The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got a look at what's coming up for Beliche.
First off, I gotta say, the water is cold. It's sitting at 66°F right now, which is a solid 4°F colder than normal for this time of year. So if you're paddling out, you'll want a thicker suit, especially in the morning.
Right now, there's a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at clean, glassy conditions early Monday morning with a small 4ft swell from the NNW, but it's only a short period 7-second wind swell, so the energy is weak (159). The rest of the week is a write-off. We're talking tiny, shoaly waves with no push. The wind stays mostly offshore, but there's just not enough swell to do anything with. It's a real bummer for a few days here.
The tide starts to turn on the 28th of July, Tuesday morning. We get a pulse of 3ft swell from the NNW with a much better period of 10 seconds, giving it a moderate energy kick (202). The wind is a clean offshore from the N. This is a decent window for a paddle, but it's not a standout.
We hit a real lull from the 30th of July through to the 8th of August. There are days with tiny waves and strong winds, but nothing that's going to get you excited. The 7th of August has a 4ft swell from the NNW, but it's a short period 6-second wind swell with strong, hard-to-paddle offshore winds. It's a frustrating stretch.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Looking way out to the second week, on the 9th of August, Sunday morning, we see a big jump. A 4ft swell from the WNW with a long, long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy hits 478, which is a solid moderate energy. The morning wind is a fresh offshore from the NNW. This is a promising setup. A long period groundswell like that will wrap into the point at Beliche and offer up some well-shaped lines. The period is long enough to get some real juice, but it's also a groundswell, so it might break a bit straight on a beach break, but for a point, it's ideal. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
The 11th of August, Tuesday, is also a big day. We've got a 4ft swell from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy jumps to 605. By Tuesday afternoon, the swell is up to 7ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is a massive 1006. That's a strong, powerful system. The wind is cross-off in the afternoon, which is fine, but it's a lot of water. At 7ft, this is expert territory. The morning of the 11th is the best bet for a solid, clean session before it gets too big.
So, the standout is the 9th of August, Sunday morning, for the quality of the groundswell and the clean offshore wind. The 11th of August, Tuesday morning, is the big swell option, but only for the experienced crew.
Stay humble, get that rubber on, and I'll see you out there.

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.
