Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Beliche. It’s gonna be a long wait for anything decent, but there’s a little reward at the end if you’ve got patience.

First thing to know: for a good week and a half, from now through to the 22nd of July, it’s mostly small, weak, and unexciting. The swell is tiny for days—mostly hanging between 1 ft and 4 ft with combined wave energy often struggling to reach 100, or barely over that. The wind is consistently cross-off or offshore, keeping things clean, but the problem is the lack of real push. You’ll see periods as short as 5 seconds, which is just noisy chop, and even when the period stretches to 9 seconds, the swell height is so small it’s barely rideable. This is a beach and point setup, and it’s sheltered from the NW, which is the optimum direction—but the swell just isn’t delivering for paddle surfing early on.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th offer tiny, clean surf, but honestly, you’re looking at knee-high dribble. The water temp is 70° with a half-degree anomaly—about what you’d expect for the time of year.

Things start to show a pulse around the 18th and 19th, but don’t get too excited yet. On Saturday the 18th, we get 5 ft to 5 ft from the NW, period still short at 6 to 7 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 167 and then 233 (moderate energy). The wind is strong offshore—fresh to strong breeze—and it’s clean, but the short period means the waves will be a bit dumpy and hard to paddle into. Not beginner friendly at all. For advanced surfers, it’s a solid offshore wind day, but it’s not the standout of the forecast.

Sunday the 19th holds similar size, 5 ft to 5 ft, period stretching to 9 seconds, energy hitting 355 (moderate). Still clean with cross-off wind. Good, not great.

The true standout lands on Saturday the 25th of July. That’s the one to mark. In the afternoon, we’ve got 6 ft of NW swell with a 10-second period—that’s a nice groundswell with real grunt—combined energy of 652 (strong wave energy). And the wind? Dead calm. Glassy as a lake. Offshore wind direction, zero wind speed. That’s as clean as it gets. For Beliche, this is the pick of the whole run. The swell direction matches the optimum NW, and the size is solid but manageable for most surfers—not too big for intermediates, but with plenty of power for experts. Because of the longer period, it’ll be better shaped, though at a beach and point setup, the sets might stand up and pitch nicely. The water’s likely still warm, and with glassy conditions, the crowds could be an issue if it’s local knowledge—Beliche can get busy, so get there early.

Before that, on Thursday the 23rd afternoon, we get 7 ft at 8 seconds off the NW, with light offshore wind—clean but a bit fat and lumpy due to the short period. That’s expert territory at 7 ft, but the wind is kind.

So, bottom line: if you can wait, Saturday the 25th of July afternoon is your day. Glassy, solid, clean. The rest of the run is mostly for the keen or the kite surfers—there’s plenty of strong, clean offshore wind, but the surf quality just isn’t there for paddle surfing until that final weekend.

Keep your eyes on the sky, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
