The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles for ya.
Let’s be straight with you – Beliche is starting off quiet. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th? Forget it. There’s barely 2 feet of swell with weak energy (62-96). The waves are just not happening. It’s a dead start.
Sunday the 6th morning is the one to circle on your calendar. A northwest groundswell comes in at about 4 feet with a 12-second period, giving it some proper grunt – the energy jumps to 479. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so expect some really clean, lined-up waves off the point. That’s your best bet in the whole two weeks. The water temp is dead average for early September, nothing weird. This break can get busy, so plan to be out there early.
From Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th, the swell jumps to 4 to 6 feet with strong energy (above 600), but it’s a windy mess. Offshore winds up to 20-22 mph are blowing, but the swell quality is just poor to marginal. Only the hardcore experts will wanna paddle out into that chop. Tuesday afternoon pumps out 6 feet of NW swell, but at 10 seconds and strong cross-offshore wind, it ain't gonna be pretty.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th bring a drop in size – down to 2 to 3 feet – with cleaner, offshore winds but not enough power to get excited about. The energy drops to 157-168.
Saturday the 12th through Wednesday the 16th is a poor run. Onshore and cross-shore winds, lumpy, choppy conditions. If you’re into kite surfing, the weekend of the 14th-15th might be more fun than paddling.
Here’s the long-range tease: Thursday the 17th of September morning. The forecast shows 6 feet of NNW swell with a combined energy of 881 – that’s a lot of water moving. And it’s glassy with no wind. That’s a heavy, powerful beach break day for experts only. Keep an eye on it, but it’s a week and a half away, so don’t bet the farm.
So really, you got one solid, clean day on Sunday the 6th, and maybe a big chance on the 17th. The rest is for the wind junkies or the patient.
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.
