The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Beliche.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is pretty bleak. Most days, the conditions just aren't coming together for a good paddle out. The wind is often too fresh and cross-off, and the swell energy (under 200) is weak to moderate at best, keeping things small and messy. We’ve got a gap of about 12 days where nothing really stands out as recommended. Don't hold your breath.
For the most part, the water temperature is running *much colder than normal* at 66°, which is over two degrees Fahrenheit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll definitely want a thicker suit.
The first glimpse of anything worthwhile shows up on Monday the 17th of August. That morning at Beliche, things finally come together. The wind will be glassy out of the west at 0 mph, and we’ll see a clean 5ft swell from the NW with a moderate 9-second period. The combined energy (437) is solid and strong. That’s your standout window right there – likely the best conditions of the whole forecast. It’s clean, no wind to chop it up, and there’s enough punch to get some fun turns in. This spot can get crowded often though, so get in early for a chance at a clean one.
After that, Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th drop off again. The morning of the 19th will have strong offshore winds up to 25 mph – great for a clean face, but paddling out will be a real battle.
So, to wrap it up: if you’re keen, hold out for that Monday the 17th. The rest is a write-off for now, but with a spot like Beliche that’s fairly consistent, it won’t stay poor forever.
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.
