Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Gather round, crew. Let’s talk about Beliche. This stretch of sand and rock is a sheltered little nook, and over the next 16 days it’s going to serve up a real mixed bag – mostly small and clean, but with a couple of moments that might just get your heart racing. The water’s sitting at 19° right now, which is nearly two degrees cooler than what we expect this time of year, so you’ll feel that nip. A bit of a wake-up call for the summer.

Right now, the surf is pretty underwhelming. Saturday afternoon the 25th has a 5ft NW swell, but it’s getting hammered by a 19 mph cross-off wind. That makes for messy, lumpy conditions. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 26th is similar – a bit more size at 5ft, from the NNW, and a stiff N offshore in the morning, but the poor surf rating tells you it’s still a no-go. Monday the 27th brings a slight improvement with a lighter breeze and 4ft of NNW swell early, but it’s barely surfable.

We’ve got a run of really small, clean days from the 28th through to the 31st of July, with swell heights dipping as low as 1.0ft. The mornings are often offshore with gentle to moderate breezes, but there’s just no push. You’ll be bobbing around waiting for something that never really arrives. The combined energy is mostly weak, sitting below 100, so don’t get your hopes up.

Now, as we roll into August, things start to tick up. Saturday the 1st has a 4ft swell from the NNW in the morning with a light cross-off breeze – it’s clean, but still ordinary. Sunday the 2nd is similar: 4ft, clean, gentle offshore. Still not a standout, but at least you can enjoy a longboard session without too much hassle.

But here’s the one that deserves a proper look: Saturday the 8th of August. The morning session looks promising with a 5ft swell from the NNW, a moderate offshore wind from the NNW, and combined energy climbing to a healthy 328. That’s moderate energy with some grunt. The wind is offshore and clean, which is a major positive for Beliche – this break loves clean lines. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period windswell, but with that direction matching the optimum NW, it should wrap in nicely. It’s an advanced spot, and crowds are often, so expect company.

Then Sunday the 9th of August gets serious – 7ft to 8ft from the NNW, with 19-22 mph offshore winds. That’s expert territory, with combined energy over 500, even hitting 738 in the afternoon. That’s strong energy, and it’s going to be raw out there. The period is still short (8 seconds), so it’ll be punchy and a bit chaotic, especially for a beach-and-point setup. If you’re an experienced local who knows the channel, this could be the session of the run, but it’s only for the brave. The wind will be strong offshore, making for clean faces but a serious paddle battle.

In between, the 3rd through 7th of August are mostly a wash of small, clean days with no real juice. There are gaps of several days with no recommendations at all, especially late July, so don’t rush. The tail end of the window, the 9th, is the standout for power, but it’s not for everyone. For the everyday surfer, target the morning of August 8th – that’s your window.
