The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Beliche over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag with a lot of ordinary conditions, but there is one standout session that's got me excited. For the first week, you'll be scratching your head wondering where the good surf went, but hang in there.
Starting off on Wednesday, September 2nd, we've got some clean, rideable waves at Beliche (beach and point). The morning sees a 3ft NW swell, with a period of 9 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the north. The water is sitting at 67.1°, which is 3.8° colder than usual for this time of year, so that's a bit nippy. The combined swell energy is moderate (229). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon is similar, with a bit more size at 4ft but a shorter period.
Thursday the 3rd starts with a 3.3ft NW swell, but we get a brief moment of magic in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy, the swell drops to 2.3ft from the NW, and it's clean. The energy is weak (109), but for a small wave cruiser, that's your window. Friday is a write-off, with tiny 2ft waves and poor conditions.
We get a bit of a pulse on Saturday the 5th, with a 3ft NW swell, but the wind is messy. A better chance that afternoon with a cross-off breeze and clean 3ft waves.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Sunday, September 6th, the swell period jumps to 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. We've got a 3ft NNW swell in the morning, jumping to 3.6ft in the afternoon. The wind is solid offshore. The combined energy jumps to strong (353 and 361). The catch? The wind is a fresh 22 mph in the afternoon, which, while offshore, makes it hard work. This is for the advanced crew.
Monday and Tuesday see the swell holding around 3.6ft to 5.6ft, but with brutal 22-25 mph offshore winds. It's clean, but you'll be paddling against a jet engine. The energy is very strong (709 and 669), but the conditions are not user-friendly.
The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is Sunday, September 13th. The afternoon session is the pick of the entire forecast. We've got a 5.2ft NW swell with a long 12-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is very strong (821). The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," and I'm buzzing about it. This is a proper groundswell, so it'll be best at the point, offering long, clean lines. For the advanced surfer, this is the day.
Monday the 14th onwards sees the swell drop back, with onshore winds spoiling the party. The week after that has a few pulses, but the winds are generally cross-off or strong offshore, making it tough. We get another notable pulse on Wednesday, September 16th, with a 5.6ft NW swell and a 13-second period, but the cross-off wind holds it back from being a true standout.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a struggle with small, messy waves. The absolute highlight is the glassy, 5.2ft groundswell on the afternoon of Sunday, September 13th. That's your session. The rest is for the hardcore or the patient.

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.
