The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Beliche are a real mixed bag, and for the most part, it’s been a tough watch. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, with barely a ripple and strong, fresh offshore winds that, while clean, are making it impossible to get into anything. The wave energy is a measly 15 to 38, so nothing to get excited about.
We’ve got a gap of about 8 days with no real surf to recommend, starting from now until around the 27th of July. The only flicker of hope comes right at the end of the month. The standout window is the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. We’ve got a 7 ft swell from the NNW, with a combined energy of 410 (moderate), and the wind is a light 6 mph from the ENE, blowing cross-offshore. That’s going to give you some clean, punchy walls at this beach and point setup. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit.
Now, Wednesday the 29th of July morning sees a big jump in size – 10 ft from the NNW – but the energy is strong to very strong (1539). That’s expert territory, and the cross-shore wind from the ESE will leave it a bit lumpy. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle one, to be honest. The crowd factor at Beliche is “often,” so expect company on that Tuesday morning if you’re chasing the good stuff.
The second week drops off again, with smaller swells and strong offshore winds making it tough. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, that Tuesday morning is your best bet.
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.
