Alright, let me break down what’s happening at Beliche in feet and miles per hour. We’re in for a long, slow start. From now through Saturday, July 11th, it’s flat out depressing. Swell heights are around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with combined energy readings barely reaching 65 (weak). The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, and the water looks clean, but there’s no power in the water. It’s just pretty and useless.
A little life shows up on Sunday, July 12th, with the swell climbing to 5 ft out of the NW and combined energy hitting 309 (moderate wave energy). Still, it’s rated as poor conditions. The first real window opens Monday, July 13th (morning). Swell is 4 ft from the NW (8-second period) with moderate offshore wind from the NNW. Combined energy is 188 (moderate wave energy). The description calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but it’s the best we’ve got. That holds into Tuesday, July 14th (morning) with similar numbers.
Then it goes quiet again until Saturday, July 18th, when the swell jumps to 6 ft – too big for beginners – and hits 7 ft on Sunday, July 19th with combined energy over 590 (strong wave energy). Problem is, the wind is cross-offshore and fresh at 19-22 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out wall. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Monday, July 20th brings strong offshore wind at 25 mph with 6 ft swell – clean but brutal to paddle into, expert-only territory.
Standout pick: There’s no classic day. If you’re itching for a surf, Monday, July 13th morning at Beliche is your best bet. You’ve got offshore wind, clean conditions, and a modest 4 ft NW swell (energy 188). This break is a beach and point setup, sheltered and favouring NW swell. Crowds are "often," so expect some company. It’s not a gem, but it’s the only decent paddle of the run.

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.
