The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let's have a look at what's coming up for Beliche (Portugal). The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing shocking there.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a solid window shaping up. Thursday the 27th is a write-off with messy, cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions on a 5ft W swell. Not worth a paddle.
Friday the 28th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is a standout with offshore wind from the NNE at 6 mph, cleaning up a 7ft WNW swell. The combined energy is moderate (959), and the 10-second period gives it some push. This is the best on offer—clean, solid, and the direction is right for Beliche’s sheltered setup. It’s big enough for advanced surfers, though. Friday afternoon sees a bigger 7ft NW swell, but the wind swings to a cross-off at 19 mph, and the energy gets strong (1148). Still clean, but the tide might be a factor. This is a solid option for those who know what they’re doing.
Saturday the 29th has fresh offshore winds both sessions, but the swell drops to 6ft and then 6ft, with period fading. The energy is still moderate (710 and 450), but it’s a step down from Friday. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are smaller and weaker, with energy dropping to around 200-367. The wind stays offshore, but the waves lack punch.
Tuesday the 1st of September has a strong breeze blowing 25-28 mph offshore. The swell is 7ft, but the wind is so strong it’ll be hard to paddle into. Energy is moderate (617). Not ideal for a relaxed session.
After that, there’s a gap of poor conditions through to the 7th. The only glimmer is on Monday the 7th of September afternoon, when a 2ft NW swell shows up with glassy conditions. It’s small, but the energy is low (154) and the wind is dead calm. That’s a longboard or funboard moment if you’re desperate.
The 8th of September sees a return of moderate swell, with 6ft-7ft NNW swells, clean conditions, and moderate energy. The 9th and 10th follow a similar pattern, but the period is short and the wind is cross-off, so it’s ordinary but surfable. The 11th of September has a 5ft NNW swell but the energy is low (392) and the wind is cross-off again.
Overall, the standout is Friday the 28th morning. If you miss that, the 8th and 9th of September offer some hope but with less quality. Expect crowds at Beliche as it’s often busy, and it’s a fairly consistent spot so you’ll get a wave.

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.
