The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Beliche. This is a sheltered beach and point setup that really only wants a clean northwest swell with some north in the wind to work its magic. The whole 16-day run has some tricky patches, so we’ll need to be patient.

The water here is running at 66°, which is a solid 5° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a very notable drop – definitely feels more like early spring than late summer, so bring the thick rubber.

The first real standout is Sunday the 6th of September. We get a clean, clear morning with a moderate offshore breeze out of the north at 12 mph. The swell is a long-period groundswell from the NW at 4 ft, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a lovely pulse with good energy (combined energy of 479) and those long lulls between sets will make paddling out a breeze. The waves will have some shape, but with that long period and the direction, it might line up a little straight on the beach, so keep an eye on the point section for better lines. The afternoon stays clean but the wind swings cross-off, so the morning window is the pick.

The second standout is more of a promising look further out. Wednesday the 16th of September shows a building swell. The morning has 6 ft from the NW at a short 7-second period, with a moderate cross-off breeze. The combined energy jumps to 459, but the period is short and the conditions are listed as marginal. By the afternoon, the swell pushes up to 7 ft from the NW with 8-second period and energy hitting 725. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s a short-period swell with cross-off wind, so the surface will be clean but the waves will be lumpy and hard to time. This is definitely for experienced surfers only – over 8 ft and it’s getting into expert territory. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the strength of the wind and the choppy nature of the swell.

For the first week, don’t get too excited. The mornings on the 5th and 6th are your best early calls. After the 6th, the wind really starts to crank, with strong offshore breezes over 18 mph making it hard to paddle into even clean waves. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations from the 7th through the 14th. The 15th through 17th show size but with poor surf quality and strong winds.

If you’re after a sneaky session, Thursday the 10th of September offers a clean, glassy afternoon with 3 ft from the NNW at a nice 12-second period and energy of 314. Light wind, clean conditions – worth a look if you’re keen for a paddle.

Overall, Sunday the 6th is your best bet for a quality session. The long-range stuff around the 16th is promising but less certain, and only for the experienced crew.

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.
