Alright folks, Rusty here. Settle in, because the outlook for Beliche is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some decent swell on the charts, but the wind is going to be a real factor, so we gotta be smart about when and where we paddle out.
For the first few days, it’s a tough go. Friday the 3rd has some size, about 4ft from the NNW, but that ESE cross-shore wind at 19 mph is going to chop it up something fierce. Not worth getting out of bed for. Saturday the 4th sees the swell drop right off, but a window opens Saturday afternoon. We get a clean 2ft wave, and the wind swings offshore from the north, a light 6 mph breeze. It’s small, but it’ll be clean, so if you’re itching for a few longboard waves, that’s your chance. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Then things go flat. We’re looking at a long gap of tiny, messy surf from Sunday the 5th all the way through the end of the first week and into the start of the second. We’re talking waist-high dribble with next to no energy. Don’t bother.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. We start to see some life again around Sunday the 12th. The morning brings a clean 4ft from the NW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. The combined swell energy is moderate (186). It’s not a standout, but it’s the first proper wave in a while.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, looks to be Friday the 17th into Saturday the 18th. On Friday afternoon, Beliche sees a jump in size to 5ft from the NW, and the period stretches out to 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is a solid 357. It’s still a bit of a cross-offshore wind, but it’s clean. Then, Saturday the 18th morning looks promising. We’ve got that same 5ft of NW swell, period at 8 seconds, and the wind is a proper offshore from the NNW at 16 mph. That’s the best setup we’ve seen in the whole forecast. The energy is strong (286). This will be one for the experienced crew, as it’s a bit of size and punch. Keep an eye on the long-range for this one though, it’s a week and a half away, so don’t book the time off just yet. It’s a bit too big for beginners at that size.
Overall, if you’re local, the pickings are slim until the second week. The best bet is that Saturday the 18th morning window for the experts. If you’re not fussed about size, the Saturday afternoon session on the 4th is your only clean, small option. Hang tight.
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.
