The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the outlook for Lagide for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a wild ride, but there are some moments to get excited about.
First up, it’s pretty grim right now. We’ve got a big 10-foot swell from the NNW, but it’s getting hammered by a 25-mph onshore north wind. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing freaky. That combined energy is massive at 1530, but the surf is a mess. For the next few days, strong onshore winds are just ruining everything. It’s not until the morning of Saturday the 19th that things start to look interesting.
That Saturday morning, September 19th, we see a sweet 8-foot swell from the NNW with a very long 13-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 2003. It’s a little cross-onshore, but with the wind barely breathing at 3 mph, it’s going to be super clean. This is a solid groundswell, and it’s going to be powerful, but at that size, it’s one for the experienced crew. This is the standout of the early period.
The real gem, though, is Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning is looking prime. We’ve got a 6-foot swell from the WNW with a 15-second period, and the wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the SE. It’s glassy out there. The combined energy is a strong 1487. This is the best on offer for the whole window—excellent waves for experienced surfers.
After that, there’s a bit of a lull and some iffy afternoon winds until the 26th of September. That Saturday morning is another great call for the advanced guys: a 6-foot WNW swell, 14-second period, and glassy conditions with a tiny breeze. The energy is 1368. It’s a real looker.
The last decent opportunity shapes up on Thursday the 1st of October. The morning offers a 6-foot NNW swell, 11-second period, and clean, cross-offshore conditions. It’s a good way to start October, but it’s a long way out so don’t lock it in just yet. Lagide is a beach and reef setup, so with these long-period swells, the points and reefs will be peeling better than the beach.
For the whole second week, the afternoons are mostly blown out with cross-on winds. The morning windows are the only real play. Overall, we’ve got a few days of trash at the start, then some solid, punchy swells for the keeners.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
