The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Lagide has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook for Lagide. For a spot that’s a fairly consistent beach and reef set-up, the conditions are mostly letting us down. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with only a couple of very marginal windows where you might get wet. The swell direction is from the NW to NNW for most of it, which is the optimum direction for the break, but the wind is the killer.
The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until Wednesday, the 22nd of July, with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW. It’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the wave energy is weak at only 89, and the waves will be small and weak.
We then have a massive gap. From Wednesday afternoon right through to late July and into early August, it’s mostly onshore, cross-on, or just messy wind. The swell does build up nicely, especially around Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, with 5ft to 6ft from the NW and NNW, and combined energy hitting 361 to 406 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is howling from the N and NNW at 12-18 mph, making it onshore or cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddler’s dream.
On Monday the 27th of July, there’s a brief glimmer. The morning shows 4ft from the NNW with what’s described as "glass" conditions – that’s a light wind state! The energy is moderate at 198, and it’s clean. That’s your one true highlight in this whole outlook. The swell is a bit short-period at 7 seconds, meaning it’s not a powerful groundswell, but for a short window, it might offer a few rideable lines. The water temperature anomaly doesn't have a value recorded, so we’ll say it’s about average for the time of year.
After that, it’s back to onshore wind and poor surf. The swell stays around 4ft to 6ft through the end of July and into August, with some size building again on the 3rd of August (5ft, energy 505 – strong). But again, the wind is relentless from the north at 12-18 mph. All these days are labelled as poor surf conditions.
So, the best of a bad bunch is Monday morning, the 27th of July. If you’ve got a free morning, get out there before the wind turns. It’s the only time you’ll find clean, glassy conditions, even if the swell is a bit weak and short. Crowds are noted as "often" here, so you might have some company, but for the quality on offer, it’s your only real shot.
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.
