Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Beliche in feet and miles per hour, the way it oughta be. This is a beach and point break, and it’s fairly consistent, but we gotta pick our windows. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a solid 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so don’t even think about a spring suit.

The pattern starts strong, gets windy and messy, then cleans up nicely at the very end for a couple of standouts.

Sunday the 6th morning is where you want to be. Clean, cross-off breeze at 9 mph, with a 4ft NW swell pushing in with a 12-second period. The combined wave energy is 479, which is solid moderate juice. The surface is glassy and clean – that’s your winner for the whole period right there.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th see the wind crank up to 19 mph offshore, sometimes more. The surface is clean but you’ll be paddling hard. Swell holds around 4ft to 5ft, but the conditions are rated marginal to poor. The mid-week is small and weak, with energy dropping to 68 on the 9th and short period slop.

There’s a real lull from the 12th to the 14th – tiny 2ft waves with cross-shore and cross-on winds. A proper dead spell.

But hold up. The 18th of September, Friday morning, looks tasty. Light 6 mph cross-off wind, 4ft of NW groundswell with an 11-second period, and energy at 519. It’s flagged as good conditions. That’s a solid session.

Then the standout for the bigger fella is Saturday the 19th morning. Light 6 mph cross-off, 6ft of NW swell with a 9-second period, and energy at 540. Again, it’s flagged as good conditions. That’s a proper wave, but at 6ft it’s for intermediate to advanced surfers only. The wind goes to crap in the afternoon, so be on it before lunch.

So your two real highlights: Sunday the 6th morning for the cleaner, more classic waves, and the morning of Saturday the 19th for the bigger, punchier stuff. The rest is a lot of waiting, but that’s the nature of it around here.

Rusty.
