Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beliche over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Beliche has cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this is a lean stretch. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no weirdness there, but the surf quality is mostly a bummer for a place that can really fire.
We’re looking at a big ol’ gap with no decent waves. The first real chance doesn’t show up until Monday the 13th, and it’s barely a groan. The whole first week is a total loss, with tiny, weak swells and crummy conditions. The combined energy is a joke, sitting at just 55 (Friday the 10th) and 54 in the afternoon – not enough to get you wet. The wind is mostly cross-off, which sounds nice, but with swell heights around 1ft to 2ft and periods of 8-9 seconds, it’s just a bathtub ripple. Don’t bother.
Monday the 13th morning gives us a little flicker – a 3ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy bumps to 124. The wind is a light cross-off, so it’s clean. The guide says it’s “surfable but very ordinary,” and I’m with that. It’s a small wave, but if you’re jonesin’, you could snag a few grovelly ones. The rest of that week is more of the same – tiny, weak, and sad.
Now, the second week has a pulse of bigger swell, but there’s a catch. Around Sunday the 19th, we get a NNW swell pushin’ 5ft, with a period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 245, which is moderate, but that short period means it’s gonna be a bit of a chop fest. The wind is offshore from the NNW, which is a huge plus for clean faces at Beliche. But it’s still rated as poor surf, so it ain’t gonna be pretty.
The real standout? You gotta circle Tuesday the 21st. The swell holds at 6ft from the NNW, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 393. The wind is offshore in the morning, going cross-off in the afternoon. This is the biggest, cleanest window in the whole 16 days. That 6ft is a solid size for Beliche – it’ll be pushing into head-high to a bit overhead, and with that offshore wind, the point should hold some decent lines. The period is short, so it won’t be that smooth groundswell, but for a beach-and-point setup, it’ll be punchy. The crowds at Beliche can be “often” there, so expect some company, but the quality will be there. This is the session to go for.
A few days later, on Thursday the 24th, we get another pulse of 6ft NNW swell, with energy at 311, but the wind is howling at 22 mph, which is a fresh breeze. Offshore wind is good, but that’s a lot of wind for a 6ft wave. It’ll be clean, but paddling will be a workout. It’s a solid option for experts only, as it’s over 5ft and a bit gusty.
Overall, the first week is a dud. The second week has a couple of days where it all lines up, with Tuesday the 21st being the clear winner. If you can wait, that’s your moment.

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.
