The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead for what we’ve got here. The next two weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle session. The finder is spitting out zeros across the board for a solid chunk of time, and only a couple of flickers of hope way out there.
Things start off quiet. There’s a gap of several days with absolutely nothing worth mentioning. The first real glimmer of something doesn’t turn up until the morning of Saturday the 15th. At that point, we’re looking at Lagide, a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed. The swell is coming in at 5ft from the NNW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 497. But the wind is onshore, and the report calls it “marginal.” It’s a tough one, and honestly, it’s more of a look-see than a call to action.
Now, the one morning that has my attention, and the only real standout in this whole outlook, is Sunday the 16th. Early on, Lagide is showing a clean 5ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate at 287. But the big win here is the wind – it’s glassy, with a NNE breeze so light it’s barely there. That’s a massive positive. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year, so no shock there. It’s not a massive swell, but for a clean, lined-up wave on a beach and reef, that’s your best shot. Late Sunday afternoon, the cross-onshore wind picks up and messes it up again.
After that, it’s another long stretch of nothing. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets messy. By Thursday the 20th, the swell size jumps up to 6ft and 6ft with strong wave energy (reading 411 and 545), but the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph. That’s a choppy, blown-out mess. The swell peaks on Friday the 21st with a solid 8ft from the NNW at 9 seconds, and very strong energy of 1063. But again, onshore wind at 16 mph. For the experts, there might be a heavy, powerful wave in there, but for the rest of us, that’s a washing machine. It’s worth saying that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: if you’re hanging for a surf, set your alarm for the morning of Sunday the 16th. Get on it early while it’s glassy. Everything else is a long wait for a blown-out mess.
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.
