Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty. Let's get into what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp at Beliche is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want that extra rubber.

The outlook kicks off on Monday, September 7th, but honestly, it's a bit of a slow start. Monday morning offers a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 13-second period, but the combined energy is only moderate (804). The wind is a fresh offshore from the north, which is good for clean lines, but the scores are low... it's a marginal one. The afternoon holds similar with 5ft. Tuesday and Wednesday look like a write-off with poor surf conditions. The swell drops right off, and by Wednesday morning we're down to a tiny 2ft with only 68 for energy. That's a long gap of nothing much.

We get a little pulse on Thursday, September 10th, with the morning showing 6ft from the NNW at just 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (500) and the wind is fresh offshore, so it'll be clean. But that short period means it'll be a bit lumpy and sectiony. Friday is similar, 5ft and 4ft, with moderate offshore winds. Still, nothing to get too excited about yet.

The real standout window arrives on Saturday, September 13th. The morning is a beauty – glassy conditions with the wind from the ESE at just 3 mph. The swell is only 3ft, but it's a long-period groundswell from the NW at 15 seconds. The energy is moderate (343). This is a point break setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It's a sneaky good one, but it's a bit inconsistent, so be patient. The afternoon blends into a cleaner 4ft.

Then, Monday, September 14th is the pick of the first week. The morning is glassy again with a light easterly breeze. The swell is a solid 5ft from the NW with a 12-second period, and the energy is a healthy 531. The conditions are expected to be good. It's a fairly consistent break, so this is where you want to be. The afternoon sees a light cross-onshore, so get your session in early.

Things build again from Wednesday, September 16th. The morning brings 7ft from the NNW at 8 seconds (677 energy). It's clean with a light offshore. By the afternoon we're up to 8ft, which is pushing into expert territory. The energy is strong (1037). The wind is cross-off, so it'll be clean but a bit tricky.

The biggest swell of the period hits on Thursday, September 17th. The morning sees a powerful 12ft from the NW at 10 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 2156. This is a strong, heavy swell. The wind is a moderate offshore, so it'll be clean, but this is only for experienced surfers. The afternoon is similar with 12ft and 3563 energy. It's a big, powerful system. The swell holds through Friday, September 18th with a 8ft morning, then slowly drops through the weekend. By Sunday, September 21st, the swell period jumps back up to 14 seconds, but the energy is moderate and the conditions are poor, so it's a fizzle.

Look, for the first week, Monday, September 14th is the absolute standout. Get on it. The second week has the big, powerful swell on the 17th and 18th, but that's for the hardcore crew only. The glassy conditions on the 13th are a lovely little bonus if you're on a log.

Rusty.
