The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some of you think.
Lagide is struggling. For the next week and a half, it’s pretty much unsurfable. The swell is tiny and weak, mostly coming in around 2 to 3 feet with a short period, and the wind is all wrong—cross-onshore or straight onshore, making the surface choppy and blown out. The water is sitting at about 69°, pretty normal for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about.
From the 23rd of July through the 29th of July, there’s a big gap with no decent surf at all. Just a waste of sand. Around the 28th of July, the swell bumps up to over 8 feet, but the wind is blowing a solid 18-22 mph from the north, straight onshore. The combined wave energy screams up to 975, meaning there’s power, but it’s messy and dangerous. That’s an expert-only scenario, and honestly, it’s way more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The only real chance for a clean wave comes on Thursday morning, July 30th. You’re looking at a clean 4-foot swell from the NNW, with a 10-second period, and the wind flips light offshore out of the SSE at only 6 mph. The wave energy sits at 291, so there’s some substance. That’s your window. The direction is right, the wind is good, and it’ll be clean. Not a guarantee this far out, but it’s the only light in the tunnel.
Friday morning, July 31st, is glassy with 3-foot NW swell and 10-second period, but it’s pretty weak (energy 151) and ordinary.
Bottom line: the first stretch is a total bust. If you want any sort of surf, circle Thursday morning, July 30th on your calendar. That’s the one.
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.
