Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what's ahead for Beliche.

Alright, the next couple of weeks at Beliche start off pretty average, but there's a proper pulse of energy building for later on that’s got my attention. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.

First up, this weekend is a bit of a non-starter. Saturday morning you’ll see tiny 3ft swell from the NNW with a short period and weak energy (74), and it’s glassy but the combo just doesn’t have any push. Saturday arvo stays small at 3ft, energy picks up a touch (118), but the wind goes cross-off from the NW, making it clean but very ordinary. Sunday morning drops even smaller to 2ft and gets messy with a cross-shore. Sunday afternoon is where it gets interesting – a 4ft NW groundswell with a nice 13-second period and clean offshore wind from the north. The energy jumps to (431), and that’s a solid, clean wave for a more experienced paddler. Not huge, but the quality is there.

Monday stays clean but the swell drops back to 4ft in the morning and the period eases. Tuesday morning the wind howls from the NNW at 22 mph and the swell is tiny, not worth a look. Wednesday the 16th brings a massive jump in size – 8ft in the morning and 10ft in the arvo. That’s proper power (981 and 1351 energy), but the period is short (8-9 seconds) and the wind is howling at 25-28 mph. That’s expert-only territory and frankly, with that wind, it’s going to be a battle. The setup at Beliche is sheltered, so it might hold, but that’s more for the chargers who can handle the punch.

Now, Thursday the 17th is the real standout. Early morning we’ve got 8ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, strong offshore wind, and a huge 1448 energy reading. That’s going to be powerful, clean, and hollow. For the experienced crew, this is the best session on offer. It’s going to be big and it’s going to be working. Expect some crowd action too – this spot can get busy when it’s this good.

Friday the 18th still has a clean 6ft swell in the morning with 501 energy, a fun size for a step-down board, and the wind is light. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th see a drop in size back to the 3-4ft range, but the period is long again (14-15 seconds), offering that glide. The wind is cross or light offshore, so it’ll be clean but maybe a little lined up. Not the standout, but a good paddle.

Through the rest of the window, into the 22nd and 23rd, there’s more 5ft to 6ft swell with moderate energy (794-1011), but the winds get tricky – cross-shore and sometimes onshore – so it’s less consistent quality. The last few days of September fade out to small, clean but weak conditions.

So to wrap it up: the big, clean, standout session is definitely *Thursday the 17th of September* for the experts with that strong offshore and solid 8ft swell. For the less masochistic, *Sunday the 13th* afternoon and *Friday the 18th* morning offer cleaner, more manageable waves. There’s a decent run of energy here, but you have to pick your windows.
