Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beliche over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me break it down for Beliche. The next couple weeks start real slow, so don’t grab your board just yet.
You’ve got more than a week of flatness from the 9th through the 18th. The swell sits at 1 to 2 feet for most of that, with combined energy numbers mostly below 100 (44-107), meaning no power. The water temp is about 70°, which is normal for this time of year. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th look clean, but the swell is just too small to matter. Even when the period stretches out to 11 seconds on Saturday the 11th, the swell is only 1 feet and the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s messy. Sunday the 12th bumps up to 4 feet with moderate energy (208), but the wind is cross-on, so no dice.
Things finally kick off on Saturday the 18th. The swell jumps to 6 feet in the morning, hitting 7 feet in the afternoon, both from the NNW. The energy hits 531, so there’s proper power. But the wind is a fresh cross-off with a short 7-8 second period, so it’s going to be raw and jumbled. At 7 feet, that’s expert-only territory, and with the beach-and-point setup, it might be more fun for the kite surfers than paddle guys.
The real sweet spot is Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 21st. Sunday morning the 19th brings 7 feet from the NNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is fresh offshore. The energy is massive at 767. This is heavy, only for experienced surfers. Sunday afternoon is still raw with cross-off wind, but Monday the 20th is the standout. Monday morning has 7 feet NNW swell, 9-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. The energy is 856, and the wind is light. That’s the best session of the forecast – big, clean, and powerful. Tuesday the 21st still holds at 5 feet from the NNW, and Tuesday afternoon goes glassy with 5 feet. The water is about average for the time of year.
After that, the wind shifts cross-on from the ESE and SE from Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops under 3 feet, and it gets choppy and lumpy. The energy fades below 200. It’s done by the end of the week.
So your best bet is Monday the 20th. Big swell, clean, offshore wind. That’s the one to mark on the calendar.

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.
