The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, looking at the same stretch of coast, but in feet and miles per hour. The next 16 days for the Algarve, focused on the Beliche area, is a bit of a slow burn, but there are a couple of solid days to get excited about. The first week is pretty quiet to start, so don't plan your life around it.

The first real highlight is on Friday, August 28th. The morning session is the one. We’re looking at waves around 7 ft from the WNW, with a 11-second period – that’s real groundswell. The wind is offshore from the North at 9 mph, which will keep the surface as clean as a whistle. The total wave energy is pumping at 733, so you’ll feel the power. Beliche is a beach and point setup, and with that longer period, the point should be the spot, serving up some nice, lined-up waves. It’s not the biggest set you’ll ever see, but it’s the best combo of size and clean conditions on offer. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.

The rest of that first week is a bit of a letdown. Thursday the 27th has some swell, but the wind is a strong cross-shore that will chop it all up. Saturday the 29th has a clean offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is dropping to 6 ft and the energy is down to 513. It’s rideable, but it’s not as good as Friday. The wind is also a bit stronger, at 19 mph, which can make it a little bumpy.

Then we hit a big dry patch. From Sunday, August 30th, right through to the start of September, the swell is tiny and the conditions are poor. The waves are mostly below 3 ft, with weak energy. It’s a long stretch of a few days where it’s basically flat.

Now, looking into the second week, there’s a glimmer of hope. On Monday, September 7th, the afternoon session has a 6 ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which is a big plus. The energy is a moderate 407. It’s not the same quality as that Friday morning, but it’s a real option after a long, quiet spell. The shorter period means it’ll be a bit more of a wind swell, but clean conditions make up for a lot.

The next morning, Tuesday the 8th, has a lighter wind from the East, but it’s cross-shore, so it won’t be as clean. The swell holds around 5 ft, but it’s a bit messy.

So, bottom line: if you’re picking your moment, aim for the morning of Friday, August 28th. That’s the one. The rest of the time, you’ll be waiting. The later window on September 7th is a decent backup, but it’s a bit less certain. Keep your eyes peeled.

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.
