is bang on. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are often around here, so expect some company. This is an advanced-level wave, and with the swell just over 5ft, it’s a bit much for beginners – better suited to those who know what they’re doing.
The rest of that day and the Wednesday morning see the swell holding around 6ft to 6ft (NNW), but the wind turns cross or cross-onshore, chopping things up. The energy is stronger – up to 490 on Wednesday morning – but the quality drops off fast with that wind.
Everything before that date is a write-off. Small, weak, onshore wind, and the combined energy barely cracks triple digits most days. Even when the wind goes offshore or cross-off, the swell is too small to do anything with – mostly around 2ft to 3ft and short period. There are a few clean-looking moments on Monday the 3rd and the 6th, but with energy down around 66 to 97, it’s just not enough to get excited about.
So, if you’ve got patience, save your energy for Tuesday the 11th. That morning is the pick of the whole outlook. After that, it fades back into small onshore slop.
Stay keen.

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.
