The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s comin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a letdown. The models are showin’ a long patch of small, weak, and messy surf. We’re lookin’ at a real dry spell from Monday the 3rd right through to the morning of Saturday the 15th. There’s just nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. The energy is mostly in the two-digit weak range, with a couple of days barely crackin’ 100 (112) but the conditions are just ordinary. Winds are a problem, mostly cross-off or strong offshore, but the swell is too small or too short-period to do anything with.
Forget about it. Save your energy.
Then, finally, things start to get interestin’ headin’ into the back half of the second week. The standout here is Beliche (beach and point).
On the morning of Monday the 17th, we’ve got a solid pulse of swell arrivin’. The forecast shows a 6 ft swell from the NNW, with a moderate 9-second period. The combined energy is strong, hittin’ 411. That’s got some push. But the real kicker is the wind: offshore from the NNW and a moderate breeze. That’s gonna groom those lines nicely. This is a classic setup for Beliche, as it loves a solid NW swell. The water is runnin’ about 67° right now, which is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.
The afternoon of the 17th looks a bit messier with the wind goin’ cross-off, so the morning is the clear winner. The followin’ morning, Tuesday the 18th, still has fun 4 ft surf with offshore winds, but the energy is droppin’. It’s still surfable, but the Monday morning is the one to circle.
This isn’t a giant, scary swell – it’s right in that sweet spot for a fun, powerful session without bein’ a washin’ machine. It’s clean, it’s got shape, and it’s been a long time comin’. The break is fairly consistent, so you should get your share, but it can get crowded, so expect company.
Bottom line: The first 12 days are a write-off. The top pick is the morning of Monday the 17th at Beliche. Get out there and enjoy it.
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.
