Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks at Beliche. First off, the water temp is sitting at 67°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there when you jump in.
Honestly, the start of the period is a bit of a flat spell with poor conditions. The first few recommendations don't start until Saturday the 4th, but even then, the surf is tiny – we're looking at 2 ft from the WNW with a weak 126 combined swell energy. The saving grace is that by Saturday afternoon the wind goes glassy, dead calm, so the ocean will look like a mirror. It’s surfable but only just, and really only for a longboard or a foiler.
Then we hit a big dry gap from Sunday the 5th all the way through to Friday the 10th. That’s nearly a full week of poor surf conditions with negligible swell heights under 2 ft. Not worth paddling out for.
Things start to get a bit more interesting on Saturday the 11th. We get a jump in swell to 7 ft from the NW, but the period is short at 8 seconds. The combined energy reads a strong 586, so there’s plenty of water moving. The problem is the wind is howling offshore from the NNW at 22 mph. That’s fresh and clean, but it’s going to be a serious battle to get out the back, and for only experts. It stays big and windy right through until Tuesday the 15th, with swell peaking at 8 ft on the 12th. The wave quality scores are all flagged as poor or marginal in the data, likely because that short-period swell and fierce wind will make it choppy and hard to manage. For any average punter, that's a kite session, not a paddle session.
If I had to pick one true standout, it’d be the window on Saturday the 11th morning. That 7 ft NW swell is the biggest we’ve seen, and the offshore wind will hold the faces up. It’s a real grunt session for the experienced crew. For the less confident, the tail end of the run on Thursday the 16th morning sees the swell drop to 5 ft from the NNW, still with a fresh offshore wind. It’s a little cleaner and more manageable than the days before.
By the second week, from Sunday the 19th, the swell fades back down to tiny 3 ft and under, and that’s about it for the forecast window.
The standout for sure is the 11th of July morning for the experts. Get on it if you’ve got the arms for it.
Stay salty.
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.
