The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks here at Beliche are looking pretty slim. It’s a beach and point set-up that’s sheltered from the swell, and the whole period is more about waiting than riding.
We start off with a real nothing-burger. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are a write-off. Tiny, weak swell – only around 2 feet to 2 feet from the W with a combined energy of just 69 – and while the morning winds are offshore from the NNW, it’s not enough to make anything worth paddling for. You'd be wasting your time.
Tuesday the 4th morning sees a tiny bump, with the swell pushing up to 3 feet from the WNW and the combined energy climbing to 135. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but don't expect any sort of quality. That’s probably the best of a bad week, which says it all.
Wednesday the 5th morning is similar – 3 feet from the WNW with a 136 combined energy, and a moderate offshore wind. Again, it’s clean but gutless. The period is only 8 seconds, so it's just weak wind-swell.
From Thursday the 6th through to Friday the 14th, it’s a long, frustrating run. The swell height pushes up around the 4 feet to 6 feet mark, and the combined energy gets into the 200s and even up to 351 on Monday the 10th afternoon, but the problem is the wind. It's howling from the NNW at 18 to 25 mph, creating fresh to strong offshore conditions. While it’s clean, the wind is so strong it’s going to be a battle just to get out, and the wave quality is rated as poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th drop back down to 3 feet to 5 feet, but the wind swings onshore or cross-shore, making things choppy and messy. Not worth the effort.
The long-range look at Monday the 17th morning brings a tiny 2 feet from the NNW with a weak 54 combined energy and a moderate offshore wind. It’s clean, but there’s barely any swell.
Overall, there's no standout here. The only near-decent window is the morning of Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th, with those small, clean but weak waves. For everything else, leave the board in the car and don't bother.

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.
