The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Beliche over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The first ten days or so are a write-off. We’re looking at a long, dry spell from Thursday the 16th right through to Saturday the 26th of July. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft – total flatness. The wave energy is weak, barely registering, and the wind, while offshore, is just too strong and raw to make anything of it. It’s frustrating, I know, but sometimes that’s how it goes.

Then, things start to get interesting on Sunday the 26th. The swell jumps up to 7ft from the NNW, but it’s messy with a short 8-second period and the wind is howling. The energy jumps to 666 (moderate), but it’s just not clean enough to get excited about. Look more like a kite session than a paddle session that day.

But hold on. The real standout is Monday the 27th of July. This is the day we’ve been waiting for. The swell builds to 8ft from the NNW, and the period picks up to 9 seconds, packing a punch with a combined energy of 1014 – that’s strong energy. But the magic is that by Monday afternoon, the wind drops to glassy – absolute zero. The water temp is a comfortable 69°, which is bang on average for this time of year. This is going to be epic. The waves will be powerful, so it’s one for the experienced crew; 8ft is too much for beginners. The offshore flow on Tuesday morning will keep it clean, but the wind picks up again. Monday is the gold star.

After that, the swell stays up through the 28th, 29th, and 30th, but it gets blown out by strong northerly winds. It’s big, it’s raw, and it’s for experts only. The waves are too blown out for a good time unless you’re looking for a real battle. The energy is still there (344 to 934), but the wind is just too strong.

So, to sum it up: you’ve got a long wait, but Monday the 27th is the absolute winner. Get on it if you can.

Rusty.

Information about the Beliche Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Beliche provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Beliche can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Beliche 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 (Beliche) 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 Beliche 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.

Beliche is 29 km (18 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
