The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what Beliche has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so we’ll need to pick our moments.
The overall pattern shows a frustrating start with small, weak waves and tricky winds. We'll see a bit of a pulse next week, with some solid NW groundswell, but the wind is the main problem for most of it. The real standout is a distant one, but it looks like it could be worth the wait.
Right now, we’re kicking things off on Wednesday the 2nd with some waist-high waves around 4ft from the NNW. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s weak and lacking any punch. The wind is howling offshore at 15 mph, which cleans things up, but the combined wave energy is only 213 – pretty weak. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working hard for not much reward. Thursday the 3rd afternoon has a brief window of glassy conditions with tiny 3ft waves, but don’t get too excited. The rest of the first week is mostly small, poor-quality surf with cross-shore winds.
Hold onto your board for Sunday the 6th. We get a proper pulse of groundswell. Waves hit 4ft from the NW, but the period jumps to a beautiful 12 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 451 – a solid, moderate pulse. The morning has a clean, moderate offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. This is the pick of the first week: clean, fun, long-period waves. Great for a point break setup.
Monday the 7th sees the swell holding, with a very long-period 14-second NW groundswell. The energy is up at 664. However, the wind is a fresh offshore breeze at 19 mph. It will be clean, but that wind is strong, so it’ll be a battle to stay in position. Tuesday the 8th gets bigger, hitting 6ft from the NW with a 10-second period, but the wind goes cross-off and is very strong at 25 mph. That’s getting into kite-surfing territory, honestly – challenging conditions for a normal paddle session.
After that, we drop back to smaller, messy stuff for the middle of the week. Then, we get the second standout. Look at Sunday the 13th. The morning shows a solid 7ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a strong 571. The wind is a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the north at 12 mph. Now, at 7ft, this is pushing into solid for intermediate surfers, but it’s still workable. The period is short, so it’s more of a windswell chop, but with offshore wind, Beliche can handle that. The afternoon swells to 8ft, which is only for the experienced crew. This is the most promising day in the whole two weeks – the biggest, cleanest swell on offer, just be mindful of the strong wind.
Monday the 14th is a write-off with a strong cross-shore wind, and the rest of the run fades out to small, poor waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, here’s the call. For the first week, get out on Sunday the 6th morning for the clean, long-period groundswell. It won’t be huge, but it will be the best quality until that big pulse on Sunday the 13th. That’s the long-range standout – Sunday the 13th morning with overhead, clean waves, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
