The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Beliche over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the next few days are a bit of a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a gap from now until the weekend with nothing really worth paddling out for. The conditions are messy and the swell is just not there.

We start to see a glimmer of hope on September 13th. The water is running a bit colder than usual for this time of year, about 68°, so you’ll want a decent spring suit. That Sunday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 4ft NW groundswell with a long period of 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (426), and it’ll be clean. The swell direction is a good match for the break, but it’s a pretty sheltered spot, so don’t expect a huge amount of size.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is September 21st. The Monday afternoon session is looking like the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a solid 7ft NW swell, with a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1761), so there’s plenty of push. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping things clean. This is a true groundswell, and with that long period, it’s going to be better shaped and have more energy, but it’ll be better suited to the point than the beach. It’s an advanced-sized wave at over 8ft, so this is for the experienced crew only. The morning of September 22nd has leftover energy but the wind starts to chop it up a bit.

The other decent window is around September 18th and 19th. Friday afternoon and Saturday morning both have a clean 6-6ft NW swell with light winds. The energy is moderate to strong (513-528), and it’s a good size for a fun session without being too intimidating. The 19th afternoon keeps the offshore winds, making for a nice run of clean surf.

In a nutshell, the first week is a dud, but the second week has a couple of proper windows. The 21st is the big one for the experts, and the 18th-19th is the best bet for the rest of us. Beliche is a spot that’s fairly consistent, so it won’t stay flat for long.

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.
