Lagido, Portugal, is a surf spot that thrives on consistent ground swells and favorable wind conditions, making it a reliable destination for surfers year-round. The best months for surfing here are generally from October through March, when ground swells dominate (66–91% frequency) and mean swell sizes range from 2.1m to 2.7m, providing powerful, well-formed waves. During this period, the swell energy is primarily driven by ground swells, which produce cleaner, more organized waves compared to wind swells. However, wind conditions are less favorable, with good wind days only occurring 20–25% of the time, meaning surfers often have to contend with onshore or cross-shore winds. The winter months, particularly December to February, offer the largest swells (2.6–2.7m) but also the highest likelihood of bad winds (78–79%). The shoulder months of October and November strike a decent balance with solid swell size and slightly better wind prospects than mid-winter. From April onward, the swell composition shifts toward more wind swells, and by summer (June–August), ground swells become scarce (15–25%), resulting in smaller, less consistent waves (1.5m). Wind conditions remain poor in summer, making it the least favorable time for quality surfing. September marks the transition back to better swell as ground swells begin to return. For surfers prioritizing wave quality, the winter months are best despite the wind challenges, while those seeking smaller, more manageable waves might find the early autumn or late spring periods more suitable.
