The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Beliche. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, so I’ll walk you through it.

We’ve got a solid window of small to moderate northwest swell on the way, but the wind is gonna be the big talking point for most of it. The water’s been sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year – you’ll want a decent spring suit.

First up, the standout is Sunday the 16th. Early morning at Beliche, we’ve got a glassy, clean sheet of water with a 6ft NW swell rolling in. The combined energy is nice and meaty (512), and with that light NNE breeze, it’s gonna be proper clean. The swell period is a touch short at 9 seconds, so it’s not gonna be the most powerful thing in the world, but for a Sunday session, you can’t ask for much more. Now, the crowd factor – this spot does get “often” busy, so get in early if you want a piece of it. This is your best bet of the whole forecast.

From Monday the 17th through to Thursday the 20th, it drops right off. We’re looking at tiny, mediocre waves under 3ft, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing things up. Not worth paddling out for. A real flat spell.

Then things pick back up on Friday the 21st. The swell bumps back up to 7ft from the NNW, and we’ve got a stiff offshore wind (22 mph) cleaning it up. The energy is strong (535), but the period is a short 8 seconds, and with a strong offshore breeze like that, it’s gonna be hard to get into and a bit of a battle out the back. This is more for the advanced crew – if you’re a beginner, that 7ft is getting too big. Saturday the 22nd is a step down in size (6ft) but still solid offshore, though the same caveats apply.

The rest of that second week, from Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month, we’ve got a slow fading trend. Mornings sometimes offer a clean, offshore window with waist to head-high waves (4 to 5ft), but the energy drops off. Nothing will match that glassy Sunday the 16th. By the final weekend, it’s back to tiny, unrideable dribble.

So, bottom line: if you’ve got your eye on a decent wave, make it Sunday morning the 16th for the cleanest, most inviting conditions. The following Friday and Saturday are worth a look for the more experienced crew, but it’s gonna be a fight against the wind.

Stay stoked.
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.
