Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the table for Beliche over the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, and we’ve got a quiet start before things start to cook.

For the first few days, it’s pretty marginal. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have surf, but it’s small and ordinary – nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at knee-to-waist high waves from the NNW, with combined swell energy reading a weak 221 on Friday morning (moderate energy 156 in the arvo) and dropping to a weak 77 on Saturday morning. The water temp is way colder than normal for this time of year at 66° with a whopping -3° anomaly – that’s unusual, so you’ll want a thick suit. There’s a gap of a couple of days with nothing recommended, so don’t bother paddling out until later.

The real standout window starts on Thursday the 17th. Thursday morning is the pick of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the NNW, combined energy is a strong 1047, and it’s cranking with a moderate offshore wind. The surf will be clean, powerful, and it’s a solid groundswell with a 9-second period. Beliche is a beach and point break that handles a NW swell nicely, and with the offshore wind, it’s going to hold up well. This is for the advanced crew though – over 5ft and pushing towards 7ft, so it’s not for beginners. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Thursday afternoon keeps it going with a 7ft NW swell, lighter wind, and still clean. That’s another top session.

Looking further out, Saturday the 26th has a decent 6ft NW swell with moderate offshore wind, but it’s not quite the same quality as that Thursday peak. Still worth a paddle if you’re keen.

The end of the run, on Friday the 25th, is a wildcard. Swell height bounces to 7ft from the NW with a very long period of 16 seconds and combined energy screaming at a massive 2136 – that’s strong to very strong. It’s a groundswell with fresh offshore wind, but it’s a full week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. That long period will make it top-to-bottom at points and reefs, but at a beach setup it might close out. Keep an eye on it.

Between the big days, you’ve got small surf and cross-shore winds spoiling things. Not much to chase.

So, if you’re looking for the best on offer, Thursday the 17th morning gets the nod – solid 6ft NNW swell, clean offshore breeze, and that strong energy. You’ll want to be on it early before the crowds pile in.

Rusty.
