The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, casting an eye over the Beliche forecast for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, so let’s get into it.

We’re looking at a pretty quiet start to the period. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Through Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th, the conditions are just not there – strong onshore winds and messy, poor surf. You’ll be better off doing something else.

Things start to look a little better around Tuesday the 25th. The morning shows a small improvement with some cleaner conditions, but the swell is tiny and weak at 5ft from the WNW (combined energy of 220). It’s barely surfable.

We then hit a real dry spell. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th offer very small waves, mostly under 4ft. The energy is real low, dipping to just 50 on Wednesday afternoon. It’s clean in the mornings and afternoons, but there’s just not enough push.

The first real standout arrives on Friday morning, August 28th. Finally, some proper juice! We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the NW with a moderate 10-second period, pumping in a strong 977 combined energy. The wind is offshore from the North, which will keep it glassy and clean. This is the best session of the first week, no question. The afternoon picks up a bit more size to 8ft, but the wind swings cross-off and gets stronger, making it a bit trickier.

Saturday the 29th morning keeps the run going with a clean 6ft from the NNW and offshore winds (combined energy 1063). It’s a solid option, but the energy drops off quickly in the afternoon.

After that, the swell backs right off again through the end of August and into the first few days of September. There’s small, clean waves but nothing to write home about. The energy levels are weak, with most readings under 200.

Now, looking way out, there’s a promising pulse showing up for Sunday, September 7th. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the NNW, but with a very long period of 13 seconds! That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a massive 1373. The wind is strong offshore from the North. This is a classic setup for Beliche – it’s a sheltered spot and picks up that NW swell well. The caveat is that with such a long period, the sets will be long and powerful, and the strong offshore wind (25 mph) will make paddling out a real mission. This is definitely one for the advanced crew only. It’s a long way out so keep an eye on it, but it’s got real potential.

Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. Throw a spring suit on.

So, the best bet is Friday morning, August 28th for a clean, fun session. The long-range option on September 7th is the one to watch for the big dogs.

Signing off,
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.
