The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I've got to be straight with you. This stretch is looking pretty lean for us at Beliche. There's a real gap here where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with only small, weak waves and conditions that just don't get the blood pumping. We're looking at a long, quiet spell right through the end of July and into the first week of August.
The first sniff of something that might get you interested comes around Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning sees a bit of a lift with 2ft of WNW swell and a moderate offshore breeze. The combined energy is a modest 119 (moderate), so it's not going to blow your socks off, but it's the first surfable wave we've seen in a while. It's very ordinary, but it's a start.
Now, if you're a patient soul, the real standout here is shaping up for Tuesday the 11th of August. For the morning, we're looking at 4ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 310 (moderate), which is the most punch we've seen all forecast. The wind is a fresh offshore from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. It's a beach and point setup, so that small window of glassy conditions will be the time to go. It's not huge, but it's the best on offer by a long shot. The afternoon holds similar size, but the wind goes cross-off, so the morning is definitely the call.
The rest of the window after that fades back into small, poor conditions with strong winds. Overall, it's a waiting game for that one Tuesday morning window.
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.
