The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, but it’s looking like a long stretch of nothing special. The first real chance for a surf comes in, but honestly, it’s a grim start.
The first time we see any swell is on July 31st, but it’s a total dud. We’re talking tiny 1ft waves from the west-northwest with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is hammering onshore from the north all day. The combined energy is weak (36 to 59), and the water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year. It’s a write-off.
We roll into August 1st and 2nd, and it’s more of the same – bloomin’ onshore wind. The swell pushes up to 3ft from the north-northwest on Saturday, but the period drops to a shocking 6 seconds, making it short, weak, and messy. The energy is moderate (174) but the wind is just ruining it.
Then we get a little tease on August 3rd and 4th. The wind swings offshore and cross-offshore from the southwest and west-southwest, and the waves clean right up. The swell is still small, around 2ft, but it’s clean. The problem? It’s still just poor surf conditions with low energy (75 to 128). You’d be struggling to get a ride.
From August 5th right through to August 15th, it’s a relentless block of onshore wind from the north and north-northwest. The swell does build – we see 5ft on the 10th and again on the 13th from the north-northwest, with the combined energy climbing into the moderate to strong range (309 to 335). But it’s all onshore, all the time. That’s 11 days of wind blowing straight into the beach. The period is short (6 to 8 seconds), so it’s just a choppy, bumpy mess. For a spot like Lagide – a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell – this is just not happening for paddle surfing. With that much wind and building swell, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.
The long and short of it: There is no standout, no hidden gem, no session to get excited about. The entire 16-day window is a bust. The water temp is normal, the wind is wrong, and the swell is either too small or too messy. It’s a blank run, but for this area, these runs happen. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave your board in the car.
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.
