The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The only break on the radar is Beliche, and it’s not exactly firing for the first few days. The swell is small and the conditions are just ordinary. You’ll see a bit of a pick-up from Sunday the 6th, but the real standout is going to be that Sunday morning session. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW groundswell rolling in with a solid 12-second period, and the wind is offshore. The combined energy is moderate (479) so there’s some push there. It’s a beach and point setup, so that long period should wrap in nicely. Expect a bit of a lull between sets, but the paddle out will be easier. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you’ve got a good chance.
The morning of Monday the 7th sees a bit more size, 4ft from the WNW, but with a fresh 19 mph offshore wind, it’s going to be bumpy and the forecast is marginal. Not the best call. The same goes for Tuesday morning. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird.
We get another decent window on Thursday the 10th. The morning shows a clean 4ft NW swell, again with solid 12-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is back up to moderate (473). This is a solid option for a mid-week paddle. The afternoon session is also looking clean with a light breeze.
After that, the surf drops off significantly. You’ve got small, weak waves from Friday the 11th onwards, with a lot of poor conditions and onshore winds creeping in. The weekend of the 13th and 14th has some size but it’s messy. Mid-week the following week is just small and weak. There’s a small window of hope on the 19th with a 5ft WNW swell, but it’s cross-shore wind and the period is short – looks more like a kite session than a surf session.
So, if you’re looking for the best wave, make it Sunday the 6th morning at Beliche. That’s your pick. The Thursday the 10th morning is your second-best bet. After that, it’s a long stretch of nothing special until the 19th, but even that’s a gamble. Keep your eyes on the forecast, things can change.
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.
