The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's talk about the next 16 days for Beliche. It's a slow start, a whole lot of flatness, and then one real window that looks like it could be a cracker.
The water's at 66°F, and it's running about 4°F colder than normal for this time of year. You'll be wanting a good wetsuit, no question.
The first week and a half are pretty much a write-off. From Saturday the 1st right through to the 11th, the swell is tiny, mostly 1 to 3 feet. The wind is often offshore from the NNW, which keeps the surface clean, but the wave energy is just pathetic. The combined energy figures are mostly in the double digits, like 88 on that first Saturday morning. The forecasts are calling it "poor surf conditions" or "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" for days on end. There's a slight bump on Thursday the 6th afternoon with a 4-foot swell from the NW, but the wind is cross-off and it's still rated as poor. Not worth getting excited about.
After a flat spell, things start to kick off around Thursday the 13th. The morning shows a 5-foot swell from the NNW. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it's a bit of a bumpy windswell, but the energy is up to 331. The wind is offshore, so it'll be clean. It's still only rated as "ordinary," but it's a sign of things to come.
The real standout, the session you want to be aiming for, is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. The swell is a solid 7 feet from the NW, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a powerful 643, and that morning wind is fresh offshore from the NNW. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions." That's a proper, clean, powerful swell. At 7 feet on a beach-and-point break like Beliche, that's not for the faint of heart—it's an expert's wave. The afternoon drops off in size and the wind goes cross-off, so it's an early-bird special.
So, the summary is harsh: a long, flat drought for the first 11 days with only a few poor scraps. Then, a real pulse of energy arrives. The best bet, the clear winner, is the morning of Sunday the 16th. It's more than a week away, so it's not set in stone, but if it holds, that's the one.
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.
