The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a bit of a wasteland. The north-northwest wind is just hammering the coast, with onshore flow day after day, making a mess of what little swell is out there. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild to report on that front.
The first real glimmer doesn’t come until the morning of September 6th, a Sunday. That’s when we finally see a shift. We’re looking at Lagide (beach and reef) picking up a NNW swell around 3 ft, but the big news is the wind. It’s coming out of the southwest, a solid cross-off breeze, and that’s going to clean things right up. The swell period stretches out to 11 seconds, giving it some real groundswell punch. The wave energy is moderate (367). It’s a solid little window for the advanced crew. The swell direction is a good match for the break’s preferred NNW direction. This is the standout of the first week. Expect some crowds here, as it's often busy.
The next crack comes on the morning of Thursday, September 10th. Another cross-off breeze from the southwest, cleaner conditions, with a 4 ft swell from the NW pushing through with a 10-second period. The energy is a bit weaker (293) and the wind might get a bit questionable later in the day, but the morning is tidy.
After that, it’s back to the grind. The wind goes onshore again, and the swell gets small and messy. It’s a real dry spell until the very end of the forecast.
Now, the real headline. Skip ahead to the morning of September 16th, a Wednesday. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The wind drops to nearly nothing – a glassy 5 km/h (3 mph) breeze from the north. The swell is a solid 6 ft from the WNW, with a 10-second period. The energy is strong (960). This is going to be a serious session for the experts. The waves will have power, and with that glassy surface, the ocean will be butter. The onshore wind is completely gone. This is the best swell on offer for the entire 16 days, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed. For beginners, this 6 ft swell is going to be a handful.
That’s the story. A couple of tidy windows early, a long gap of junk, and then a potential classic at the end.
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.
