The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Beliche stretch over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s going to be a real grind. There’s a long gap of nothing special coming up. We’re looking at a run of days from Wednesday the 9th right through to midday on Monday the 21st where the surf is mostly poor or just ordinary. The energy is weak to moderate, with combined swell energy readings mostly in the 80s to 400s, and the conditions are just not coming together. There’s a lot of cross-off and cross-onshore wind, and the swell is often short-period at 8 seconds, which just doesn’t pack a punch. You’ll see a few 3 ft to 6 ft waves from the NW, but the wind and chop will make it a messy affair. Definitely not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a splash.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 19th. The afternoon session at Beliche (a beach and point setup) is where things get interesting. We’ve got a solid NW groundswell pushing in at 4 ft, with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s that deep ocean energy, and combined with a moderate offshore wind from the NNW (16 mph), it’s going to be clean. The combined swell energy jumps to 662 (moderate wave energy), and the forecast calls for *good* surf. This is the standout for the first week. The long period means it’ll be better shaped and have more power, but it might break a little too straight on the beach sections – keep an eye on the point for the better lines. Crowds are possible here, as it’s often busy.

Further out, keep your eyes on Thursday the 24th. The morning session is a real banger. We’re talking a 7 ft swell from the NW with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 1104 (strong wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, making for glassy, clean conditions. This is the heavyweight champion of the forecast. The forecast says *very good* surf. That said, 7 ft is getting into the expert zone, so if you’re not confident, watch from the sand. It’s a long way out, so treat this one as a promising but not certain bet.

Water temps are about average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit change-up.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is the afternoon of Saturday the 19th for a clean, long-period swell, and if you’re feeling brave, the morning of Thursday the 24th is the big one to watch out for.

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.
