The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a good hard look at Beliche.
Honestly mate, this is a tough stretch. For the next sixteen days, the surf quality scores are pretty ordinary across the board. There are a lot of days with sessions that might look okay on paper but feel flat or messy in the water. The first real standout doesn't show up until midway through the second week, so we’ve got a long wait for the good stuff.
Let's start with the here and now. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd offer some small swell, around 4ft to 5ft from the NW and NNW, but the winds are a bit too lively and cross-off for Beliche to really shine. It’s clean, sure, but the wave energy is only moderate. Not worth rushing for.
Sunday the 23rd sees a bump in size with a 7ft WNW swell rolling in, and the energy jumps right up (strong). But here's the catch – the wind is onshore from the south at 16 mph. That’s going to mess it up, making conditions pretty poor. A real shame because the swell has some grunt.
We get a bit of a break on Tuesday the 27th. Morning is your best bet with a gentle offshore breeze from the north at 9 mph, cleaning up a 5ft NW swell. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is a touch colder than average for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit. The waves are surfable but nothing to write home about.
Now, the one proper standout on the horizon. If you can wait, Thursday the 5th of September is the one to circle. Saturday morning that week has a 6ft NNW swell with a fresh offshore wind from the north at 19 mph. The energy is solid (moderate to strong). The winds will be clean and offshore, making for some good lines. The previous Friday afternoon (4th Sept) is bigger at 7ft but with a strong breeze at 25 mph – that’s expert territory and tough to paddle into. So the Saturday morning session is the pick of the whole run: decent size, clean, and manageable.
Before that, the weekend of the 30th and 31st of August is just average. There’s surf but it's small and choppy under stronger winds. You might scratch out a few fun ones if you’re desperate.
Overall, it’s a lean forecast. The best you're getting is a clean, moderate swell window at the beginning of September. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just plain messy.
Stay patient, keep the wax warm.

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.
