The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is looking pretty average. From Friday the 7th of August right through to the following Tuesday, we're dealing with tiny, weak swells that are just not going to get the blood pumping. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a decent steamer.
The first real glimmer of hope pops up on Friday the 14th of August. The morning sees a bit of a pulse, with a 3ft swell from the WNW at 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 318 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the N at 16 mph, keeping things clean. It's still not firing, but it's a step in the right direction.
That Saturday the 15th of August is your pick of the early period. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the NW at 8 seconds, with a combined energy of 326 (moderate). The offshore wind from the NNW at 13 mph is a solid plus, keeping the surface clean. This is the biggest and best-looking swell we've seen so far, but with that short period, it's going to be a bit lumpy and lacking that real punch.
Now, if you can hold out, the real standout is shaping up for Friday the 21st of August. The morning sees a 8ft swell from the NW at 9 seconds, with combined energy hitting 882 (strong). That's a proper amount of energy in the water. The wind is fresh offshore from the N at 19 mph, so it's going to be clean. This is a size for experienced surfers only – 8ft is big and powerful. The swell direction is straight out of the NW, which is a good angle for Beliche (beach and point). This is a sheltered spot, so it can handle a bit of size, but it's known for being fairly consistent, so you won't be waiting around forever. The crowds are often here, so you'll have company.
Saturday the 22nd of August is still looking good as a follow-up, with a 6ft swell from the NNW at 9 seconds and offshore winds. The energy is still strong at 497. It's a solid option if you missed the Friday.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a bit more life, and the clear standout is the morning of the 21st of August at Beliche. That's a legitimate, powerful swell with clean offshore winds. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it's the one you want to point your board towards.
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.
