About Lagide

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces N (11°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (191°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 35). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 18°C in June, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Peniche, 4.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 9 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots, 1 dive site and 1 mountain bike area.

Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
