The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cast an eye over the next couple of weeks at our local spot.
We've got a pretty bleak run ahead for a while, I gotta be honest. The first week or so is a write-off with strong, steady northerlies keeping things messy. There's a real gap there with no surf worth paddling out for. The energy is there but the wind is just ruining it. Then, right at the back end of the forecast, we see a little shift that might give us a window.
For the first five or six days, it's a no-go. The breeze is howling from the north, often around the 15 to 19 mph mark, which just puts a chop on everything. On Monday, August 31st, we've got a 4ft to 5ft NW groundswell pushing in, but with those strong onshore winds, the combined energy (348-473) goes nowhere.
We finally get a break in the wind early on Thursday, September 3rd, with a light NNW breeze at 3 mph. The swell is small though, only 4ft from the NNW with a short 7-second period. Combined energy is weak at 149. It’s clean but just not enough to get excited about.
The whole first week and a half is like that. There’s a pulse of longer-period swell around Sunday, September 6th, with a 12-second period from the NNW and 4ft of swell. But even that morning has a cross-onshore wind, and the rating is poor. Combined energy hits 552, but it's just not clean enough.
The real standout – and the only one worth highlighting – comes much later. Look at Monday, September 14th. That morning we’ll have a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at just 9 mph, cleaning things right up. The swell is a modest 4ft from the WNW, but with a 9-second period it'll have some shape. The combined energy is a solid 417, and the wave comment actually says "clean." This is our best bet by a long shot.
Then on Monday afternoon there's a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind swings to the SW at 16 mph, still a cross-offshore direction. That keeps the surface clean, with a similar 4ft WNW swell (combined energy 410). It's still only a marginal call, but in this dry spell, it’s the only fish worth chasing.
Forget the rest of the week after that. Tuesday the 15th has the wind swinging back and clean again, but the scores are poor.
So, if you're keen, pencil in Monday, September 14th. Lagide will be the pick, with a clean 4-4ft swell from the WNW. It's a beach and reef setup, and it's fairly consistent, but with the onshores we've had, you might actually get a bit of space in the water. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The long-range promise for that Monday is worth a look, but don't hold your breath on the rest. It's been a tough run.
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.
