The Lowdown

Right now, Beliche is the only spot worth talking about, and honestly, it’s a bit all over the place for the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at 66°—a good few degrees colder than usual for this time of year, so don’t be fooled by the sun; you’ll want the full suit. It’s a beach and point set-up, sheltered from the main swell, so it needs the right angle to get going.

The next few days are pretty much a dead loss. Tuesday’s got a weak 2ft swell with a 10-second period, and the energy is sitting at 101—that’s barely a bump. There’s an offshore breeze, but it’s not doing much. Wednesday sees a jump to 8ft, but it’s short-period, lumpy, and the cross-off wind is strong. That’s not surfable, that’s just a mess. Thursday’s still pushing 8ft plus with a 10-second period, but the wind stays on it and the tide’s iffy. It’s big, but it’s not clean. If you’re new to this, stay out of the water—over 8ft is expert territory, and even then, it looks frustrating.

Now, Friday the 18th is where things start to turn. The swell drops to a more manageable 7ft, the period shortens a touch to 9 seconds, but the wind goes light offshore in the morning. It’s still a solid wave, but it’s clean. The energy is moderate at 856, so there’s some push. That’s the first real window where Beliche starts to feel like a surf spot again.

Saturday the 19th is the standout of this whole stretch, no doubt about it. The morning is a bit sketchy with a cross-onshore breeze and a 15-second period that tends to close out at this kind of break. But the afternoon? That’s the one. Swell drops to 6-7ft, the period eases to 14 seconds, and the wind swings light offshore—clean, glassy lines. The energy is pumping at 1576, strong, and the direction is right out of the NNW, exactly what this spot likes. It’s not huge, but it’s got power and shape. That’s your window. Expect a few more folks in the water, because days like this at a sheltered spot don’t stay empty for long.

After that, it backs off through the second week. Sunday and Monday are poor—cross-shore winds, chop, and the swell fading to 4-5ft and then 3-4ft. Not worth the paddle. Tuesday the 22nd picks up a bit with 4ft and a 12-second period, light offshore wind, and clean conditions. It’s small, but it’s clean. The energy is only 416, so it’s weak, but if you’ve got a longboard, it’ll be fun.

Wednesday the 23rd morning is glassy—zero wind, 3ft of NW swell at 14 seconds. That’s a pretty, clean little wave, but it’s tiny. The energy at 410 is weak. Not a standout, but a nice paddle if you just want to get wet.

Then there’s a bit of a lull again—Thursday’s poor, Friday’s ordinary. But Saturday the 26th brings a late pulse. Swell jumps to 6ft in the morning, with a 16-second period—that’s proper groundswell. The wind is fresh offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the period is so long that at a beach and point like this, it might be breaking too straight. The energy is solid at 1648, so there’s real power, but it’s a bit of a gamble on shape. The afternoon pushes to 6ft plus with a 15-second period, but the wind gets a bit cross-off. Still, it’s promising—but it’s a week out, so treat it as a “might be good” rather than a guarantee.

The last couple of days ease off again. Sunday the 27th has a fresh offshore breeze, 4-5ft, but the period drops to 12–14 seconds and conditions are marginal. Monday the 28th is clean with 4ft and a 12-second period, decent energy at 684—good, but not great. Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th are smaller, 3-4ft, and the wind gets a bit stronger, so it gets messy.

So, bottom line: the best surf in this window is Saturday the 19th afternoon. That’s the one to circle. The Saturday the 26th has potential, but it’s too far out to call with confidence. Everything else is small, weak, or blown out. If you’re keen, hit that Saturday, and maybe the glassy Wednesday morning for a fun one. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait.

Rusty out.

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.
