Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead. We’re starting off with a real tease at Beliche on Thursday afternoon, but don’t get too excited because it’s a one-hit wonder before a long, flat spell.

The main event, and the standout of the whole run, is that first Thursday afternoon. Beliche is serving up a solid 6 ft of swell pushing in from the NNW with a clean 9-second pulse. The combined energy reading is a decent 530 (moderate wave energy), and what really makes it sing is the glassy wind – we’re talking a light NW breeze at just 3 mph, which is cross-offshore and should leave the faces butter-smooth. Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year. This one’s a legit session for the advanced crew, though beginners might find it a bit punchy at 6 ft.

Now here’s the killer – after that, we hit a flat spell that drags on for over a week. From Friday morning all the way through to early Tuesday of the following week, the waves are tiny and disappointing. We’ve got a few days of cross-shore wind and chop, and then a run of mostly clean but knee-high slop with combined energy barely breaking 40. It’s a slow, frustrating stretch.

Things start to perk up a little by the second week. Around Sunday the 12th, the swell tries to build again with 4 ft from the NW and a fresh offshore breeze, but it’s still messy – the period’s only 8 seconds and the rating is poor. By Wednesday the 15th, we see a 5 ft NW swell at 6 seconds – short-period windswell – so the shape won’t be pretty, but if you’re desperate, there’s something to paddle at. A bit later, on Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th, the swell picks up to 5–6 ft again, but it’s all short-period stuff (6-7 seconds) and blowing cross-offshore. Those waves will be choppy and hard to ride, likely better for kite surfing than a proper paddle.

Honestly, that first Thursday afternoon is your one golden window. After that, it’s a waiting game. Stay patient.

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.

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.
