Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beliche over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Beliche over the next couple of weeks. It's a beach and point setup, fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is from the northwest. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year.
Right, to be straight with you, the first week is a tough watch. From Wednesday the 8th right through to the end of daylight on Thursday the 16th, we're looking at a long, dry spell. Most of that time the swell is tiny, barely pushing 2ft, with short periods mostly under 10 seconds. The combined wave energy hangs in that weak to moderate range (12 to 153), and the conditions are just ordinary. There's plenty of clean, offshore wind, but it's just not making up for the lack of power.
We finally get a little pulse of life on Sunday morning the 12th, with 2ft from the NW and a gentle offshore breeze, giving us a combined energy of 172 (moderate at best). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. That kind of energy hangs around for a couple of mornings but the afternoons get chopped up by a cross-off breeze and the swell drops back off.
We then hit another quiet patch through to the middle of the following week.
Now, if you're an experienced surfer looking for something with a bit more punch, you'll want to keep an eye on the end of the forecast period. Thursday morning the 23rd of July is the standout – the only "good surf" call in the whole run. We see 7ft from the NNW with a 7-second period, and the combined wave energy jumps up to 484 (strong). That's a solid, powerful swell for the experts, and with a moderate offshore wind from the N, it should be clean. At over 8ft, this is only for those with the skills to handle it.
Before that, Wednesday the 22nd also offers some size, pushing 6ft to 7ft from the NNW, with energy readings of 249 and 357, but the winds are stronger (fresh breeze) and more cross-off, so it's going to be a rougher ride and not as clean.
So, bottom line: most of the next two weeks are a write-off for quality surfing. The one real highlight is that Thursday the 23rd, which is your best bet if you've got the experience to handle a beefy, punchy wave.
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.
