Alright, let’s break this down, my friends. Looking at the whole 16-day picture for Beliche, it’s a quiet stretch for the most part. There’s a big gap of nothing really worth paddling out for in the first week. The water temp is around 68°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
The first little blip you might check out doesn’t come until Saturday afternoon, July 4th. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds. It’s not big, not powerful, but the wind is light and offshore from the north, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is weak at 132. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are flat and not worth a look – tiny waves and side winds messing things up.
The pattern stays pretty lifeless through the first full week. We see some mornings with light offshore winds and tiny knee-high waves, like Tuesday the 7th morning with a 2ft NNW swell and a useless 5-second period. The energy is only 31. It’s clean but there’s just no push.
Things finally start to show some life on Saturday, July 11th. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is fresh and offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean, but that short period means it’ll be a bit bumpy and weak. The combined energy is moderate at 207. It’s still not a classic.
The standout period arrives on Sunday, July 12th. The morning session shows a solid 6ft swell from the NW, period up to 9 seconds. The wind is strong offshore from the NNW – clean but will be powerful. The combined energy jumps to strong at 504. This is the best on offer. It’s getting into that size where it’s not for beginners, but for experienced surfers on a point or reef setup like Beliche, this is the most juice in the whole forecast. The afternoon gets a touch bigger at 6ft with even higher energy at 582. This is the session to circle.
Monday, July 13th, keeps the swell going with a 7ft NNW swell in the morning, period 10 seconds. The offshore wind is strong, making it clean but a real battle to get out. Energy is very strong at 775. This is expert territory.
From Tuesday the 14th onwards, the swell slowly backs off. Tuesday morning still has 6ft from the NNW with strong offshore wind and energy at 557, still clean but challenging. Wednesday the 15th drops to 4ft, and by Thursday the 16th it’s back to tiny 2ft waves with a short period.
The last week fizzles out into nothing worth chasing. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th have tiny swells under 3ft with fresh offshore winds but no real power. The energy numbers are below 120.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a clear highlight on Sunday, July 12th and Monday, July 13th, with strong NW swells and clean offshore winds. The 12th is the pick for the best balance of size, energy, and shape. After that, it’s a long slide back to flatness. Crowds are often a thing at Beliche, so on the best days, expect company.

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.
