The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Let’s be straight up – the first few days are a write-off for Lagide. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions starting Thursday the 27th of August, with rain showers and a strong 30 km/h cross-off wind. Not the kind of day you want to be paddling out. That pattern hangs on through the weekend and into the start of the week, with onshore winds and messy, weak waves. The wave energy is moderate at best, but the wind is just ruining it. You’re looking at a gap of about a week before things start to get interesting.
Then, things start to turn around. The standout window is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. The forecast is calling for glassy conditions with a light WNW wind, and a solid 4 ft swell from the NW with a long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, which will bring some nicely shaped, powerful waves. The combined energy is strong at 630, so there’s plenty of punch in the water. This is your best chance for a clean session, though be aware that a long-period swell like this can sometimes close out beach breaks, but Lagide is a beach and reef setup, so it should handle it well. Crowds are often around here, so get there early.
The next morning, Sunday the 6th of September, also has potential with a 5 ft NW swell and a lighter cross-onshore breeze, but it’s not as clean as Saturday. The energy drops a bit too. Later in the week, the morning of Thursday the 10th of September looks promising again with a clean cross-off wind from the SW and a 6 ft swell from the NNW. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions,” and the energy is moderate at 682. That’s another one to circle on the calendar.
The water temperature here is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
So, if you’re picking your moment, it’s Saturday the 5th of September. Glassy, long-period groundswell, clean conditions. The rest of the period is a mix of onshore junk and a few hopeful windows, but that Saturday morning is the real standout.
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.
