Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first solid call isn't until Sunday the 13th. That afternoon things finally come together. We’ve got a groundswell wrapping in from the NW at 4 ft with a long 13-second period, and the wind goes glassy – ENE at just 3 mph. That’s going to be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is solid too, sitting at (431), so there’s some grunt behind it. For an advanced spot like Beliche, this is the kind of session you wait for. Crowds are often here, so expect company, but for that quality, it’s worth it. The water temp is 67°, which is 4° colder than average for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so suit up.

After that, Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are pretty ordinary – small and nothing to write home about. Wednesday the 16th sees a bump in size with a NNW swell hitting 7 ft in the morning and 7 ft in the afternoon, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is strong. It’s a powerful NNW wind at 25 mph in the morning. The combined energy is high (649 and 696), but that wind makes it a messy, blustery affair – really only for the hardcore or the kite crew. Not a clean paddle session.

Now, the real standout comes on Thursday the 17th. The afternoon shows a beautiful NW swell at 4 ft with a 11-second period, combined energy of (715), and light NNW wind at just 6 mph going offshore. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. This is your pick of the first week.

Friday the 18th afternoon also looks tidy – 5 ft NW swell with light NNE offshore wind, clean faces. Good backup session.

The second week gets quiet again from the 19th onwards. We see some long-period groundswell on the 20th (15 seconds, 1-2 ft) and again on the 25th, but the wind is mostly moderate or strong offshore, making it hard to paddle into or just too lumpy. There’s a very promising blip on Friday the 25th afternoon: a serious NW groundswell at 6 ft, 16-second period, with combined energy through the roof at (2015). The wind is light and cross-off. This is the big one for the whole period – excellent conditions for experienced surfers, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it. That long period will work best at the point at Beliche.

Bottom line: Sunday the 13th afternoon for glassy perfection, Thursday the 17th afternoon for clean, solid waves, and keep your fingers crossed for Friday the 25th afternoon – that could be the session of the forecast.

Rusty.
