The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start on the cards for Beliche. Nothing much doing on Tuesday the 25th – some weak, short-period WNW swell at just over 4 feet, but the wind is messy and the wave energy is a paltry 169. The water is feeling seriously chilly at 67°, a whopping 4° colder than you’d expect for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
Wednesday and Thursday are pretty much write-offs – tiny, disorganised surf and onshore slop. The real story starts building towards the weekend. On Friday the 28th, we see a solid jump. Friday morning looks choice with a clean 7 feet from the WNW, 10-second period, and a nice offshore northerly breeze. The combined energy is ramping up hard at 820. That’s the first real window, and it’s looking clean and punchy.
The standout of the whole outlook, though, has to be Saturday the 5th of September. We’re looking at a long-period groundswell from the NW at 12 seconds, pumping in at 5 feet on Saturday morning. Offshore northerly wind, combined energy reading a massive 1053 – that’s proper, powerful stuff. For a beach and point break like Beliche, that long period will be working best on the point section, giving you some long, lined-up walls. Keep an eye on the tides, but the potential here is huge. It’s a week and a half out, so hold your breath, but this one’s got promise.
Before that, there’s a decent window on the 1st and 2nd of September with offshore winds and consistent 6 to 7 feet surf from the NW, and the 9th of September also looks strong with two days of nearly 8 foot surf and offshore winds – that’s proper size, only for the experienced crew. Overall, once Friday the 28th kicks off, the surf turns on and doesn’t really look back.
Stay hopeful and keep the wax soft.
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.
