Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us around here.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough, quiet start. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands. From Friday July 10 all the way through to the morning of Monday July 13, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, under 2ft, with weak energy (in the 40s and 50s). It just ain't worth paddling out for.

Monday July 13 morning brings a glimmer of hope, but it’s not much. We see a jump in combined swell energy (104), with a 2ft NW swell and a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll look clean. But honestly, it's just *surfable* – nothing to get excited about. The rest of that week stays small and weak, with energy dropping back into the 20s and 30s.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real action starts to build towards the end of the second week. On Sunday July 19, we start seeing a pulse of energy, with combined energy climbing to 269 in the morning and 332 in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 6ft - 6ft from the NNW, but with a short period of 7 seconds. That’s a windswell, and with fresh offshore winds you'll have clean faces at Beliche. The water temp is 70°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary there.

Monday July 20 holds that energy (250 and 252), with a 5-5ft NNW swell, but the winds shift onshore in the afternoon, putting a bit of ripple on it. Still, the morning looks clean and surfable.

But the standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Saturday July 25. That morning, we’ve got a 7ft NNW swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping hard at 491. It’s a strong, powerful swell (491), and with a stiff offshore breeze from the NNW cleaning it up, Beliche is gonna be firing. By the afternoon it gets a touch bigger at 7ft (energy 503), but the wind swings cross-offshore. That’s a solid day for anyone who knows what they’re doing. The swell is getting up there, over 7ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. Beginners should sit this one out.

All in all, it’s a slow burn with a proper payoff at the end. The first week is a dud, the second week builds, and that last Saturday is the one to chase.

Rusty.
