The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, for the next couple of days, it’s more of a wait-and-see than a paddle-out. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are mostly a write-off with weak, short-period swell and messy winds. We’ve got a real dry spell here until things start to get interesting.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Monday the 28th. Beliche is seeing a clean 3 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds, and a gentle offshore breeze from the N. The combined wave energy is moderate (183), so it’s not a total loss for a quick session, but it’s still very ordinary. This pattern of small, marginal surf holds through the end of July.
Now, if you’ve got patience, the real standout is shaping up for the first week of August. Monday the 3rd of August is where it starts to get good. The morning brings a clean 4 ft NNW groundswell with a period of 12 seconds, combined with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is ramping up strong at 424. It’s a solid, consistent wave that will have some punch. This is the pick of the entire forecast.
Then, Tuesday the 4th of August is special. The morning at Beliche is glassy, with a 4 ft WNW swell and a 10-second period. The combined energy is a healthy 502. When it’s this clean and the swell is lined up, that’s the time to be in the water. The swell direction (WNW) is a good match for what the spot likes.
The action keeps building. Friday the 7th of August sees the swell pushing up to 6 ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 411, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’s a go. This is expert territory, though, as it gets over 5 ft.
Finally, Saturday the 8th of August is the biggest day of the outlook. The morning delivers a 7 ft NNW swell, with a period of 8 seconds and a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to a very strong 608. This is for experienced surfers only. The waves will be powerful and a bit shifty with that shorter period, but for those who can handle it, it’s a proper session.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a slow grind. The second week, starting August 3rd, is the real deal. The absolute best on offer is the glassy morning of Tuesday the 4th, with the biggest, most powerful surf coming on the 8th.
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.
