Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Beliche, but there’s a couple of standouts worth keeping an eye on. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 68°F, sitting about 3°F below average, so you might want a thicker spring suit if you’re heading out.

The first week is pretty underwhelming, honestly. We start off Tuesday afternoon (1st September) with a choppy 6ft NW swell, but that 22 mph offshore wind is just too strong – it’s messy and marginal. Wednesday and Thursday stay small and ordinary, with a bit of clean glass on Thursday afternoon, but the swell drops to 2ft and the energy is weak (60). Not worth paddling out for. Friday through Sunday are all poor – small, onshore, or cross-shore slop. The energy stays low, mostly under 200.

Then things start to get interesting. Monday morning (7th September) is a real standout. We’ve got a clean 4ft WNW swell with a solid 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is strong (1004), and a moderate 16 mph offshore wind from the NNW will keep it clean. The swell direction is straight out of the optimum NW, so this point-and-beach setup should fire nicely. Just be aware, crowds are often here, so get in early. That morning is the best of the whole run by a long shot.

The middle of the second week gets windy again. Tuesday afternoon (8th September) sees a jump to 7ft NW, but that’s a bit too big for beginners and the 22 mph cross-off wind makes it hard work. Wednesday (9th September) has strong offshore winds (25 mph) – that’s hard to paddle into, even if it’s clean. Thursday and Friday (10th–11th) are average, with moderate offshore winds but sub-5ft swell and messy energy.

The real promise for the far end is Wednesday morning (16th September). We’ve got a solid 6ft NW swell, 12-second period, and clean offshore winds – the energy is strong (888). Looks like a really good session if the forecast holds, but it’s a long way out, so keep watching. The morning of the 13th (Sunday) is also worth a mention: glassy conditions with 4ft swell, but it’s short-period (7s) and the energy is only moderate (283). A fun little session if you’re keen, but not a standout.

Overall, the best bet is Monday morning (7th September) – that’s your wave. After that, keep an eye on Wednesday the 16th. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just average. There’s a few days in the middle like the 12th and 13th that are surfable but nothing special. If you’re not keen on the crowds, the 16th might be your quieter option.

Rusty.
