Right, so here’s the skinny on Beliche for the next couple weeks.
Water temp is 21°—that’s normal for the season, nothing crazy. First thing to say: the first week is a total flat spell. From Monday July 6th through Saturday July 11th, the swell is mostly 0.2m to 0.5m, periods short, and winds are either cross-on or too strong. Not a wave worth chasing.
For that whole first stretch, the combined energy is in the single digits or teens, barely breaking 100. It’s a solid 6-day dead run.
First chance comes Sunday July 12th morning. Swell shows 1.1m from the NW, 9-second period, combined energy 226 (moderate). Light cross-off breeze. It’s surfable but not good. The afternoon gets blown out.
Monday July 13th to Thursday July 16th: swell sits between 0.4m and 1.1m, winds offshore but often strong (25 to 30 km/h). The energy drops and the quality stays poor. Nothing special.
Friday July 17th morning: a blustery fresh offshore from the N at 30 km/h, 1.4m from the NW, short 6-second period. Combined energy 143 (moderate). Too short and too windy to be clean.
Now Saturday July 18th morning: fresh offshore from the NNW at 35 km/h, swell 1.8m from the NNW, period 7 secs, combined energy 343 (strong). That’s the first bit of real muscle, but 1.8m with a short period is lumpy—expert territory.
Sunday July 19th morning: 2.4m from the NNW, still brisk offshore, combined energy 632 (strong). Very solid size, still short-period (8 secs), so it’s heavy and a bit raw. For the advanced bunch, it could be fun but isn’t polished.
Here’s the standout: Monday July 20th morning. Swell 2.0m from the NNW, 8-second period, combined energy 476 (strong), and a crisp moderate offshore from the NNW. The report says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the one to aim for. Tuesday July 21st morning is nearly identical: 1.9m, same direction, same offshore wind, combined energy 425 (strong), another solid call.
After that, the wind cranks up again afternoons and the swell fades. Beliche often has a crowd, so on those stand-out mornings you won’t be alone.
Second week has two real mornings of quality—July 20th and 21st. It’s a long way out, but the signals are lining up for something worth paddling for.

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.
