The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here in imperial. Let’s break down the next two weeks. It’s a dry start for the first few days with hardly anything worth paddling for. Small, weak, and windy.
At Beliche, a beach and point break that’s fairly consistent but sheltered. The water is about 67°F, which feels a bit colder than normal for the time of year.
The first real glimmer comes on the afternoon of Thursday the 14th. Swell bumps to about 5ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (244). The wind is fresh offshore out of the NNW, so the waves will look clean. That Thursday afternoon is your first honest option.
The big highlight lands on the morning of Tuesday the 18th. We get a solid 5ft of NW groundswell with a 9-second period. The energy jumps to a strong 700, so there’s serious power in the water. It’s also blowing fresh offshore from the north, so the faces will be clean and lined up. For experienced surfers, this is the day to circle on the calendar. At over 5ft, this is expert territory.
Wednesday the 19th stays around 5ft, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds, making the waves more disorganized and crumbly even with offshore wind.
By Thursday the 20th, we get a drop in wind to a light breeze, making it nearly glassy. The swell sits at 5-6ft, and while it’s not huge energy, the conditions will be seriously clean and surfable. That Thursday morning with the light NNE breeze might be the most pleasant session of the whole run for a strong intermediate.
Best call of the whole 16 days? The morning of Tuesday the 18th. That’s where the size, power, and wind all line up.
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.
