Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer.

First up, Beliche (beach and point). The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing wild. The first few days are a real snoozer. We’re talking tiny waves, 0.6ft to 1.0ft, with periods around 7–8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely 100–200 (moderate). The wind is offshore and clean, but there’s just no power. A gap of several days with nothing to report.

Wednesday the 4th and Thursday the 5th are a washout – cross-shore winds and even smaller surf. Friday the 6th brings a 0.6ft swell from the NNW with a 12-second period – longer period, so better shape, but still tiny. Combined energy is 143 (moderate).

The first real glimmer is Monday the 9th of September. A 1ft swell from the NNW, period 6 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the NNW – clean. Combined energy 323 (moderate). It’s “surfable but very ordinary.”

The best of the early stuff is on Wednesday the 11th of September. A 2ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds, with a fresh offshore wind from the NNW – clean. Combined energy 354 (moderate). Not a monster, but clean. Crowds are “often” here, so expect some company.

But the standout is Tuesday the 17th of September. A 2ft swell from the NW, period 10 seconds, combined energy 684 (strong wave energy), with a moderate offshore wind from the NNW – clean. The guidance says “expect good surf conditions.” The swell direction (NW) matches the optimum (NW) for Beliche, and the offshore wind will keep it glassy. At 2ft, it’s fine for intermediates, but a bit much for beginners. That’s the one to keep an eye on.

So, a slow start, then a few small windows, but the 17th is the real deal. It’s a ways off, so don’t book the day off just yet, but it’s promising.

Rusty.
