Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Right off the bat, Tuesday and Wednesday are pretty flat and messy. There’s a bit of swell around, but the wind is all over the shop, and the conditions are just ordinary. You’d be fighting a losing battle. We’re looking at a real dry spell until Friday morning, the 28th of August. That’s the first real standout.

Friday the 28th of August is the one to circle. Early morning, the wind is cranking out of the north at 16 mph, clean offshore, and we’ve got a solid 8 ft groundswell rolling in from the WNW. The period is a long 12 seconds, which means real energy and proper shape. The combined energy reading is a hefty 1543, so there’s plenty of power. This is a serious session for experienced surfers, because that size is getting up there. It’s a bit much for the groms. The offshore wind should keep the faces clean, and with the break being a sheltered beach and point setup, those longer-period waves will wrap in nicely. Crowds are a possibility here, so get there early.

The rest of the first week into early September is a bit of a mixed bag. We get a run of clear skies and strong offshore winds, but the swell drops off and the period shortens. The wind is fresh, sometimes strong, and while it’s clean, the waves are just not doing much. It’s surfable but not special.

Then we see a bit of a pulse building again. Monday the 7th of September catches the eye. The morning shows a 6 ft swell from the NW with a very long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy rockets up to 2224. The wind is offshore from the north at 19 mph. The quality is promising, but it’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed. This is another one for the experienced crew, as it’s powerful and the period is long, which can make it tricky at beach breaks, but Beliche’s point should handle it well.

Tuesday the 8th of September morning is also looking good. A 6 ft NW swell, 11-second period, with a moderate 12 mph offshore wind. Combined energy is a solid 1147. This is a bit more manageable, and the conditions should be really clean. This could be the pick of the second week if the Monday swell is too gnarly.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, the standout is that Friday the 28th morning. The early part of the week is a write-off, and the second week is promising but you’ll need to be patient and watch the forecasts. The water temperature is 67°F, which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t be fooled by the sun – you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

Keep your eyes peeled, and I’ll see you out there.
