The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let's talk about the surf for Beliche over the next couple weeks.
The outlook is a slow burner with no true standout, but there's a couple clean windows with decent waves if you're keen. This spot is a sheltered beach and point that likes north-west swell.
Water temps are 20°, which is 2° colder than usual for this time of year—that's a notable chill, so suit up properly.
We start Wednesday the 2nd with small, clean surf. Morning has a 0.9m north-west swell at 9 seconds, with gentle north winds at 15 km/h. Glassy and clean, but wave energy is moderate (229). It's surfable but very ordinary. Thursday the 3rd is a total loss with poor winds and tiny swell.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th stay tiny, though Saturday morning goes glass: 0.9m north-west swell, no wind, clean. Energy is weak (115) though—a longboard session.
Sunday the 6th brings the first real pulse. Morning: north-west swell at 1.0m, 12-second period, fresh north winds at 25 km/h. Clean, moderate wave energy (360), and that longer period gives it some punch. Not big, but the best quality so far. Wind gets strong in the arvo.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th see strong energy (565 and 782), but it's blown out by strong offshore winds over 40 km/h. Clean but brutal to paddle into.
Thursday the 10th is clean with a 1.4m north-north-west swell, moderate offshore wind, but a short 6-second period—lacks shape.
Now, the pick of the forecast is Friday the 11th of September. Morning: clear, north-north-west swell at 1.7m, 8-second period, gentle north winds at 15 km/h. Strong wave energy (427), clean, and the break is fairly consistent. This is the goer—good size, offshore breeze, manageable. It's a bit much for beginners, but for everyone else it's on. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Saturday the 12th goes poor, then Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th drop right off. But Monday afternoon (14th September) has a surprise: glassy conditions, 0.9m west-north-west swell at 12 seconds, moderate energy (336). That long period at a point could line up nicely.
The second week is mostly small and ordinary. Tuesday the 15th has a clean 1.1m north-west swell at 11 seconds in the morning, then wind turns onshore. Wednesday the 16th afternoon cleans up again: 1.1m north-west swell, 12-second period, light offshore, moderate energy (318). After that, it's tiny and weak.
Bottom line: best session is Friday the 11th of September for size and clean conditions. Monday the 14th afternoon is a glassy wildcard. The rest is either small or messy.
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.
