The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at what we’ve got for Lagide over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, it’s not shaping up to be a classic run. There are long gaps with nothing worth paddling out for, and the periods where there is some swell are mostly sabotaged by strong onshore winds.
The first real chance you’ll see is a glimmer on Tuesday morning, August 4th. A 3 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and right on the money, the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare window of clean conditions. The combined energy is weak at 136, so it’s not going to be pumping, but for a quick splash on a longboard where you just want to feel the glide, that’s your only window in the first week. That morning, the water temp is 67°, about average for this time of year.
Then we hit a major dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon right through until the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, it’s basically a write-off. That’s about a week of mostly onshore wind and messy or tiny surf, with the exception of some clean but tiny 2 ft stuff on the 11th that’s barely worth the walk.
The real standout, and the only time I’d get excited, is Thursday afternoon, August 13th. That’s the day. You’ve got a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and it’s clean with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy climbs to 320, which is a solid jump from the weak stuff we’ve been seeing. For a beach and reef break setup like Lagide, that clean 3 ft groundswell on an offshore wind is as good as it gets in this outlook. Keep in mind, this break is an advanced wave, and it can get crowded – expect company on a Thursday that looks that clean.
After that high point, the last few days of the window fall apart again. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th bring in bigger lumps of swell (4 ft to 6 ft from the NW), but with that comes 18-19 mph onshore winds. It’s going to be a messy, blown-out wall of whitewater. Not for paddling.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, line up Thursday the 13th for the afternoon session. Tuesday the 4th morning is a consolation prize if you’re desperate. Otherwise, it’s a blank run for much of the forecast.

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.
