The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer around Beliche for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a grind. We’ve got a long wait before anything really clicks. The swell is there, but the wind and quality just aren’t lining up for a good paddle session. There’s a gap of several days where the surf is either too ordinary or straight-up poor. The energy is building and dropping, with combined energy values starting low around 283 and rising into the moderate range at 438 on Thursday the 10th, but that fresh offshore wind is making it more of a chore than a pleasure.
The standout window finally arrives on Sunday the 13th, with a shift in conditions. By the afternoon, we see a cleaner setup. A 3ft swell from NW with a very long period of 13 seconds is pushing in, and the combined energy is strong at 568. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. This is a reef and point setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely—better shape and longer lulls between sets making it easier to get out. This is the best on offer in the first half of the outlook.
Looking further out, Thursday the 17th morning sees a bigger pulse of 6ft NW groundswell with an 11-second period and strong energy at 766. But the wind is cross-off and the surf quality is marked as marginal with questionable tides. It’s promising but less certain.
The real late-game highlight is Sunday the 20th. We get glassy conditions—glassy!—with a light offshore breeze from the NE and a clean 2ft NW swell with a very long 14-second period and moderate energy at 317. The water is about average for this time of year. For a sheltered spot like Beliche, that glassy window is a gift. It won’t be big, but the quality will be pure. Keep an eye on Wednesday the 23rd as well, where a 5ft NW swell with a 12-second period and clean wind shows combined energy at 606, which looks like another solid option.
Don’t bother with the days before that Sunday—save your energy for those clean, glassy moments. Crowds are often here, so be ready for company on the good days.

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.
