The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it's a slow start. We're looking at a real flat spell for the first few days. The forecast kicks off on Thursday the 30th of July with some tiny 1ft waves from the WNW, but the energy is weak (55) and the conditions are just poor. Honestly, it's not worth getting wet. This doldrums hang around for a good few days, with nothing but tiny, gutless swell until we get to Tuesday the 4th of August.
On Tuesday morning, we finally see a pulse of 3ft swell from the WNW, with energy picking up to 128. The wind is offshore from the NNW, which is a good sign. It's described as "surfable but very ordinary," and with a short period of 8 seconds, it's not going to be anything special. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is a notable 4° colder than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a decent wetsuit for the first session.
The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is shaping up for Tuesday the 11th of August. We get a solid 7ft swell from the NNW, with a moderate 8-second period. The energy jumps up to 464, and the best part? The wind is offshore from the NNW all day. The conditions are expected to be good, and with the swell holding at 7ft, this is the pick of the entire forecast. This is solid, punchy surf for the experienced crew. Beliche is a sheltered spot, best with a NW swell, so this NNW swell is a little off its optimum, but the quality of the conditions should make up for it.
For the rest of the second week, we see the swell hanging in there. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August have 7ft NNW/NW swell, but the wind gets stronger and more cross-off, making the conditions more marginal. The energy is very high, hitting 1019 on Wednesday morning, but the strong winds will chop it up. It's going to be a powerful, challenging session for experts only.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the first week of nothing, then get ready for a proper session on Tuesday the 11th of August. That's the one to circle.

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.
