The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking at Beliche.
Right now, the surf is a write-off. Sunday, August 23rd, is a no-go with onshore winds and messy, poor surf conditions. The same goes for Monday, the 24th – the wind is cross-onshore and the swell is short period and choppy. We’re looking at a bit of a gap here.
Things start to show a pulse of life on Tuesday morning, August 25th. The wind goes glassy, totally clean, and we’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate at 214 (moderate wave energy). It’s only a 1/10 score, but it’s surfable, and that glassy morning will be a welcome sight for a paddle. The afternoon turns choppy again, so make the most of the dawn.
Wednesday, August 26th, is a write-off – small and onshore. Thursday, the 27th, is clean but small, with a 4ft NW swell. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Now, Friday, August 28th, is the standout. Early morning, the wind is offshore from the North, and the swell holds at 6ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, packing a strong 620 (strong wave energy). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best session on offer. The NW direction is a touch off the optimum, but that offshore wind will have it clean. The afternoon gets a bit too windy.
Saturday, August 29th, still has some punch. The morning is offshore again, with a 7ft NNW swell and a strong 1118 (strong wave energy). It’s a bit more size, but it’s a touch more north, and the period is 10 seconds, a solid groundswell. The afternoon wind picks up, so stick to the early session.
The rest of the run into the first week of September is a mixed bag of clean but small surf, or bigger swells that are blown out. The whole period after the 29th is mostly poor, with lots of offshore winds but poor waves. The only real, raw power window is that Friday and Saturday morning.
Beliche is a fairly consistent break, but there are long stretches here with nothing. The best bet is definitely Friday, August 28th, morning. The water is about average for the time of year.
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.
