The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Beliche has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some real promise later on, but a lot of patience needed first.
Right off the bat, the water at Beliche is sitting at 67°, which is 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a noticeable drop, so you’ll want a good wetsuit.
The first bit of surf worth paddling for is Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. We’ve got clean 4ft waves from the NW, with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is moderate (205), and while the period is a short 8 seconds, it’s surfable. Not a standout, but something to wet the line.
Then we hit a dry spell. Thursday the 3rd through Saturday the 5th is pretty poor – small, weak waves with onshore or cross-off winds. Not worth your time.
The first real standout arrives Sunday morning, September 6th. This is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW groundswell with a long 12-second period. The wind is offshore from the north, and the energy jumps to moderate (426). This is a quality session for the experienced surfer – the longer period will push through nicely at this beach and point setup. Expect good shape and some proper lines.
The following Monday and Tuesday, September 7th and 8th, see bigger swell but also stronger winds. Monday morning has 3ft WNW groundswell at 13 seconds, with a fresh offshore wind (524 energy). Tuesday pumps up to 7ft - 8ft NW, but that’s with a strong 25 mph offshore breeze. For a beach and point like Beliche, that’s more of a kite-surfing session than a clean paddle. The waves will be bumpy and hard to get into. Only for the die-hards.
After that, the surf trickles down through the middle of the month. Thursday the 10th offers a clean 6ft NW groundswell in the morning, but the wind is fresh offshore, making it tricky. Energy is moderate (412).
Now, here’s the next true standout. Look to Monday afternoon, September 14th. A solid 5ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period rolls in. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, and the combined energy is strong (1413). It’s clean and has real push. Then Tuesday morning, September 15th, holds steady with 6ft NW at the same period, though with a light cross-shore breeze (1014 energy). Tuesday afternoon is the pick: 5ft NW groundswell, 13 seconds, cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions with 814 energy. That’s your best bet for the second week – a proper long-period groundswell that will wrap into the point.
The last few days of the forecast, Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th, drop right back down. Clean but small, with strong winds making it a chore rather than a joy.
So overall, if you’re after the best, target Sunday morning the 6th and Tuesday afternoon the 15th. Those are the sessions where everything lines up.
Rusty out.

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.
