The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Beliche. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a real gem hidden in there if you’re patient.
The next week and a half is mostly a write-off with poor conditions, but there’s one standout day that’s got me properly excited. You’ll have to wait for it, though. The first decent surf doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning the 25th of August, but even that’s just “ordinary” – a small 5ft swell from the WNW with glassy conditions. Not a goer, but at least it’s clean.
Wednesday and Thursday stay small and messy, nothing to bother with. The real action kicks off on Friday morning the 28th of August. That’s the one. An excellent 10ft groundswell from the NW, period pushing 13 seconds, and a clean, offshore N wind at 16 mph. The wave energy is pumping (3018), but this is a big one – over 8ft, so it’s strictly for experts only. Beliche is a sheltered beach and point, and this long-period NW swell will be moving fast, so it’ll be a proper test of skill. Crowds are often an issue here, so expect a few others in the water.
The rest of the month and into September is a letdown. From Saturday the 29th of August right through to the 7th of September, it’s nearly all poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly offshore and clean, but the swell is either too small, too short-period, or the wind is just too strong – we’re talking 25 mph winds that make paddling a nightmare. A few mornings on the 4th and 5th of September show some potential, but nothing that really stands out. The last week is a real dud, with strong cross-shore winds and messy chop.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got the skills and the patience, Friday the 28th of August is your day. For everyone else, it’s a long wait.
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.
