Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beliche over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me get this straight. Looking at the whole picture for the next couple of weeks... it’s pretty grim out there. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and strong winds, so patience is the name of the game.
We start off with a bit of a tease. On Monday the 13th , Beliche has some waves. We’re looking at a weak 3ft northwest swell, with an 8-second period. The energy is low, sitting at 109 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-off from the northwest, so it’s not totally clean, but it’s surfable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The break is a beach and point setup, and it’s fairly consistent but sheltered, so it can be hit or miss. It’s better for the advanced crew.
Then things go pretty flat. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Sunday the 26th, it’s a rough run. We’re talking about a solid week and a half with almost nothing. The swell drops to barely ankle-snappers, 1ft to 2ft, with weak energy numbers mostly under 100. The winds are howling out of the north and NNW, often offshore but strong—over 18 mph, sometimes hitting 25 mph. That’s strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into. This is not paddle surfing territory. Honestly, with that wind and that tiny, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a beach and point break.
Finally, we get a glimmer of hope. On Monday the 27th of July , things change. Beliche gets a proper pulse of swell—8ft from the northwest, with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 702 (strong wave energy). This is a big step up. The wind is offshore from the north at 18 mph, which will keep things clean. But listen, 8ft is in that territory where it’s getting too big for beginners and it’s only really for the experts. It looks like the best, and really the only, standout in this entire outlook.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, mark your calendar for Monday the 27th at Beliche. The forecast is a bit far out, so treat it as promising but less certain. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game.

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.
