The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lagide. Gotta say, straight up, this stretch ain't lookin' pretty. The whole 16-day window is a blank run – not a single sesh worth paddlin' out for. That happens here sometimes, but it’s still a gut punch.
The trouble is the wind. For days on end it’s bang onshore out of the north through to the northwest, just strippin’ any chance of a clean face. The swell’s around, but it’s all short-period, weak junk. Tomorrow arvo (Saturday 1st) you’ve got a tiny 2 ft from the west with a 9-second period and a northerly breeze blasting it – combined wave energy is (179) but it’s just messy. That same story just repeats: Sunday 2nd, same deal with 2 ft, energy (144) and (125), cross-onshore chop. Monday 3rd actually sees a clean window in the mornin’ with light SW cross-off, but the swell’s only 2 ft with low period, and the combined energy is pitiful (71). Not worth wettin' a wetsuit for.
It gets bigger toward the second week – by Sunday 9th you’ve got 5 ft from the NNW with period around 9 seconds, but those north winds are howlin’ at 16 mph, blowin’ straight onshore. Combined energy climbs to (473) and (429), but it’s all closeout mush. Not a surfer’s wave. Then from Thursday 14th into the weekend, the swell pushes over 6 ft to 7 ft – that’s too much for beginners and gets into expert territory – but again with those strong north winds (19-25 mph) it’s just slop. Combined energy hits (476), (713), (574) but with that wind, you’d be better off lookin’ at a kite.
Temps? Well, the water temp anomaly doesn’t get flagged in the data, so it’s about average for the time of year – nothin’ wild.
So yeah, no standouts here. The whole 16 days is a write-off. This stretch is normally inconsistent, so a long gap like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary. Forecasts can change, but for now, give the board a rest and check back later.

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.
