The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s happening. Over the next couple of weeks, Beliche isn’t exactly on fire. There’s some swell around, but the quality is mostly so-so, and the wind gets up a fair bit. Still, there are a few windows where it cleans up, and I’ll break it down for you.
Things kick off a little rough. Sunday the 26th, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW, period around 7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh offshore from the north in the morning, then cross-off in the afternoon. The combined energy is moderate (208 in the morning, 239 in the afternoon), but the surf quality is poor. It looks clean, but the waves just aren’t shaping up. Not worth getting wet for.
Monday the 27th sees the swell drop to 4ft in the morning, then 3ft in the afternoon, still from the NNW. Period stays short at 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (165 and 131). Wind goes light cross-off in the morning – that slight breeze is nice – but the waves are just rideable, nothing special. The afternoon has a gentle breeze, but it’s still very ordinary.
Tuesday the 28th is a touch better. The morning brings a 3.3ft swell from the NNW, period lifting to 9 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind from the north. Combined energy is moderate at 187. It’s clean, and that longer period gives the waves a bit more shape, but still just rideable. The afternoon has a 3.3ft swell, period 10 seconds, cross-off wind, energy at 219. Clean, but ordinary.
Wednesday the 29th is similar – morning sees 3ft from the NNW, 9-second period, moderate offshore from the NNW, energy 174. Afternoon drops to 2.3ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, cross-off, energy down to 106. Still just rideable at best. Fine for a longboard if you’re keen, but nothing to get excited about.
Thursday the 30th fades out. Swell drops to 1.3ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, energy very weak (31 and 26). Wind is offshore and fresh, but there’s zero push. Poor surf.
Friday the 31st sees a slight lift – 4.3ft from the NNW in the morning, period 7 seconds, moderate energy at 238, and a moderate offshore. Afternoon goes to 3.3ft, period 7 seconds, energy 114, still offshore. Both sessions are clean but the waves are ordinary. The short period means they’ll be crumbly.
Saturday the 1st of August offers 3.3ft in the morning, 3.6ft in the afternoon, both from the NW, period 7 seconds, moderate energy (91 and 140). Morning has a moderate offshore, afternoon cross-off. Clean but still not exciting.
Sunday the 2nd of August has a 4.3ft swell from the NNW in the morning, period a short 6 seconds, energy 171, with a moderate offshore. The afternoon drops to 1.6ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, energy only 51. The morning is rideable but those short-period waves won’t have much punch.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th stay small and mediocre. Monday has 1.6ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, energy very low (55 and 71), with fresh offshore wind. Tuesday brings a 4.3ft swell from the NW in the morning, period 8 seconds, energy moderate at 298, but the afternoon jumps to 5.6ft from the NW, period only 6 seconds, energy 259, and fresh cross-off winds. That 5.6ft is too big for beginners, but the period is so short the waves will be lumpy and disorganized. Not worth it.
Now here’s the best window of the whole forecast. Wednesday the 5th of August morning. Beliche shows a 7.5ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and the combined energy is strong – 1134. Offshore wind from the NNW, fresh breeze, clean conditions. This is proper size. Over 8ft and it’s experts only, but 7.5ft is still in that advanced range. The period of 9 seconds is average, so the waves will have some punch but not be overly long-lined. This is the standout. It’s big, it’s offshore, it’s clean. If

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.
