The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for the spot. To be straight with you, the first few days are flat and ugly – you’ll want to wait for the good windows.
Lagide (beach and reef) – Friday the 11th is a complete bust: onshore wind, tiny waves, nothing doing. Saturday the 12th morning shows a little life with a 4ft swell from the NNW, but the real win is that glassy glass-off – wind is light out of the NNE, and it’ll be clean as glass. Water temp is 64°, which is much colder than usual for this time, so don’t skimp on the rubber.
Sunday the 13th morning is a serious standout. We’ve got 4ft of northwest groundswell with a very long 13-second period. The wind is offshore from the SE and light – that’s clean, lined-up waves with some grunt. The swell energy is stout (462). Dawn session is the call. The afternoon gets cross-shore and a bit bumpy.
Monday the 14th morning repeats the trick – 3ft NW swell, 11-second period, offshore SSE breeze, clean. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be fun on a shortboard or a step-up. The afternoon goes cross-shore and messy again.
Then we hit a rough stretch. From Tuesday the 15th through Friday the 18th, it’s all onshore wind and junk. The swell pumps up to nearly 10ft on Wednesday the 16th, but with 22 mph north wind blowing straight onshore, it’s just a blown-out mess – that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddling. The energy is massive (1238), but the quality is zero.
Saturday the 19th of September morning brings a beautiful reset: 3ft of NW groundswell with a long 14-second period. Wind is light cross-offshore from the SE, so the faces are clean and groomed. Energy is solid (538). Small but high quality – perfect for a log or a fish. Sunday the 20th morning is similar: 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, light SE wind, clean. Another good session.
After that, Tuesday the 22nd through Friday the 25th is back to strong north winds and messy onshore surf. The swell hits 8ft on the 25th, but with 22 mph wind on it, that’s a hard pass. Not worth the battle.
The two sessions to circle: Sunday the 13th morning and Saturday the 19th morning. They’re the ones where the swell, wind, and period all line up for clean, fun waves.
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.
